The big hurdle for small Caribbean countries will be that tourists bring in tons of dollars, so there's strong organic pressure keeping that the locally preferred currency.

About the tourists, that's also true... And might be a negative point towards adoption of BTC since there would be no apparent incentive to use bitcoin.
