What Bitcoin adoption is ACTUALLY like in El Salvador
Cointelegraph reporter Joseph Hall traveled to El Salvador to find out what it's actually like to pay for goods and services there. Is Bitcoin a viable means of payment in the only country (so far) to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender? Go on a journey spanning cities, beaches, and volcanoes to find out.

Thank you for creating this video and spreading your Bitcoin knowledge 🙌🏽
Very informative video. The problem with the rollout of bitcoin as a national currency in El Salvador is not it’s implementation but the lack of education of how to use it. Time will correct this.
Heartwarming vid Joe! Muy sympatico!! I can’t wait to visit there. The people seem so sweet and friendly with real hope from Pres Bukele!!
Great video!! Thank you for visiting my country and talking to the people about the future of Bitcoin.😊
Thank you for coming to El Salvador to promote one of our official currencies, Bitcoin. Please come back with more knowledge that will help us move quickly in the use and administration of Bitcoin. Blessings.
I'm nearing 3 bitcoins and I'm growing more tired of Europe so el Salvador is on my radar, thanks for sharing

Great and inspiring video!!
Thanks, Great Info!

Awesome video Joe!
Wow! This really touched me. Great video. You can tell this guy is very passionate about Bitcoin, but despite the bias didn't over romanticize things ... and he's doing his part to educate and help. Need more people hitting the streets like this. Makes me want to head down there and do the same.

This is really well made. Imo you're approaching it with a strong personal bias and ignoring a lot of the larger issues, but you still included people taking negatively about it and the no signal thing so I don't think it's intentional.
Really really cool one!

Every time I think these inbred evil central bankers are going down, they rev up the black magic money printer and “whala!” Back in business. It works every time for them without fail. It can be discouraging. Then I see this, and I realize that they’ve lost, and it’s only a matter of time. 🎉😊
Best video, excellent job, amazing how El Salvador transformed ! the people are smiling the president took a chance on Bitcoin and WOW the benefits are rolling in! awesome job capturing all the progress ! thank you

Such a great moment with the hotel clerk accepting 50usd in bitcoin. Her reaction was like mine for the same time 😊
As price goes up they'll like Bitcoin more

Good for people. Bitcoin was created for economic freedom not for governments.
This is amazing. Bitcoin adoption is only starting and El Salvador is leading the way.
Very good video. I think it is great that you are helping people learn how to accept BTC. It might bring in more business in some cases. However, I disagree with any government forcing its citizens to accept a highly speculative asset as payment. We have seen in recent years just how much wealth can be lost by investing in, or running a business on BTC. Only under a dictatorship. I am not against the digitization of the economy - let's get rid of paper and metal money. This does not mean we have to rely on BTC. I do whole-heartedly support what President Bukele has done to take violent criminals off the street and put them in jail where they belong. For that, he deserves to be recognized for saving ES.
If I had your patience, I would attempt to use crypto currencies. Great job educating everyone.

Adoption happens slowly, but it is unstopable at this point.

What app are you using to pay from your phone?
Good, but give it time, Bitcoin is aimed at the younger generation, the older generation will stick with fiat currency and inevitably die with it.
We work for years to get $1 million, while some people I know put thousand of dollars in some meme of coins and they are millionaire
The US or Europe don’t need Bitcoin. The people of El Salvador and similar need Bitcoin. I hope they reap the benefits of such a bold move.
