We visited El Salvador and tried to o pay for everything using only Bitcoin. We failed. Even though El Salvador legalized Bitcoin as tender, it isn't widely adopted by the population despite the efforts of the government. We also uncover how the government behind this Bitcoin initiative is rising to become an authoritarian and potentially Latin America's next dictatorship.

The media are ALL own by the oppossition, El Faro, Gato Encerrado are own by FMLN party members, "El Diario de Hoy", "La Prensa Gráfica" are own by ARENA party members. Bukele doesn't own even one outlet, why? He doesn't need it, he uses social media. Bukele has 0 media outlets, the opposition owns 100% of media, that's why RUclipsrs are so important to us. "El Filtro" is joined organization of all those ARENA-FMLN news outlets to critize RUclipsr attacking them because RUclipsRS ARE OUR INDEPENDENT OUTLETS. Where did you get your misinformation from? Of course, from El Faro, they are FMLN news outlets, they represent the narrative pro-gangsters who represent 3% of the population.
hey man its funny how you use other video clips on yours showcasing them as tourists like trying yourself to distance from them but you are no jouralist you are youtuber and also a tourist and have no investigative journalistic skills. and you had many wrong details, how you described LN and how can you speculate if btc has been label legal tender by the gov i know well it works and have used the chivo wallet. lol the scam example like equifax exposing SSN of many us citizen xD what did the US do? how did it solve it? or like Costa rica getting hacked by Conti what did the Costarican gov do to improve and better security, lots of citizens data got leaked... funny how you did not mention how the maras had deals with the previous govs of the FMLN and ARENA this is documented and not a conspiracy.
According to the latest data, more than 60% of the population downloaded the Chivo wallet - and 70% of the unbanked population were onboarded. Despite these impressive numbers, just 40% of users continued using the wallet after spending their $30 bonus.
NOW that BITCOIN is at ALL TIME HIGHS, Nobody is talking about Bukele's wise decision to make profits for his country. They are up, 50%,, a bank will pay you 3 to 4.5% for a C.D., BTC for El Salvador; more than 16% per year,and if they bought the dip, which may well be, assuming they had DCA at all time lows, their yearly returns were even higher. Smart country.
This ☝
BTC is a time chain.....Bukele is a visionar
It’s not for us to decide what is best for El Salvador. The Salvadorians have made that choice clearly (over 90%) prefer the current situation to the living hell they had under the gang rule.
This video is not advocating one way or another, this is just investigative reporting!
And a very good one at that!!!
@@oswaldf328 .... nope ....it was advocating ..... because there are a lot of inaccuracies .... we just went there and this "report" is so off !!! .... it sounds communist-skewed (there are a lot of Costa Ricans turning to communism)
@@jc6781 I totally agree. It's for Salvadorians to determine what's the best direction for their country. The world does NOT have to live there. If the majority of Salvadorians are content w/Bukele leadership, that's all that matters. It was the world who armed & financed their civil war. Salvadorians were the pawns in a world's geo-political dispute. A dispute they shed blood for but gain nothing. It's time for the world to be quiet & let them forge their own destiny. Even if it is a destiny & direction we DON'T agree with. I am saying this as an American. After all, is that not what true Americanism is - self-determination.
@jc6781 I totally 👍 agree... this report is garbage... this guy is so biased it's ridiculous.
@@oswaldf328inaccurate
As a salvadoran i can tell you that not everything you said is true. Compare Bukele's government to Nicaragua and other countries is a big mistake. The people of El salvafor has given Bukele's government the power to do what it is best for us. If Bukele keeps doing things to benefit his people, we will continue to vote for him.
This reporter's a typical millennial VICE wannabe. Even his mannerisms are so cringe lmao
I agree, it seems unfair to suggest there will be a dictatorship soon. El Salvador is democratic and hasn't started to show signs of changing. The human rights issue is a tough situation but it seemed very necessary to get the country on track. I hope the best for El Salvadores future and I hope to start a tech company there as well where there are no taxes.
Comparing Bukele to leftist dictatorships is the height of craziness @@FizzBuzz-ce9wz
Im very excited for your people. Im American and have been trying to keep a close eye on how he continues to run El Salvador. With the fiat Dollar going bust .📉 if history repeats there will be a new form of currency with Bitcoin and El Salvador has a high risk high reward thing going on rn. Good luck 👍🏼
That’s the problem y’all will give him too much power and he’ll take advantage idk how you guys are so blind to it in a couple of years everyone will laugh at you guys when he’s a full blown dictator
Salvadoran here, I'm extremely happy that you had the opportunity to go and visit!! El Salvador has changed for the better. The country is not where it wants to be, but it is heading into the right direction. The country is a lot safer than what it used to be. Change takes time, but change is taking place slowly! About BTC, seed has been planted. In my opinion future generations will evolve and get to use it more. El Salvador still is a cash based society. Great unbiased journalism!!! Saludos
Are you sure you are not actually Californian
@@FlyingNazgul-wm1dv hell no!!
@@gmo882 hablás el inglés muy bien hasta parecés un verdadero gringo diciendo "Salvadoran" jajjaja
@@FlyingNazgul-wm1dv salvadoran , salvadorian, salvadorean lo mismo si o si? yo siempre uso "salvadoran" saludos
I am a Californian but I will say this, in time you will not use the US dollar forever as it is debt based, it loses its value as it inflates as the US government debt keeps getting bigger with no end in sight as they lifted the debt ceiling recently and indefinitely. It will lose its place as a reserve currency in the future.
This is great journalism. The news companies ought to take notes from you. I honestly can't remember the last time I saw such a balanced assessment of any issue in today's news. Congratulations to the whole Slidebean team.
Thanks. We tried. 😌🫶🏽

