    I live in Berlin, Usulutan, and 95% of my monthly spending is bitcoin, not cash. Also, don't use Chivo. it sucks as any govt wallet would. Use Blink or Phoenix lightning wallets.

We'll love to see more documentaries like this one and I bet all the comedians in ESA will appreciate all the support. As Salvadoreans, we are funny and happy people, but the support and spaces for comedy are still hard to find... Anyway, thanks for answering my comment, Turner. Great success and good luck to you both man! 🙌 👏

    Many peps in El Salvador are uneducated with the bit coin currency. Also, this has been a 3rd word country. I personally think it's going to take a very long time to make use of it. The country has done a lot of progress in 5 years but not enough. Let's keep hope alive. 🙏🏼

    I can tell this video is old because BTC is worth more now than when the government of El Salvador gave those $30 to their citizens.
    If you don't sell your BTC, you don't lose or win anything, I just like BTC for the nature of it.

    Ok I liked the fun and I love you guys. But to expect people to accept bitcoin for a coffe or for an icecream is too much, it’s like wanting to pay a coffee with a little bit of gold or silver. It takes too much time and effort to exchange it. It’s nicer and kinder to pay using dollars. Thank you, love you all.

    • @TurnerSparks
      @TurnerSparks  2 месяца назад

      Ahhh ok fair point. We honestly didn’t go down there with any expectations. The original intent was to get bitcoin right away from the ATM and then use it everywhere as 60 Minutes, Yahoo News and the government said we could. Then upon arrival it all went sideways pretty quickly and we had to chance the whole concept of the episode on the fly.

    The world is constantly evolving. Fiat currency has had an amazing run for humanity but things slipped in 1971 when we were pulled off the gold standard. Now it's just paper. Currency is measured by your time/energy. And they keep debasing it with injecting new paper money and now your time/energy means less and will continue to mean less. I wouldn't consider Bitcoin a currency but an asset. For the first time in world history there's an asset with a fixed supply. Gold, silver, oil, stocks, housing, fiat currency, etc , they can always create more of and devalue it. But there will only be 21 mil BTC. And these citizens hold a piece of the pie. If some of the biggest asset management companies are now in the game, like Blackrock, we know it's game on. HOLD my friends. Do your own research. Bitcoin is monetary freedom that doesn't get held up at borders or be stolen from your hands.

    • @sean13
      @sean13 Месяц назад +1

      One of the few comments about BTC that makes sense. People really have no idea how much BTC is going to appreciate as the asset becomes more coveted and the supply dwindles. It grows on average 100% a year....Save it for 10 years and you'll be amazed !

  • @dunkan42

    The problem is that people take it as a joke to use bitcoin, many out of ignorance and others because they heard bad information. I put some dollars in and they are duplicated. In a bank it would never double in my favor. The problem is that we don't have much $$$$ to buy when the price goes down.
