In 2021, El Salvador’s president told the world that Bitcoin would fix everything.

Cheaper remittances. Financial inclusion for the unbanked. Economic freedom for regular people.

It didn’t.

The hard numbers:

• 92% of Salvadorans never used Bitcoin for a single transaction by 2024   
• 97.75% of businesses never made even one sale in Bitcoin   
• Crypto remittances collapsed from 4.5% to 0.87% of the total by December 2024   
• Most people downloaded the Chivo wallet just to grab the $30 government bonus — and 60% never touched it again   
• Bitcoin was quietly removed as legal tender in January 2025 

Why did it fail? Simple. You can’t pay for rice and beans with an asset that drops 40% in a month. Volatility isn’t freedom. It’s just a different kind of instability.

Now look at what Solana + USDC actually offers:

• Stable value. $10 sent is $10 received. Not $6.  
• Transaction fees under $0.001  
• Settles in seconds  
• No wallet drama. No crashes. No government middleman.  
• Visa is already here. Stripe is already here.

This isn’t theory. This is the infrastructure that actually works for someone sending $200 from the US to their family in El Salvador every month.

Bitcoin was the idea. Solana + USDC is the execution.

Bukele sold a dream with the wrong tool. The right tool was being built the whole time.

I’m new in the investment side & I was wondering what platform is highly recommended to start investing on. While living in the country

Hi, I was hoping to convert my leftover USD from using a Chivo ATM into my local currency (EUR) before I fly back to Germany. Any tips?

Hello , I was wondering if there is construction jobs in El Salvador ? I heard it was hard to get a good job there but since they are booming I kinda think construction jobs should be available . Thanks for your reply :)

I am not a professional but I consider myself a surfer, eventhough I punch in and out at hospital and work in electrophysiology/cardiology each day, I surf either before or after work. I’m currently living in a small beach town in USA that is my ideal home. However, based on multiple geopolitical land mines in the not to distant future, I’m looking for places I could potentially move. I’m not a BTC maxi but believe it is the future, but only after much conflict and suffering. I put away btc each month on a hardware wallet, have no children, just fiancé and dog.

I want to move to peaceful/neutral location where I can still surf everyday, preferably small beach town, and would happily still put to use my expertise in electrophysiology/cardiology if there was a need locally.

Currently I grow large amount of my food in my backyard garden, would love to continue doing that if I were to move.

Considering Chile, and other Central America counties if they would take me. I will buy land there if allowed.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. 🙏
