Tales from the Land of Freedom and Bitcoin:
For the third time in a matter of months, El Salvador censored Telegram yesterday, preventing access to the app on all five of its national mobile networks. The event “ accidentally ” coincided with Independence celebrations, and on the very day when anti-government demonstrations were taking place in the capital San Salvador. Organizers were using the messaging app to coordinate participants.
This year, government censorship for Telegram in El Salvador had already been triggered twice, on the day of the President's inauguration and in July, to crack down on the Telegram group of CiberinteligentiaSV hackers, who have been very active in exposing alleged illicit and corrupt practices of the Salvadoran administration.
But hey, Buky on X guaranteed that in El Salvador “you won't be arrested, censored (...) for exercising your right to free speech.” Why should we worry?

It depends on the priorities of individuals. As a content creator and educator my priority is Bitcoin, and above all to reach as many normies as possible. To do this, I will focus a lot on Instagram and Tik Tok in the near future.

"Mining's huge power consumption will send Texans' power bills through the roof," Bitcoin detractors screamed.
According to @npub1hxw…40pf over the past year, the load of mining in Texas has increased by 30 percent while the price of electricity has dropped by 80 percent.
We often underestimate how Bitcoin's real incentive lies in its intrinsic link to electricity.

Sorry. My bad. Let me rephrase.
Salvadorans earn dollars. Like it or not everyone in the emerging markets want the US dollar. Possibly cash. It is what it is. It’s undeniable. It’s the reason why they buy them on the black market for twice their value sometimes. It’s the reason there’s more USDT adoption that BTC adoption in the global south.
I’m not saying I like it. It’s just the truth.
Same in El Salvador. In order to boost adoption they need to understand that BTC is superior money compared to USD. And as you know it takes time. You need a profound comprehension of Bitcoin for that. It takes time.

You don’t need the “legal tender” for that. Find a job that pays you in Bitcoin.

I have been very often critical of Bukele, especially of the state spyware Chivo Wallet, and of the statist propaganda of many bitcoiners who portray El Salvador as "Bitcoin heaven."
I must admit that it is good to read the president admit in his TIME interview that the adoption of Bitcoin in the country has NOT been the success that was expected.
Truth always wins.
TIME: I also want to ask you about the adoption of Bitcoin in El Salvador. (…) In your opinion, has it been a success?
BUKELE: Yes and no; a lot more could definitely be done. Bitcoin hasn't had the widespread adoption we hoped for. (…) It hasn’t had the adoption we expected. The positive aspect is that it is voluntary; we have never forced anyone to adopt it. (…)
For me, it is an option we have given to Salvadorans. I'm not going to say it's the currency of the future, but there's a lot of future in that currency.
TIME: You bet a lot on Bitcoin.
BUKELE: El Salvador invested $135 million. Now, we have $400 million in Bitcoin in the public wallet alone. (…) I feel that it could have worked better, and there is still time to make some improvements, but it hasn’t resulted in anything negative. On the contrary, it gave us branding, it brought us investments, it brought us tourism. (…)
In the end, the fact of being a “First Mover,” I think, gives us a small advantage, as far as it goes. I feel that it could have been much better. I wouldn't consider it a resounding success. Still, I do believe that the positive outcomes outweigh the negative.

Two years ago @npub1zu5…qtgz and Max were the first to put their trust in a semi-unknown Italian podcaster by giving him a speech at the Baltic Honeybadger 2022.
It was a somewhat polemical talk entitled ‘Lights and shades of bitcoin as legal tender in El Salvador’, the result of a long journey of exploration, 41 days in the country of Bukele without cash or credit cards, just bitcoin. The aim was to understand whether, far from Bitcoin Beach, in the most rural areas of the country, one could really survive using only Bitcoin.
A lot has happened since then. Many more trips spent reporting on adoption in emerging countries, many, many more prestigious international conferences. Until Honeybadger 2024, where I was honoured to be among the hosts on the main stage.
All this to say that I am beyond grateful.❤️

Well, that meat historically was a luxury is a proven fact. That said if you want to eat only red meat it’s a free choice. Just don’t rewrite history to make your point. You don’t need it.

I think you mean ‘representative democracy’. Words are important and I often hear people generalising in a rather goofy way.
If, on the other hand, you really mean democracy in general, I don't want to convince you otherwise, but I would like to know what you would replace it with. Monarchy? Autocracy? Aristocracy? Polytheia? Theocracy?

Did you know that…
The term "credit card" first appeared in the realm of science fiction. It was introduced by author Edward Bellamy in his 1888 novel *Looking Backward*. In this utopian novel set in the year 2000, Bellamy describes a future society where people use a form of "credit card" to make purchases. This early concept of a credit card is different from what we use today but laid the groundwork for the idea of a card-based payment system.
Bellamy's vision involved a system where citizens could access their share of the nation's wealth through a card that debited from their government-provided credit, rather than borrowing money as in modern credit card systems.
