I sometimes find it difficult to explain my coworkers about how life was back in El Salvador, so watching your videos has really helped explain it better. I’m so happy someone is finally showing the true beauty of E.S. and that it’s not as bad as other people think it is. Please 🙏🏼keep making more content. May God continue to bless your beautiful Familia.❤️

    You gotta get in touch with Strike to set up a lightning wallet. Think of lightning network wallets as a debit card and on-chain like an armored truck delivery. Strike is interoperable with the dollar, so merchants don't have to worry about volatility or how many zeroes come after the period or on-chain transaction fees.

      Agree, people need a bank account to avoid atm fees. Bank accounts charge you fees if you do not their minimum saving quota. If you do not meet the minimum quota, the bank charges you penalties ( fees again). People in El Salvador need the “ remesas” for daily living expenses. Bitcoin is a catch 22 dilema. It is great for investors though. Buy cheap, let the poor people of El Salvador increase the value,then sell and profit. Capitalism taking advantage of the defenseless.

    I guess many Bitcoins owners are now thinking about spending their next vacation at Salvador's Beaches. =)

      We talk about it constantly to each other, and some of our friends that have already been tell us that the hotels around El Zonte are full of other bitcoiners constantly too. Some are talking about buying property nearby as well.

    So cool to see!! I think ATMs are practical with people that want to convert large sums of money ($200+) into bitcoin inside a wallet that has Lightning technology available. So, ATM->$250->0.005 bitcoin ($240) inside a bitcoin-lightning wallet seems a good strategy to use when in El Salvador in this early days!
    Ps: your kids are so adorable God bless them 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

    • @ThatExpatMom
      @ThatExpatMom  3 года назад +2

      Thank you so much Howard! :) Yes I agree I think ATMS are practical for people who may not have a bank account or are transferring large sums, but it seems electronic transfers are much more economical. We will be trying that in part 2 for sure.

    Great video. I will defenitly watch the Bitcoin development in El Salvador. You need to know why so many people love Bitcoin. There is a limited amount of Bitcoin. There will never exist more than 21 million Bitcoin. The Bitcoin network is decentralized, so no government in the world can controll it or just print more money and devalue the currency. The miners, who are distributed all over the world, secure the network and are making the transaction. The main network is secure but it's slow and has high fees. Thats why you use second layer like the lightning network and strike for smaller transactions. But its still early and a lot of work needs to be done. You also need to know that 1 Bitcoin is 100 million Satoshis worth. Satoshi Nakamoto is the creator of Bitcoin but no one knows his real name. You can be proud that El Salvador is the first country to accept Bitcoin as a currency. This will go in the history books😁.

    El zonte was much sketchier than the first beach. Dang I really hope all this works, the ATM was pretty bad in terms of fees honestly. I feel like this was a bad experience. I have a decent amount of money in Bitcoin and this was very discouraging.

    • @ThatExpatMom
      @ThatExpatMom  3 года назад +1

      I wouldn't be discouraged. This is all soooo new in fact the law doesn't go into place for almost 90 more days. These ATMs have been here since before the bitcoin announcement and we were eager to try them out and see what is available now and document the progress in El Salvador as it happens. Next time we will skip the ATMs and do an electronic transfer I predict more and more if not all places will be accepting bitcoin payment soon as well. This is new but we will all get there together.

    Was just there April 21st to May 6. There’s an atm with low fees pennies right downtown at 7 eleven. By the monument of the divine. McDonald’s accepts Bitcoin right beside the divine monument. Santa Ana has ATMs and a few people explaining it right on site. Keep going and you’ll become much more excited as you discover the power of Bitcoin to take over the failing banking system.

    • @ThatExpatMom

      Yes Glibert many things have changed since this video 😁 this was filmed before the law even went into effect. Many locations now accept bitcoin all over the country, and for those who don't there are chivo atms everywhere 😁 it has become very user friendly if you choose to use bitcoin. I really hope you enjoyed your vacation.

    Also point that like when we start to use the dólar in those times was difficult confusing hard for many people and at the end we learned how to use it propely.Same way will be with Bitcoin is not something to concern about we going to get use to it until time pass by you will see and hoping this bring more prosperity for our people specially the poorest and entired country fingers cross and goverment is right and this can be a success but teaching people very Well about
