The Truth Behind Cuba's Bitcoin Revolution | What it Really Looks Like

[@cointelegraph]

Thanks for watching❣ Our friends from Cuba will be watching this video. Let us know what you thought about the video in the comments!

[@jimjones3482]

More Bitcoin content please! I had no idea about lightning network. It's so cool.

[@teru797]

hey what app/wallets are they using?

[@financialconspirator3080]

Cuba is fucked because of capitalist embargoes suffocating the country not communism

[@cryptoronindude]

I always said from the start of finding Bitcoin that Cuba is the perfect place for Bitcoin to be what sets them free. I've been talking to my family and friends in Cuba since 2015 about Bitcoin, some have adopted it, some just ignore it.

[@JoeNakamoto]

Slowly but surely-maybe share this video with them?

[@cryptojoecoin5480]

Good for you! Keep going. It will take all of us preaching Bitcoin to pull this off. The fiat black magic spell has everyone hypnotized.

[@towncenter7602]

How do you get freedom in communism.? Imaginary digits?

[@cryptojoecoin5480]

@@towncenter7602 So, what fake fiat are you using for commerce now? What toilet paper are the people of Cuba using now? Fiat monetary policy is to print ad infinum, give it to their buddies to buy all real assets, and give the general populace inflation. Bitcoin monetary policy is static. It never changes. Fixed supply, halving every 4 years, trustless, permissionless. Your statement shows your ignorance of how Cuba got this way in the first place. 🤡

[@VivianaDíaz-s1m]

Thank you Joe and Paco for your work, we were blessed for being able to receive you in Cuba and you have friends already for the next time you come! Such great people and filled with love and kindness.

[@JoeNakamoto]

Aww, thank you 🧡

[@BTCSessions]

Loved all of this. Incredible job, Joe - never stop what you're doing!

[@EmilGhiurau]

The same thing happened in Romania in the 80s-90s, the devaluing of the LEU. There was no BTC like this at that time. Having this now it's a lifeboat. These people are very creative in their exchanges. Props to the Cuban people.

[@dipunm]

I wanted to cry the whole way through... both happy and sad and humbling. ❤

[@blackout3411]

Great work! Loved to see this side of Cuba. Bitcoin is freedom

[@JoeNakamoto]

It certainly is 🧡

[@louisebotos7321]

my question is this , if its not decentralised, it's trackable , owned by Soros ....how is this freedom ?

[@MartijnWismeijer]

Lovely documentary and enjoyed watching. Thank you for sharing!

[@heinzboeke]

Great people and very interesting how Bitcoin is used in Cuba.

[@JoeNakamoto]

Glad you liked it!

[@timjackson6467]

I am so encouraged when I watch videos like this - well done Joe and Paco. There are lots of reasons for BTC but this has to be what was right at the heart of Satoshi when he (they) invented the concept. Lifting the world's poor and oppressed out of poverty and into the hope of progress, be that health, education and freedom of all sorts.

[@fenflaps2805]

Well said

[@marcschneider7338]

Brilliant video Joe. This is what's missing about Bitcoin adaption. These are the people who needs BTC the most, not western guys. Compared to the western mainstream, they do discovery BTC now and won't be late at the party. They really deserve that. Keep going Joe!!

One Love! Always forward, never ever backward!! ☀☀☀ 💚💛❤ 🙏🏿🙏🙏🏼

God Job guys! Cuba is great and tourism over there with Bitcoin makes it even better!

Exactly-one of many ways they can harness Bitcoin 🧡

[@fromagperspective9428]

That was great. The revolution continues with Bitcoin!

[@TechRight]

This was beautiful. Great job guys ❤. Cuban people are awesome!

THIS REPORT MAKES ME cry of joy!!!! i'm so proud of cubans!!! Bitcoin is peace.. Bitcoin is LIFE

[@JoeNakamoto]

That's awesome dude-Bitcoin is peace 🧡

[@funnypeoplefail19]

Bitcoin is peace but what u all forget is the money you earn with btc is the money that someone lost with bitcoin. Is that peace?

[@Johnnodonoughue]

Actually made me cry.

[@jjroman8547]

Interesantísimo video para toda la comunidad hispanohablante.., y el público en general!!!! Fantástico documento de cultura general!!!!🙂👍👍👍 Vamos Satoshi!!!!✊✊✊✊✊✊✊

[@AVeravieff]

Amazing! the whole of the global south needs to see this.

[@BanskoBlog]

Excellent video Joe. Well done. Everyone should watch this. 🙏

[@solcharms6658]

The sad truth is the governments of every nation are getting bigger and bigger every day, controlling more and more aspects of private citizens' daily lives. Many 'western' countries are closer to Cuba than their native populations want to admit. Inflation (coupled with stagnated growth and wages) is present almost everywhere.

[@JoeNakamoto]

Interesting point dude

[@seniorscientist590]

Incredible job--great video! Love the Cuban people!

