I’m typing this out while flying over the Gulf of Mexico, about halfway between Orlando and Cancun. I’ll be landing in San Salvador in a little less than 2 hours.
I’ll be in the country for about 2 weeks. I’m using the Adopting Bitcoin conference as my excuse for visiting, but I have been itching to visit El Salvador ever since Jack Mallers’ talk at Bitcoin 2021.
I hope to explore San Salvador, El Zonte, El Tunco, and other nearby areas while I am here, as well as observe and document how Bitcoin is being used. I’ll use this first-hand experience to inform my contributions to the Bitcoin Design Guide.
