What’s going on in El Salvador today? Understanding the history of El Salvador and the future of bitcoin as the country blazes a trail towards innovation. A conversation with Gerson Martinez.

What does it mean to be a son or daughter of El Salvador in this day and age?

 

How has the country’s past shaped Salvadorians' upbringing and their impressions of the current political climate under President Bukele?

 

And, what is the hope for what’s next in this burgeoning state as bitcoin has become legal tender, and new political systems begin to flourish? 

 

Welcome to episode 2 of Moneydelics! In this episode, I’m speaking with Gerson Martinez, son of Salvadoran immigrants to the United States, bitcoin miner, and overall devotee of the bitcoin ecosystem.

 

In our conversation we grapple with El Salvador’s past with multinational interests like United Fruit Company, the effects of the Civil War, and its present state at the forefront of utilizing innovative and unorthodox measures that illuminate it as a beacon of hope.

 

This account of past and present El Salvador is one you may not have heard before. It provides context to its history and to the explosion of forward-thinking momentum the country is currently experiencing. 

 

It’s an incredibly exciting time to be in this beautiful country!

Keep seeking the truth,

 

Francesco
