“From among the jungles and rice paddies of central Bali, Indonesia, a website popped up last week selling freshly roasted coffee beans from local producers. Technology and travelers have made direct-from-source coffee popular for a while now, but this operation has a unique point: it will trade beans only for bitcoin. The business is The Roast Station Project and leading it is JB Allen, aka the ‘Java Nomad’. Allen is one of a growing number of laptop-powered entrepreneurs to make a home, or at least a string of temporary bases, in Southeast Asia. In 2010s parlance, they’re digital nomads, Lifestyle Businesspeople, Tropical MBAs or just location-independent CEOs.”