Well said, I thought this channel was random tech shit but you put it well. This is real journalism.
Agreed with this comment! Well balanced unbiased assessment
let me guess, its unbiased bc it perpetrates a view about a country that agrees with u and ur political beliefs, but I ll first give it a watch Iam at 3 min mark and I ve been subbed to slide for a while so I know they are cool guys
Facts, the way it’s presented you can put yourself on a side of in set perspective. To then after be given more information countering that same argument so you’re like yea I agree too. It covers all sides seems as neutral as possible. Surprising given the times we are in. 👍🏾 bien echo
El Salvador is no danger anymore, now is the most safe country
It has been a while since the last time a Slidebean video appeared on my YT home page. I'm glad to see the project's growth and this video's quality, but mostly, the approach to a sensitive topic such as this one, a close family member is from there, and my family is planning a trip there, so watching this video in just this right moment, is relevant for me.
I'm glad the algorithm showed us again!😅We did our best to showcase the reality of the country in a respectful way. I really hope you enjoy your trip, it is truly a beautiful destination. Thank you for your comment 🫶

He didn’t describe the lighting network correctly. It’s not a coin, it’s a payment network and it’s what the future global financial system will operate on. Lighting is a layer two scaling solution with BTC being the base layer.
Take the content of this video grain of salt.
Great video but with all due respect, there are a couple of things I'd like to disagree with. It is easy for you to criticize President Bukele's and his country's response to their gang epidemic. You were born/raised in relatively peaceful, law abiding countries. The US and Costa Rica have not had to endure the hardships of El Salvador. Both countries have enjoyed relative peace, while Salvadorans until recently have had to endure decades of robberies, extortion, kidnapping and murder. These people have been through living hell. Their knee jerk reaction to lock up basically 1% of their population, (criminals) now that they have the upper hand, many would say is totally justifiable. El Salvador has a free press and opposing political parties are free to criticize their president's actions. There is nothing to indicate that journalists or the opposition have been silenced or threatened with imprisonment or that they one day will. The president of El Salvador enjoys a 90% approval ratings because a traumatized nation is grateful that they are finally rid of these monsters and can breath a sigh of relief. Without peace and security, my friend, nothing else matters. It is as simple as that. If that's a dictatorship, I'll take some of that. Viva senor Bukele y que Dios le protega y bendiga, siempre!
The timeline part shot on the table is absolutely stunning! Incredible camera work, presentation & animation. A joy to watch!
Thanks! Getting out the studio always complicates production, but glad it paid off.

