I heard someone say, “Your thoughts are the code that writes your reality,” and I really like that way of looking at things. Powerful perspective.

I don’t think I could have the experience I’m having in El Salvador anywhere in the US. There’s a sense of adventure, a sense of opportunity, and a feeling that you’re part of something bigger than yourself.

If you’re thinking about moving to El Salvador, one of the easiest ways to get acclimated, avoid frustration, and find your footing is to plug into @BuildInES. It’s the ecosystem I wish I had when I first arrived.
Love this. Meeting people who already live here is the best due diligence before buying anything. Most newcomers I talk to wish they'd rented first and asked neighbors about water, road access and title before falling for a view.

“Follow your dreams” Sure, but put some thought, rationality, and prayer behind it, otherwise could be a bad outcome.

If you can find comfort in uncertainty, these are really exciting times to be living in when looking at it from a civilizational time lens. Embrace the unknown.

Chronic illness brought @uncertainadept to El Salvador because she had no other choice left. Six years later, she calls it home 🇸🇻 After years of declining health, she discovered circadian biology and her life changed completely. It was El Salvador’s natural healing properties, including volcanic soil, equatorial UV index and a consistent light-dark cycle, that helped her get her health back. Watch the full episode to hear more about circadian biology, health sovereignty, and what it means to build a win-win future. 📽️: youtu.be/5WRnu0wiGho

He built a way to pass your Bitcoin to your heirs with zero third parties involved! @ericscalibur saw a gap few Bitcoiners think about - what happens to your stack when you're gone? Most inheritance plans hand control to third parties. He built something different. Encryption locks your seed phrase, and a Deadman Switch monitors that you're still active. Miss your check-ins long enough, and it fires one last email to your beneficiary with everything they need. No one else involved. He calls it setting up your last Bitcoin transaction. And in many ways, your most important one. 🙌🏼 📽️: youtu.be/ZTSMEDIXe5A

What do you think contributed the most to Fiat society? The death of God? The death of Money?

Enjoy the full interview: youtube.com/watch?v=_JkOR7RO… "When you get really smart, forward thinking, independent minds together looking at problems to solve, and you put them together to collaborate, amazing things can happen."

"The magnitude of change happening in such a short amount of time is absolutely amazing."

My interview with @BuildInES founder @sovmindset Michael Ruiz at last year's @btchistoricosv is now on the new Bitcoin Country Podcast channel: youtube.com/watch?v=_JkOR7RO… At the National Palace, Michael and I discussed: - why El Salvador operates like a "startup country" that actually means business - how Bitcoin is becoming a way of life in El Salvador, and why it might be the first nation out of the fiat dark age - his impressions of Bitcoin Histórico at the National Palace - Build In El Salvador and the entrepreneurial culture in El Salvador youtube.com/watch?v=_JkOR7RO… Round 2 of Bitcoin Histórico will be this November 11-12 during Freedom Month in El Salvador.

If there’s one thing that distinguishes being in El Salvador from being in many other parts of the world, it’s the feeling that this country’s best days are still ahead of it. In a lot of places, it feels like things are going to get worse before they get better.
