Tonight I listened stories of Salvadorians from Berlín, El Salvador. They run businesses, accept bitcoin payments, save in bitcoin, spend in bitcoin locally, buy supplies in bitcoin. They live fully or partially on bitcoin standard.

This is how real adoption looks like. Not SBR, not bitcoin law, not airdropping $30 in bitcoin to people who have no idea about it.

Thanks to circular economy and engaged local community, they went from accepting bitcoin and selling to fiat to understanding low time preference and having bitcoin change their perspective on money. Something that takes most multiple years, they reached in 1-2 years.

Them sharing their stories within local community is the best tool to help other locals understand it better. If you see a change with people you know for years from the same town, you'll get it much easier than listening to foreigner bitcoin tourists, podcasts or reading books.

There‘s a Berlin in El Salvador? Anyways, yeah that’s the way Bitcoin adoption should go. Not only store-of-value but also as a medium of exchange.

Berlin is where it is really at. El Zonte is cool and San Salvador is not really adopting it other than ATMs (which may be going away)

Not been to Berlin but I've heard good things.