@@slidebean oh man I can only imagine how much effort and skill went into that finished product. I’m truly honoured to be able to watch such a beautiful visual for free, all while learning something and been entertained! RUclips is an incredible and valuable platform and resource. Thank you so much for sharing you work, please send my love to the team!
Really appreciate the reply, that is real kind of you to take the time to do that. Hope you have a blessed month & I look forward to your next project:)
Yeah, wait until he documents how terrible the brexit was a how its headed to become a dictatorship!😂
Honestly, as a Salvadoran, I have always seen myself close to CR and I consider you my CA brothers (it is sad that apparently the perception is not mutual for some of you who see yourselves as a green island). At the moment, we Salvadorans are people who have suffered a lot, with the hope that for the first time we are on the right path. We have not lost democracy, and we feel that we have won the freedom that the gangs had taken from us. Many organizations (political parties, journalists, businesses, etc.) lost the power they had, the power to decide who lived or who made money or who can be happy. Therefore the criticism is understood, but I think time will have the last word (we do not want to see ourselves subjugated again by those who criticize the current government). For now, I'm just happy you came, and I hope you come back soon. You are always welcome.
Don't be surprised if El Salvador becomes more prosperous than Costa Rica in about 10-15 years from now if Bukele gets reelected as president in 2024. As of 2023, El Salvador has the lowest homicide rates in the western hemisphere. Who saw that coming? I sure didn't.
For a bitcoin explainer video, I’m surprised how inaccurately the lightning network is characterized here. Lightning is not a separate cryptocurrency and you can transfer BTC directly to a lightning wallet without converting to a different currency.
So far, it is one of the best documentaries I've seen on RUclips, and I've watched plenty :)) The historical background added a lot more value to the tech stuff you were discussing. I found your channel last week and have already watched most of your videos. Keep up the good work! Well done, and many thanks.
Such a great documentary! You haven't left anything missing! It closed amazing!! Such a great job!

I disagree that people do not use bitcoin because of the complexity, Africa has also 70% unbanked people and yet mobile money has taken over where the same unbanked people use mobile money with ease. I do believe trust would play a role for sure.
Education and trust.
This is a good content. Thank you guys.
Amazing piece. Thank you
This right here was a top notch video. The quality was great. I honestly wonder and think about El Salvador and their experiment with Bitcoin, their governmental and legal changes, and a lot of what you addressed. I've been curious how something like Bitcoin could work for 95% of the people in such a country, when even in Canada and the United States, it feels like it would take a lot of infrastructure to get the nations fully on board to such a thing.
Keep up the amazing work. Thank you for what you do. I only discovered you a couple months ago but quickly blazed through your catelog of work. It does seem like this longer storytelling format is perfect for your style and gives more room to give context, which is always critical and often the first thing people cut out.
Thanks again!
this is hardly journalism .... it's very inaccurate ! this guy strikes me as part of a growing number of communists in Costa Rica (we met plenty in CR). Although CR was always one of the best for safety, that is quickly changing .... for the first time they told us: "don't go to such a place at night" ..... maybe CR could learn some pointers from ES
A very smart, well argued video. Well done to you and the whole team.
Appreciate the history telling. Every country has to start the clean-up somewhere. Every country steps on its society democracy, look at the US now. There will be ups and downs, and the learning process with its society won't happen overnight. Time will tell, and let's pray for its society to be successful in its journey for a better future.

You've got to be kidding, this was wildly biased against bitcoin. And showed this guy doesn't have a good knowledge for it as well. I'm mean for instance he says he didn't know how to use the lightening network! And didn't figure that out before he went there. Wow, very dumb.

