The Truth About El Salvador Nobody Told Me

[@CardSharkGermany]

I was in El Salvador last year. I am from Germany, my gf from Colombia. Both speaking spanish. We dived deep in and had a lot of talks as I wanted to know where the country stood back then. Certainly people did not yet realize what Bitcoin brings them. Adoption rate was maybe 10-15% I spoke with a lot of people and told them that if they love Bukele or want to help themselves, to start taking Bitcoin from tourists. I think they got it that this would bring wealth into their own country. I will go back 2026, I loved the freshening happiness of the people who suffered for more than a generation.

You nailed it. My visit there a couple months ago was excellent and just as you said, the West is in decline, and the feeling in the air of El Salvador is that it is on steep upward trajectory. I loved it and and can't wait to go back.

@ true

[@CNDMConnie]

Bukele governs utilizing all the powers that the Constitution bestows on him. That's not a dictatorship, it's a constitutional Republic with checks and balances. Most people use the term "Democracy" without understanding what a true Democracy is. Britain claims to be a Democracy, but there is more tyranny being used against the citizens than in most countries in Latin America. We should ditch the term "Democracy" to describe governments and societies. All countries are supposed to govern according to their constitution and all the constitutions in the world aim for freedoms and a democratic system to choose its leaders -- El Salvador's Constitution is less liberal than the US Constitution. Still, Salvadorans enjoy all the freedoms that their Constitution guarantees to them. !Bukele is NOT and does NOT govern as a dictator. The press and the citizenry are freer there than in any other country in the region. No one gets jailed for criticizing or protesting against the government. The Biden Administration has been the most tyrannical government in recent history and persecuted citizens for disagreeing with its policies.

As a Salvadorean that had to leave a country that was in a war, I appreciate your opinion and yes the good people of El Salvador adore our President because no one ever before has step up to the plate for the population and to free our country from the corrupción, crimes and destrucción that was imposed to us for the past 5 decades of corrupted Governments we have rise from the wounds of hell to what you have experience in so little time and is thanks to a man who love his people and the country he lives in my beautiful el Salvador and the greatest of all after my creator Jesus our beloved @Nayib Bukele our best President thanks to God🙏🏼

[@bluediamond9364]

Thanks for visiting El Salvador and Im sorry you had some misshaps. Im Salvadorean, my family and I live in NJ right across NYC. We were in El Salvador an wentire month last year and a nother month this year. Planning our next trip for 2025. We honestly felt safer in El Salvador than when we go into nyc or go to some towns here in NJ. Despite the fact it has a long way to go Bukele and his government are doing their best to turn the country into a better place to live and raise a family. You can see feel and breath it.

[@docmiguel]

El Salvador is still at the Third World level... A few modern spots, but most of it is still poor. But the mood has changed. And a president who is truly a believer. Good vibes.

[@carlosmar8601]

A country at the third world level, I would say, is more like Cuba, Nicaragua, Haiti, etc. In El Salvador, there are many rich people, upper and middle class people. The country is more of an emerging economy with good infrastructure, shopping centers, lots of food in supermarkets and markets, technology and a LOT of security... insecurity is what classifies a country as third world

[@eelaypaix3839]

Well ... What do you expect after 50 years of corrupt governments, civil wars, gang violence, psychopaths running rampant?.. Lord BUKELE can only do so much 😢.. but he's doing everything humanly possible, with the help of God.. to leave a better country for locals and expats alike

[@user-wx1ii2pd5y]

El Salvador 🇸🇻 has one of the best libraries in the world 7 floors , open 24/7 , Google headquarters, best freeways in Central America, and all the restaurants like Mac Donald’s , Panda express, etc ……. 3rd world? No not even close unless there’s 5th world countries 😂out there.

[@gloriamariadc7757]

Yep, I also enjoyed talking to a local homeless woman.. we had an awesome convo. She was very normal, just homeless.. I think she was happy cuz she felt safe on the street.

[@morisgonzalez8878]

I am Salvadorean living in the USA, one can tell the optimism in the air almost right away , reason being, Bukele's policies freed the people from the nightmarish world the gangs had forced the people to live under for years.

[@auscorpio7]

Just one thing you need to know mate: Although El Salvador it's become pretty safe, don't expect the country to be well developed in infrastructure, tourism, employment, etc.... all what you saw it's been done within the last 3 years. Before 2021 Nayib Bukele had no mandate due to a CORRUPTED CONGRESS that did not want him as President but us, Salvadoreans gave Bukele 100% mandate through a brand new Congress in his favour since 2021 so he can introduce new laws to protect the lives of Salvadoreans, run and develop the country you saw during your visit to El Salvador. We are 50 years behind due to Civil War and Terrorism. El Salvador has only reborn 3 years ago, there's a lot to be done so hopefully, if you ever come back mate, to our country, El Salvador will be more in line with developed countries like where you come from. Rome wasn't built in three days and we're working on that, thanks mate for visiting our country.

[@gloriamariadc7757]

Awesome to see u @ Luke's event in San Blas there. Totally agree re: the rustic-ness of btc beach.. & despite th lack of 'btc adoption' there.. as a Spanish speaker, it was way easier to orange pill the locals 100% compared to normies in the US. I was orange pilling all my drivers. My final driver to the airport ended up being a local/ bitcoiner who had also attended the conf. ;)

For the Newbie if you are actually trading in the crypto space and you don't have a sound mentor. Then you are certainly going to get liquidated in 90% of your trades. Yeah that's sad truth. I remember when i just got into crypto back in 2019 but later in 2020 i ended up selling it because i have lost alot trading all by myself without a guide. Got back into crypto early in 2023 with $100k and I'm up with $732k in a short period of time. Thanks to Kerrie Farrell....

as my business lets me travel around the globe, I often visit USA as well. And sometimes my UBER drivers are from Latin America and also El Salvador. I told them that they should look into Bitcoin to send over the support to their family to either the Chivo Wallet or Blink Wallet, whatever the family uses. They save about 20% in fees, instead of sending through Western Union or alike!

iam glad that you had a some what positve trip to el salvador but dont forget that it is still a third world country going through a very difficult transition the reason why el salvador is the safest country in central and south america is because of president bukele a president that is democratetly elected by 96 percent of the voting population and his willingness to tackle and get rid of gangs that had no respect for human life you make it sound and like is bitcoin the reason no i personally dont like bitcoin but dont compare it to gold . gold is more reliable and tangible not as volatile as bitcoin i know lots of people that lost huge amounts of money in bitcoin there is a reason why most countries are not embracing bitcoin as their monetary sytem iam a salvadorean living in canada and when i visited el salvador last year i was able to walk down town around 2 in the morning with no fear of getting mug here in toronto canada i would not feel as safe crime is getting worst here in canada just like some major cities in the USA. kudos for bukele and with peace and prosperity more tourist like you will come and visit el salvador

Your assumption that Bukele is a dictator is unfounded. His title is ironic. Dictators don't call themselves dictators, just imagine the psychology. To even suggest such a thing is absolutely irresponsible and as a Salvadorian it's insulting.

Also, crime is extremely, very low. we are a nation against abortion, we are pro-life. and only 80% Christians 🇳🇮✝️and very few atheists and agnostics. don't believe the international news paid for by George Soros and international ethyls. that's why we call Bukele the coolest dictator.

North Americans are very hung up on labels and branding President Bukele a “dictator” was probably the silliest latest one so far, but you repeating it when you were here yourself to see the peace and harmony we live in is just plain dumb.
