When I was little my grandma told me how she used to make 100 colones a month. Which seemed insane to me since then 100 colones would only get me a bag of chips or a small juice.

I used to joke about traveling back in time with a 10000 colones bill and be super rich. My grandma used to think it was funny and also cool if we could do that.

What we did not understand then was that those 10000 colones were worthless and the problem was that our currency was so inflated life was becoming impossible.

Now a days I can’t but anything with 100 colones, not even a bus fair or parking is that little. Our currency is worthless and if you mention #Bitcoin in a social setting in Costa Rica you are either insane or a scammer.