The thumbnail of bloodstains and Bukele's devil eyes looks completely unbiased 😂😂
Great stuff. Love these vids where you go out to a different country, I'm sure it costs a fortune in both time and currency but it makes for excellent content. Consider going to Rwanda to check out their budding tech scene, it mirrors a lot of the themes you covered in this video and its one of the safest countries in Africa (safer than America), and also has a dictatorial state leader who is responsible for most of the change.
Noted! Thanks for the support 😉

Thank you, this was interesting and informative. Ive heard so much about El Salvador and its use of BTC as a currency and was interested in how it was going.
Oh, don't worry. This guy is so shortsighted that he doest realize that digital currency is the future which everyone will have to adopt sooner or later. El Salvador is just ahead of the game thanks to the futuristic and forward thinking president we have. Salvadorans reacted exactly like this when the country switched to dollars. 😂

This is such a well made piece, loved the attention to history, seeing the people’s perspectives, and the phenomenal videography. The thing about journalists being harassed really feels like what’s going on in my home country of Zimbabwe. I flew in last week to see some family and got pulled aside and questioned about my camera…managed to prove I wasn’t a journalist, but something about that didn’t sit well with me especially considering it’s election season.
Anyway, keep up the good work guys ✨

You did a very good job li bro great info I appreciate it keep up the great job👏
One of the best takes on the situation of El Salvador that I have yet seen. I applaud you and your team, this is what journalism should look like👏👏👏. What's going on in El Salvador has opened up a debate in a lot of Latin American countries, on whether it is worth the risk repeating our history and descending into dictatorships, in order to finally deal with the crippling insecurity, crime, murder and lawlessness that have chronically plagued our nations. This is a discussion that, because of Bukele, I find myself ever more often discussing with my parents, with my friends and with my co-workers. What is more valuable to us? Are we comfortable giving up political and civic rights for the "promise" (because that's all it is, a promise. In El Salvador it may be working now, but who knows 10 years down the road) of more security? Are we really ready to take that gamble again in the hopes this time it will pay off? It is, however you look at it, a really interesting, nuanced and complicated debate, that I feel you have captured really well in this piece.

I get the same impression that some Costa Ricans and other nations are the critics who are jealous that El Salvador is rapidly advancing globally and eventually be over passing most of latin america politically and economically!

An American has been living here for more than a year. He is inaccurate.
Props on calling out the government for "pick and choosing" what the international community sees.
Lol. How about what the international community and NGO picked and choose when my people were slaughtered and now that we are improving they crawl out of the sewers like rats to defend terrorists.
Stfu, you don't know what's even going on in the country. This guy literally "pick and choose" what to show to the world and you fell for this crap.

The media are ALL own by the opossition, El Faro, Gato Encerrado are own by FMLN party members, "El Diario de Hoy", "La Prensa Gráfica" are own by ARENA party members. Bukele doesn't own even one outlet, why? He doesn't need it, he uses social media. Bukele has 0 media outlets, the opposition own 100% of media, that's why RUclipsrs are so important to us. "El Filtro" is joined organization of all those ARENA-FMLN news outlets to critize RUclipsr attacking them because RUclipsRS ARE OUR INDEPENDENT OUTLETS. Where did you get your misinformation from? Of course, from El Faro, they are FMLN news outlet, they represent the narrative pro-gangsters who represent 3% of the population.
@@slidebean give more power to locals❤
Puerto Rico , beautiful People.
This was a lot of work to put together. Thanks.
Wow. Well, this was a different -- and unexpected -- kind of video from Slidebean.
Thoughts?
Y’all are criminally underrated and deserve WAY more views then you have. Amazing video!
POV waiting for the algorithm to agree.

