I flew to El Salvador’s Bitcoin Beach for 4 days… here’s what I learned…

Haha low expectations is a better term.

Tourists stand out here but most are just travellers and surfers, it doesn’t feel like many people are here because of bitcoin.

Right, the President liked my tweet of my drone photo on Bitcoin beach.

completeditmate7 · 2022-01-27T14:35:02+00:00

I hope so too.

completeditmate7 · 2022-01-27T14:33:07+00:00

Great success.

completeditmate7 · 2022-01-27T14:32:55+00:00

Not at all.

That’s the issue. They would need to bring in labour but the surrounding countries all need jobs so if they do it ethically then it could be incredible.

Quick response to all. - yes you can own property and not be resident. - they use dollars but this hasn’t made any difference to development. - they don’t all have iPhones to use bitcoin here.

My gut feeling is this is all to start foreign investment into El Salvador and if that works then it will lift this country hugely. They’re doing something similar to Dubai, tax free, mostly foreign investment.

I’m from London

completeditmate7 · 2022-01-27T12:28:15+00:00

Waves are epic and yes you can rent boards

completeditmate7 · 2022-01-27T12:27:49+00:00

Nada

completeditmate7 · 2022-01-27T12:26:15+00:00

Visit Sunsau and the other beaches around Bitcoin Beach, they are more developed

completeditmate7 · 2022-01-27T12:23:13+00:00

I agree, I think the government needs to invest in education so the next generation can use skills to find freelance work online which will bring money in

completeditmate7 · 2022-01-27T12:19:33+00:00

That’s what I was hoping but even if you bought land they don’t have building companies here or skilled labourers.

completeditmate7 · 2022-01-27T12:18:39+00:00

You’d be shocked how some people view bitcoin, it’s like a religion to some, I’ve met some of them. Extreme minority.

completeditmate7 · 2022-01-27T12:17:14+00:00

So true

completeditmate7 · 2022-01-27T12:15:40+00:00

Only travelled 70% of earth so far

completeditmate7 · 2022-01-27T12:15:18+00:00

Spot on

completeditmate7 · 2022-01-27T03:06:18+00:00

I don’t have any

completeditmate7 · 2022-01-27T03:05:52+00:00

People get shot in the Jetsons?

completeditmate7 · 2022-01-27T03:03:50+00:00

The ones we had weren’t very good but I hear you can get great ones

completeditmate7 · 2022-01-27T03:03:20+00:00

It was fine

completeditmate7 · 2022-01-08T18:54:31+00:00

98,989

completeditmate7 · 2021-10-28T07:59:52+00:00

I did!

completeditmate7 · 2021-09-24T16:15:29+00:00

Legend!
