I appreciate you sharing. Your journey is important and an area that needs improvement for Bitcoin to help at the local level.

Pulling back a bit, you mention multiple times about the peso losing value. That is the root of the problem. And that is a main problem Bitcoin is aiming to fix. The toolchains are focusing on getting the base of our economies switched to hard money, so the pesos of the world don’t inflate away their value.

You are correct, though, that the user experience with Lightning is still difficult, especially running it yourself. All of these things can be true at once.

I am curious about something. It sounds like there aren’t many ways to convert in and out of Bitcoin locally, except through shady people. Do you understand why? Are local laws or organizations making that so? If you’re not a shady person, maybe consider becoming that BTC conversion solution for others.
