We know some things for sure: Much of the gang activity, wars, and elections in Central America was/is financed by 3 letter word agencies in the US in the name of nation building or protecting interests. That activity has created untold pain. It’s hard to even imagine how much. I ask myself, “if” someone really cared about making a change (rather than be a puppet like so many others in countries with dictators that serve those interests) it would mean going up against that power. Drastically and dramatically ripping it out. (Otherwise the public and that person would be at the same risk as always and nothing would change) ie - The narrative and story and media including psyops and false flags is all part of the current control structure (this is not a guess for me and I would not be saying it without evidenced personally at the highest level)

What the future brings is unknown, and I can’t promise that he doesn’t take power, and then turn it into further abuses. That being said, I “think” he understands the game at play here and bitcoin as a protocol removes his power by redistributing it to his population. We will see, but that’s why I went to see him.

To try to see for myself - to look deeper in the hopes I could get through the biases on both sides of a complicated transition.

And most people are measuring him through a control structure that has an insane amount of power - and not realizing that they themselves are being manipulated by it.

Hope that helps.

Really appreciate your response Jeff. It reminded me of the deeper meaning of the lyrics to "Life on Mars" by David Bowie.

If my interpretation is correct, essentially, we are in a constant state of watching ourselves fuck up and not understanding the true cause of it all. Then we misunderstanding the way to fix it, and work to make society shift in a way that doesn't actually fix anything and results in the pendulum swinging back the other way.

This capturing of our fear instincts (along with the lack of any free time to see through it all enough to break free, cause we're always working, because our savings and wages constantly lose value) by politics and news, is also influenced in such a way that it's like society's reaction to society's problems is gently steering us across generations towards iceberg after iceburg while we're all gossiping about whatever bullshit someone did on a deck we've probably never even been to.

At the end of the day, we're all just afraid. We're all afraid of our lives being blown up figuratively and/or physically. We're fearful of the future, and distrustful of "others". So we support leaders claiming to be able to fix it and bring back "the good old days" when the underlying problem is the smaller the group of human beings in charge, and the less freedom and time available to the people being ruled, the more corrupt the system and oppressive the system.

Bitcoin fixes everything because fixing the money by taking it out of the control of small groups and into the hands of everyone who values freedom (a lot of people all over the world) we enforce the new system of abundance on everyone whether they understand it or not and like it or not. Ultimately this abundance eliminates the fear of scarcity that's behind almost all undesirable actions towards others, and true world peace is achieved.

No matter what the current news is, this system's days are numbered, and understanding that can at least help people hold out hope that everything will be okay, and sooner than we expect.

Perhaps Bukele is just trying to play the game to protect his people from the rage of the current super power while we all wait for the world to understand the paradigm shift that is now happening. In his position, wouldn't we do the same?

Thanks again. The more I understand, the more I look forward to the future that's fast approaching. 🍻

Bitcoineros del Occidente de El Salvador 7mo ago

Sorry for chiming in, but your inspiring conversation made me think that a substancial factor for hope, here in El Salvador, are the thousands and thousands of teenagers who've been initiated to the Bitcoin mindset through schools' courses, be them the "Mi Primer Bitcoin" ones or the "Node Nation" ones - in this latter case, 15 y.o. students learn how to set up a node & a miner, that they manage themselves collectively (even the school authorities don't have access to the keys 😊).

I mention this because it's probably our most vigorous seed of hope for this "Bitcoin generation" not to "give a fiat" (lol) about whom will be El Salvador's President in 10 or 20 years. They could very well not trust any political party, and verify on a daily basis what's best for them, their families and their communities, in a fundamentally decentralized fashion.