I wish I could like this video twice. Very good stuff man
🫶🏽 Thanks!
What’s your HDR workflow? Is it just an iPhone?
- We shoot HDR on Sony full frame cameras (PP10), which encodes in HLG2020.
- Edit in FCPx on a wide gamut project. The newest FCPx lets you do this in non-HDR monitors (not all of our MacBooks are HDR yet).
- Non-HDR footage like B-Roll needs to brightened a bit.
- Export in HEVC 10-Bit.
- Upload to YT. They do the SDR version automatically.

Absolutely mesmerizing video. tbh, I found the section on Bukele more interesting than the portion on bitcoin.
We did too- but it was so far out of the scope of our channel,- we needed another 'excuse' to tell that story.

An interesting part about Bitcoin and USD being their currency is the government as effectively seceded its ability to manipulate currency and strongly regulate a banking sector, which are some of the primary tools authoritarian regiems use to control its people. I'm really curious what the future holds and how Bukale will be judgef in 5 and 10 years.
Really great content. Thanks! Superb job. ❤
Caya, tienes un nuevo fan en México... esto es un trabajo excepcional, saludos 8)
You guys did a great job! Thanks for this
I'm from El Salvador and I feel like I'm on an island of peace among so much death. Costa Rica, for example, is today the third most violent country in Central America, only surpassed by Honduras and Guatemala.
El Salvador is the safest country in Latin America, I would never go to a violent country like Costa Rica. 🚨
Centro América solo somos cinco países hombre no andes hablando mal de los ticos
@@FlyingNazgul-wm1dv Del 1 de enero al 12 de junio Costa Rica ha llegado a los 400 homicidios en lo que va del 2023.
Según los analistas el año 2023 lo podría cerrar entre 800 y 900 crímenes.
Para un país de 5 millones de personas esas cifras lo pondrían con 17 homicidios con cada 100 mil habitantes, estaría en el top 10 de países más violentos en América Latina, si quieres también busco datos a nivel mundial, así le vamos sumando más países si no te gusta que se límite a Latinoamérica, pero ten en cuenta que latinoamericana tiene los países más violentos del mundo que no están en guerra. 👋🏼 Saludos.
You forgot a BIG asterisk: **since the last period**. Unfortunately we will only be able to see the real results once Bukele's period ends (unless hi wants to ignore the constitution and illegally run for president again)... Because for the last 20 years, el Salvador has been almost always the most violent country in the American continent
@@FlyingNazgul-wm1dv It's seven countries actually.
Correction- El Salvador has the lowest homicide rates in the western hemisphere as of 2023. It has lower homicide rates than USA and even Canadas.
Beautiful video, not biased that shows the real side of it. I really loved it when you said we need a big table and your printed timeline. Creative! Keep up the good work.
Nice video. I can see your point. I'm from El Salvador I left in 1987 and returned now that the government has got their act together. The difference is night and day from what the 1980s was like talking politics. You mention that other dictatorship started the same way but only time will tell. Let's hope for the best. Thank you
Super interesting look into the country.
EL SALVADOR has a lot of potential. It could become the next Singapore for Latin America, a corporate capital for Latin America. It is a must that Nayib Bukele has to be re-elected for him to continue his plans for El Salvador.
Great vid
Your storytelling highlights a struggle with values you guys have, we can feel it.
Could you suggest practical changes the Salvadorian government could implement to improve outcomes while ensuring human rights? I feel like solutions are note explored enough and it make this video a quite dramatic.

What human rights? We the salvadorans want the death penalty for these terrorists, but that's the one thing the government won't listen to while doing everything else that we asked them to do. They do not deserve an ounce of sympathy.
I think you are referring to the human rights of the honest Salvadoran people....right???
Fantastic job all around, you earned a new subscriber for life!
🫶🏽👴🏽
Great video
Well done! Informative and entertaining.
I think it's like if you traveled to England in like 1899 and interviewed a bunch of people on the new automobiles, 90% of the people would be saying "they don"t work, they catch on fire, they breakdown, we don't understand where the oil goes, they get stuck in the mud, we are used to our horse n carts" etc... infrastructure for massive new technologies takes time man
The future gets more interesting cada dia… Great work on this story.
