They use American dollars there.

Funny story, so I rented a car and drove to the Santa Ana Volcano area and decided to stop at this little restaurant on a cliff overlooking Coatepeque lake (which is fucking amazing btw) when I went to pay, all I had was a credit card and they didn’t accept cards. I was about to leave, and the teenager working in the kitchen stopped me said he could accept bitcoin i used it.

After that, I asked everyone if i could pay with bitcoin and the funny part is that EVERYONE said no. Unless I insisted Lol.

Nobody really uses or understands it.

El Zonte is different. There’s bitcoin signs everywhere and about half of the places I asked accepted it.

I became pretty good friends with this one Airbnb hosts and he kept saying he lost a bunch of money so he didn’t do it anymore.

I asked him when he bought some and he said it was like 55k…

I was perplexed and said why did you sell it, its over 110k???

He didn’t understand.

Its so weird how older people are so oblivious to the concept of btc. Nice guy but just oblivious.

Anyway, bring cash and before you pay in btc, make sure they have a lightning wallet.

It gets old trying to pay $4-5 on chain and upping the fees to speed it up.
