Good morning ๐
Itโs hard getting used to โnormalโ money after the low fiat diet enjoyed in #ElZonte
Only paid for a laundry service in dollars in 3 days here.


Surfed twice
Called girlfriend
Recorded interview
Scripted and scheduled a video
Dinner with a pal
Get home to realise a bunch of people are having a party right next to my window.
Facking priceless
Night nostr
Kudos to Ronnie for setting this place up in El Zonte bitcoin beach ๐ค


Happy Birthday @Isa โก๏ธ
Thank you for organising a lovely dinner @Efrat Fenigson
And a special mention to the lower step that Iโm on for making us all fit in the frame ๐ผ๏ธ ๐

I have shitty internet in El Salvador rn.

I interviewed the man on the ground in Lebanon and Subsaharan africa, Sooly!
He's just the best dude. Go and listen to all things Nostr, Lightning, War and Liberty from Lebanon to teh world.
Here's his npub so you can follow him:

lol it do be like that though.
I would wager that El Salvador govt stops stacking btc in 6 months tops.
Ultimately, itโs on grassroots communities to get shit done when it comes to btc

Sir, this is a Wendyโs.
And you CAN pay in bitcoin..
โฆbut only if you have Chivo wallet.
So basically you canโt pay in btc if youโre a foreigner ๐ค ๐
This was my first time visiting a Wendyโs and it made me wanna flip a table.


Your man is working on a mini investigation video:
โDid the IMF just kill bitcoin payments in El Salvador? โ
But first.
Good morning from a random comedor in San Salvador ๐ ๐ธ๐ป


obviously i don't expect a reply but it's still important to ask the wonks at the IMF these things


Is #Bitcoin no longer LEGAL TENDER in El Salvador ๐ธ๐ป ?
According to Julie Kozack, Director of the Communications Department at the IMF, the use of Bitcoin is now "voluntary".

Transcript of IMF Press Briefing, December 19, 2024
MS. KOZACK: Good morning, everyone. Great to see you all here in person, online, and online and welcome to this IMF Press Briefing. I'm Julie Koza...

Good morning ๐
Meet the African Township that uses #bitcoin
Follow @BitcoinEkasi if you donโt already ๐งก ๐ฟ๐ฆ
Full video investigation:
I visited 5shops / merchants in a row that donโt accept btc or used to accept btc in San Salvador.
๐โโ๏ธ The nike store used to accept. Stopped 6 months ago they said.
๐ฅฉ Lunch steak place had never used it. Called Casa Fuego.
โ๏ธ Coffee vendor in the plaza apparently never accepted it. Looked at me like I had 3 heads when I asked.
๐ฑ Then the superselectos supermarket accepts bitcoin for groceries but not for phone credit so
we had to go to the street dude.
๐ phone credit vendor person never accepted btc.
Fortunately I was with @Napoleon Osorio โa team so they helped me out p2p ๐ค (highly recommend his guys!!)
So there are of course mega bitcoin-y areas across the country..
But Btc Payments adoption is quite hard to follow in #ElSalvador
