@EconomiaBtc
Please avoid this road ⚠️❌
Unless you are driving a 4X4 😅
You can come by Alegría or Mercedes Umaña
If visiting Berlin. Use Waze. Google maps from the beach is not a good time.
Google takes you on a 4x4 road.
Or if you use Google maps from the beach. Drive to Usulutan city then up the mountain.

There are a lot of families raising their chickens and pigs in their back yard, using them in the pupusas that they sell for bitcoin.
They’re growing the fruits they use in their juices.
They save a portion in Bitcoin and use the rest to buy products from shops with BTC.

CreaDos is a new business in Berlin.
Hip and trendy, this is a first of its kind in the small city.
Even though it has just opened, the owners cannot imagine not accepting bitcoin.
It is now becoming weird for businesses to not accept bitcoin as payment here in Berlin.

Around the clock, the crew is putting a show on.
The vision is unfolding, the purpose clear.
All construction materials paid with bitcoin.
Bitcoiners, Berliners ripping down walls, clearing, revitalising a key building in central Berlin, to serve Berlin through Bitcoin.
Locals interested in english classes will have them available at the center on a weekly basis.
This is to improve both employability for locals and the ability to serve tourists that have begun streaming into Berlín, bitcoin city.
Coming to the center & as you make your way in, you see young students doing homework, others having a coffee and practicing English.
You pay attention and see someone reading a book and being really excited about it. The other casually buying

Life is good
Take a step back, look at what is happening in real time.
We are shifting our base way to value everything around us, person by person.
A lot of the vendors now pay most of their bills with bitcoin.
Sales in BTC are booming in Berlín. Just ask the businesses.

The patron saint festivities have started here in Berlin, Usulután.
Just like other years, the energy is exhilarating.
The only difference, is now there is a significant presence of bitcoin in Berlín.
It’s becoming integrated into society, bit by bit.
Slowly but surely.
We have a portable disco that comes to town every few weekends.
It’s an opportunity for the young (& older) ones to get a dance in and share the evening together.
The organisers of it have decided to take all tickets and drinks with bitcoin.
It’s becoming integrated.
You look away for a moment, and Nicki has already set up our game table to learn about self-custody at the Bitcoin Center, here in Berlín.
Pretty cool, huh?

Our local permaculture expert Dave gave a top class lesson on compositing last night at the weekly bitcoin ‘reunion’.
A group of around 15 of us then sailed down to the local Pupuseria at the Central Park to enjoy the evening discussing and paying in bitcoin.
We are aiming to make the term ‘cash out’ redundant.
Having bitcoin as legal tender here in El Salvador has allowed for bitcoin payment tools to be built quickly & robustly.
Thankfully we have top local companies on the job.
