The former MP of Tonga – Lord Fusitu’a – thinks Fiji and Tonga should both declare bitcoin legal tender in 2023.

Sitiveni Rabuka became Fiji’s 12th Prime Minister after winning the country’s elections earlier this month. The 74-year-old, commonly known by his nickname “Rambo,” is a proponent of bitcoin.

Former member of Parliament of Tonga Lord Fusitu’a applauded the Rabuka for his success, supporting the idea of Fiji and Tonga embracing the primary cryptocurrency as legal tender in 2023.
