Panama City’s Crypto-Friendly Mayor: The Mayer Mizrachi Story

Feb 18, 2026 3:29 pm

Most politicians talk about reform, but there are very few who actually pick up a shovel and start filling potholes themselves. And in the case of Panama City’s Mayor, Mayer Mizrachi, he’s done exactly that. 


In today’s episode, I’ll share with you the story of Panama City’s young, savvy, crypto-friendly Mayor. He’s no career politician, not by a longshot. He’s a tech entrepreneur and a former political prisoner.


Now, he’s reshaping one of Latin America’s most strategic capital cities with a pro-business, pro-Bitcoin, “roll up your sleeves and get it done” mindset.


Enjoy!
