In this clip from the LeoFinance podcast, Esteban de la Peña talks about the rollout of Bitcoin in El Salvador from the perspective of someone who's on the ground, making it happen.

IBEX is working directly with merchants to facilitate PoS payments over Lightning. Teaching them about how to accept BTC and also about the potential of hodling it in their treasury.

It's fascinating to hear this perspective from someone so deeply involved in the actual adoption of BTC lightning payments.

In this clip, we explore BTC adoption in El Salvador and consider the successes and failures of the rollout.

I am also here, directly in the field of fire, I see the ATM automatic tellers bumping into many people queuing to use them, in fact I have a post in queue about how the implementation is, although there has been a lot of noise due to anti-btc demonstrations, the Project is going from strength to strength, many businesses already accept this currency and the lightning network has helped a lot since transactions are easy and fast, large stores, warehouses, already accept it, starbucks, Siman, select supermarket chains, the largest The country is already accepted, so many people are already immersed in it, let's not say now that we have all received US $ 30.00 in BTC airdrop from the sky, there are many people who have done business with this, buying it at about US $ 20 or US $ 25.00 and pocketing the differential, there are people who want the cash therefore they prefer to sell it even with US $ 10.00 in loss for the change, especially alcoholic people have it. sold quite fast but it is a minority, according to statistics, we are going for the almost 3 million users of the Chivo wallet app so soon we will be bitcoinized, I am promoting hive and splinterland among all those who put themselves in front of me but it is going slowly, I will begin to place posters everywhere to also attract another group that I know that more than someone will come I'm sure.
The gas stations have begun to accept it and the president has offered a significant discount if you pay with BTC in relation to paying with US $, so I think this will become one more incentive for people to use it, let's hope a massive incorporation to this as I have said before, soon there will be 6 million more users to the network in an explosive way that will come to look for games, blogging sites and other ways to benefit from cryptography so well, that's how it goes, by the way I have preferred to hold with This is because, as you know, like our beloved cub finance, it is not a good time to sell, you always have to hold.
Any questions about the implementation to order I am here to answer and I know there will be many, it is fun to be part of the first country to legalize the btc as legal tender, but it is more fun to see the evolution.
Best regard.

he ATM automatic tellers bumping into many people

Hey man! great to read this! I'm very happy to read the news from your neighboring country, Guatemala. I hope we can learn from you and make BTC legal tender some day :)

soon soon for now I think that Guatemala is taking the other route which is to make a cbdc or central bank currency which is also a first step like Chile in the implementation of new payment systems.
Thank you man, greetings my dear neighbor, and anything we can support because here we are already in the fire in the first steps, here there is a company from Guatemala called Tolsen that I understand is implementing this type of payments for your benefit, so that we are providing business and personal advice on taxes and crypto with so much that we have learned here at hive and leo.

I'm still in the opinion that Dash would have beena far superior choice for the job. Thank you for the details.