[@worldfun0909]

Cuba deserves every bit of positive it’s not there fault let’s pray 4 them 🙏 they r very good at finding solutions and mastering the way they solve them. I’m proud to say I’m part 😢Cuban . 🎉😊

[@Levigelio]

Love this please do more!!

[@MrRicey155]

Fantastic insight 🫶 well made documentary.

[@JeThoreau_]

Brilliant work, as always Joe!

[@JoeNakamoto]

Thank you ser! 🧡

[@donttellya6897]

This should see every privileged one who says Bitcoin has no use cases or cannot be used as money. It's just working and it is so much hope for the future thank you to all adopters and supporters🧡

[@preone70]

Absolutely Amazing

[@naomiking2442]

This is the happiest video I've ever seen!❤❤❤❤❤❤ Big Orange future indeed!

[@oliviawoodson1292]

beautiful vid in so many ways -- slightly more effective than any rant by Saylor, Foss, Booth, Breedlove, Gladstein, Pysh, Alden, Lewis, Hayes and even Odell.

[@OsherAstrology]

I enjoyed this video. So important! Thanks 🙏

[@encarsia9]

How awesome was that! Go Bitcoin Cuba!

[@Nickbit2011]

WOW! I absolutely loved this documentary

[@F1END.MEGALITHIC]

Really interesting doc!

[@SeeLasSee]

The most educated people in Cuba often find their way into tourism. Even just for part time. I went there in 2001 and engineers and doctors were very often tour guides.

[@mikejames8031]

This is what concerns me about BTC and the internet. Corrupt Governments can always shut you down!!

[@_Auroswim._.Ocean_Swimming]

Ripple (XRP) can work offline

When you go to Cuba, you realize how smart, educated and well aware of the world are they, we need to offer them respect because of their struggles against the big boys of shit guns coins of the world

The Cuba Bitcoin guys should really sell them -I'll ask them and report back!

[@ArthurCamayd]

Bitcoin is the only real hope of freedom in 70 years for Cuba

[@sindecade2023]

rookie question: which wallets were there in the scene ? (or to ask precisely, which wallets do you prefer to use for SAT payments ? any suggestions ?

[@ogcontraband]

Very inspiring to see the transformational power of crypto. Latin America can really be lifted too I believe

[@roberthodgson3574]

Forget crypto, this is just about Bitcoin.

[@EsotericGold_net]

Let's do this

[@wagnerfontes101]

Fantástico.

This was awesome.

Beautiful to see! 💯🔥

[@canbeyhan7538]

Thank you for the nice reporting. It would be awesome to continue journey with Argentina, Venezuela then fly across the Atlantic to see adoption in Turkey then move to Lebanon.

[@JoeNakamoto]

Yessir! Cape Verde and Peru first :) (That's what I'm currently working on)

[@Netssa1]

Cuba need profound changes 👊🏻🇨🇦

[@AlstarPalmer]

Nice

[@PuertadelSolViracocha]

The transactions of satoshi’s done in this video went through instantaneously and looked like was done on the lightning network due to the lightening bolt symbol shown above the wallet screen used to make their transaction which I wasn’t aware was already available in places like Cuba. Real interesting.

[@JoeNakamoto]

yeah that's correct, well observed!

[@MattThomas-dq6fj]

Is there any monetary value in paying for things with BTC over pesos? I'd imagine if they only buy sats when they get wish to pay for something, they will be getting less sats today than 2 years ago per peso? Is the main value in using bitcoin in cuba, just being opted out of the government controlled economy?

[@GreekLuiss]

Right now it's 400 cuban pesos = 1usd

[@wilbartender4362]

Very nice guys!

[@marcelogenin3016]

i love it.

[@martin3399]

Great video 😁

[@Netssa1]

what aplicación or crypto wallet you are using to transfer quickly bitcoin in Cuba? let me know 👊🏻🇨🇦

[@basedYanx]

They're using the Lightning Network of Bitcoin. Wallets idk, Wallet of Satoshi, Muun, there many

[@JN003]

.....ofc cuba aint perfect, no govt is but they have achieved an awful lot under the embargo....just imagine what country would be without an embargo ! it would be the jewel of the Caribbean

[@albertsmit9741]

top vid

[@falcongold2024]

huge mark up on sats in Cuba. 20 pesos = 389 sats? when $1 in US can get you ~3,670 sats 👀

[@krackherback]

The conversion rate seemed to be 200pesos for $1 at the time of recording?

[@HelenaBoutel]

Where is the markup? Depending on where you buy them?

[@cunning-stunt]

Look at how healthy and fit everyone is though.

[@JoeNakamoto]

healthy fit and hungry 😞

[@cunning-stunt]

@@JoeNakamoto Keeps people working and good for mental health. Cuba seems the exact opposite of the west.

[@JoeNakamoto]

yeah because it is communist. Did you see the parts of the video where Cubans say they don't have enough food, money or opportunities? @@cunning-stunt
