I visited 5shops / merchants in a row that don’t accept btc or used to accept btc in San Salvador.
🏃♂️ The nike store used to accept. Stopped 6 months ago they said.
🥩 Lunch steak place had never used it. Called Casa Fuego.
☕️ Coffee vendor in the plaza apparently never accepted it. Looked at me like I had 3 heads when I asked.
📱 Then the superselectos supermarket accepts bitcoin for groceries but not for phone credit so
we had to go to the street dude.
📞 phone credit vendor person never accepted btc.
Fortunately I was with
Napoleon Osorio (npub18rj…fxch) ‘a team so they helped me out p2p 🤙 (highly recommend his guys!!)
So there are of course mega bitcoin-y areas across the country..
But Btc Payments adoption is quite hard to follow in #ElSalvador
