Me and nostr:npub13vepw9xdhjzhp87lv5h7z2jgzteltmzqe4scjsn9dtwwncz6ekms5p489d first explored El Salvador more than three years ago because of the bitcoin law.
45 memorable days in bitcoin only, without touching dollars or credit cards.
During our trip we immediately saw many wonders, but also many distortions bordering on the dystopian. People's poor bitcoin education, the government's pounding propaganda, the Chivo wallet (a spyware that no so-called Bitcoin president should ever have proposed to his people).
We have always been very critical of top-down adoption. It is no secret.
And at the same time it is undeniable that the Bitcoin Law was a historic event.
For the same reason today seeing the government of El Salvador kneeling before the God Dollar and the oligarchs of the IMF leaves a bitter taste in the mouth.
Today Bitcoin is no longer legal tender in El Salvador, the news is making the rounds around the world, and the regime media are happily feasting on it. This is also a historical event.
Anyone who denies this or is trying to minimize the consequences of this only shows that they are lobotomized by state propaganda.
It is what it is; you cannot sugarcoat it.
Our thoughts go as always to the people of El Salvador, to our many good friends there.
¡Que le vaya bien!
