 It was actually Laura's idea. She mentioned it first, I remember it perfectly. The internet was overflowed of videos of international journalists coming to San Salvador and showing by McDonald's and paying with the Lightning Network or at the Bitcoin Beach paying for a coffee and we were super excited about this. But then we thought, I think this is not enough. You know, San Salvador is the biggest economic center of the country. Nobody is showing us what's happening in the small villages, in the rural markets. Is it possible to pay for three tomatoes at the street markets? Nobody was showing it. Everyone came to the country. Did their 30 seconds video at McDonald's paying their lunch and then flew back to their comfort zone. We wanted to do more. That's where the idea started. It's not easy. It takes a little preparation. You just find 20, 30, 40 possible hotels. You just call them all asking in advance, hey, do you have a room available? B, do you accept Bitcoins? I have a podcast in Italy that is called Bitcoin Italia Podcast and we asked some of our listeners to help us with the expenses and we had one very generous patron, Marcello, my good friend. So our budget was 0.05 BTC. Back in 2013, I started to live and work in the United States, in the cannabis industry, learning how to do legal pot and I was getting paid in dollars, cash. And then I wanted to go and travel in South America and I didn't want to live in Mexico carrying 20,000 bucks cash. So I went first to Western New York to ask them if it was possible to send this money back to Italy and I was shocked when I learned that they wanted 20% commission. So I said, let's see if there is an alternative way I can do that. I googled and this magic word appeared. I was a graphic designer. I started working for a blockchain company in Hong Kong but I was working from Italy and they were just sending my salary in Bitcoin because it was the easiest way. Then of course I got into it. I was a fan of his podcast actually. Let me mention one thing very important. This country is unbelievable. Everyone has a smartphone. You can buy a cheap Chinese smartphone in the market for $20. So it's crazy cheap. And the connection here is huge. We had LTE connection in the deepest jungle. So this is the perfect country to play the Bitcoin experiment. So sometimes you ask a small rusty restaurant in a corner of a street guys do you accept Bitcoin and you expect nothing out of them and instead then losing a client is going to say, let's do it. Most of the time he just hands you the phone. You do it yourself because I have no clue how this works. Shiva wallet, it doesn't work well, very buggy but at the same time a lot of people has it in their pocket. And that's huge already. We are talking about a totally cash based society. Nobody here accepts credit cards. 99% of the trades are cash based. On the blog we write that it's not us driving, it's Satoshi that is driving. I badly wanted to see the Maya ruin in Tatsumal. It's a fantastic heritage and for some reason I would love to ask President Bukele you cannot pay museums with Bitcoin. It's unbelievable. So we couldn't see the ruins and it's still here. Sometimes we ended up in the most crazy places just because we were scouting for places that accepted Bitcoin. There is this huge volcano. It's a non active volcano but still underneath the crust you have magma and there is this huge deposit of water that is constantly boiling by the magma and they use this hot steam to power the electricity generator. So it's completely renewable. It's a huge gorgeous machine and they are planning to use all the energy they are producing to mine Bitcoin because they actually produce surplus of energy in this country. We are working on a book based on this experience. It's not going to be really a travel guide because it's going to be probably outdated in three weeks. So we're going to write down a list of all the places we have been on our journey that they do accept Bitcoin. So who wants to follow our footsteps? Is going to have a scrapbook or a place where to start from? There's a very important point. Guys, come to El Salvador. Spend your Bitcoin here because by spending your Bitcoin you teach people. The more they transact the more they learn. The more they learn and the more they're going to get it.
