1265 sats \ 6 replies \ @MrM 21 Aug 2023 freebie \ on: Anyone from EL SALVADOR here? bitcoin
I don't know much about the updated numbers but sadly we don't have the discount for fuel anymore and even if they did they only accept chivo dollars so you cant just roll up at a gas station as a "gringo" with an "external wallet" and pay with sats
Chivo has great benefits but fatal flaws, say you go to a business and they are using chivo on mobile you can only receive dollars with no options to convert, if its desktop Chivo you need to teach the person how to use it but you have all 3 options dollars, onchain, lightning and you can convert same goes if you go to the Pupusa Lady and she has a personal account
as for remittances the normies still line up at the western union, some on forgot to tell them 1 btc=1 btc Im speeking about my experiance here on the east side of the country the forgotten asshole of this country, I know that adoption on the west side is greater but I still manage to live 100% off of bitcoin, I made my own little circular economy here in my village pupusas, gas, convince store a Lady at el Mercado who sells fruits and vegetables, all my bills are paid with sats everything im so deep in the bitcoin standard that even @DarthCoin would stand in aw.
Please explain to people here what are "chivo dollars" 😂😂😂😂

Thanks for the reply...
Do you think it's possible do something else to improve? Do you think people believe it's just unpractical?

Education is badly needed here mi primer bitcoin is doing an OK job but the government need to educate the people, my people need to be told what to do, most will not try to figure it out by them selves i don't think that now is the right time for the goverment to shove it down the peoples mouths perhaps after the 24 election and a nice bull run the people will be more reseptive, most still think its speculative asset but I think a bitcoin educational channel on TV would be the best thing

They need one with Saifedean Ammous and Giacomo Zucco. Just 1h/day is enough, simple things
