President Nayib Bukele made THIS possible and almost nobody outside El Salvador knows it yet! A Salvadoran journalist covering the Bitcoin Law got tired of not understanding what he was writing about. Kevin Rivera first heard people at El Zonte were accepting Bitcoin, googled it, hit the words "decentralized technology," and gave up on it entirely! Years later he's at Diario Diario El Salvador covering the economy with no background in economics. So he starts chasing interviews… Sees a tweet that Max Keiser is in the country, cold DMs him, shows up, and everything he'd been reading for months finally makes sense. The interview finally cracked it open. CUBO+ rebuilt him. Money comes first there, then cypherpunks and cryptography, Pierre Rochard on mining, Giacomo Zucco (Bear Market Edition) teaching. He enrolled to become a better reporter and finished ready to build something of his own. TH3Labs is his AI and Bitcoin software company, and what he’s building in El Salvador is wild! A guy who couldn't get past a Google search is now building on Bitcoin and Artificial Intelligence from El Salvador. The world is still debating El Salvador's Bitcoin experiment while Salvadorans are building... Watch for yourself (link below 👇)

Two brothers run helicopter tours, plane charters, and VIP airport pickups where everything gets paid in Bitcoin, down to the guy who clears the soccer field before they land. I sat down with Mauricio Villeda🇸🇻 and Diego Villeda Abdalah🇸🇻, the founders of Bitcoin Life 🇸🇻, to hear how one Stacy Herbert 🇸🇻🚀 retweet turned into the most Bitcoin-native tourism company in El Salvador. They also shared their plan for Bitcoin Street, a full street in San Salvador's Centro Histórico where every business runs on Bitcoin, and they're raising for it before Bitcoin Historico in November. What's happening in El Salvador is nothing short of extraordinary! This episode will blow your mind. Link below 👇

If you think moving to El Salvador is as simple as booking a flight, think again. Most expats sell everything, land in paradise, and quit within 3 years! We sat down with Jeni Ari, founder of Living Like a Local, one of the first relocation companies in Bitcoin country. She became a Salvadoran citizen THE DAY BEFORE we hit record. She's seen it all: gringos signing leases they can't read, $400 lawyers that cost thousands to clean up after, and families who thought they were scammed when they just didn't understand the culture. Her investigation tour sets off fireworks outside your hotel at midnight ON PURPOSE. If you can't handle it, she'd rather you stay home. That's how you protect a country from becoming the next expat bubble. If you are even remotely considering moving to El Salvador, you must listen to this one! Hear it straight from La Gringa Salvadoreña herself. Link down below 👇

What happens when a Bitcoiner sells everything and moves to El Salvador with no plan B? I sat down with Jon Byrne and asked him. He'd never even visited El Salvador before he bought the one way ticket. He said there was nothing to lose... Stay behind in the fiat world and you've already lost! In El Salvador, almost "everyone" already has a Bitcoin wallet. Jon says the hard part now is giving people a way to earn Bitcoin, so he built one. Get hired for any job, get paid directly, no bankster approval-to-use-your-money needed and no ID required! Freedom and sovereignty built in one app! BitTasker onboarded almost 1,000 users in eight months, and nearly all of them Salvadoran. Plumbers, drivers, coaches, developers, all earning sats for real work. His developers came out of CUBO+, the school Stacy Herbert 🇸🇻🚀 and Max Keiser built through the The Bitcoin Office. Jon says the knowledge those kids are walking out with is unbelievable. One of them, Dan, went straight from the classroom into a full time job building on Bitcoin for a Salvadoran company. This is why El Salvador is hope! Young Salvadorans learning to build, then getting paid in Bitcoin to do it, in their own, beautiful country 🇸🇻 This is the part of El Salvador nobody outside the country sees! So please help us share this post and the podcast so the truth about El Salvador can come out and inspire the world. New episode is live. Be ready to be mindblown 👇

A crypto billionaire (yes, with a 'B') visited El Salvador and tried to buy coffee with "Crypto." (guess who in the comments) The locals refused him. They said: "We don't accept that here." They forced him to use Lightning. Bitcoin Beach is not just a beach town anymore. It’s a citadel with higher financial standards than Wall Street. In this episode, Gerardo Linares and Evelyn Lemus break down the reality the IMF didn't mitigate for: • The "Juice Lady" charging EXTRA for fiat (Thiers' Law) • 16-year-olds running their own nodes • Hardware stores replacing Western Union The parallel system is live and spreading like wildfire in Bitcoin Country! 🇸🇻 Oh, and if you want to know which billionaire learned the hard way that "shitcoins" don't work in the real world... 👇

In 2008, the banks took his parents' home. They took everything. So he made a promise: "I’m going to build a company to replace them." Fast forward to today: • Founder of a $1 Billion company (Paystand) • 1,000,000 businesses onboarded • All silently operating on a Bitcoin Standard • And he just bought Bitwage Jeremy Almond is not just another tech CEO. The 2008 financial crisis orange-pilled him hard. He is the guy sneaking a "Bitcoin Trojan Horse" into the financial system to fix it from the inside. His story and plan are wild! You need to hear this one! Link below 👇

In this episode Jeff Booth ⚡️ walks through his two and a half hour meeting with President Nayib Bukele, what they really talked about around Bitcoin, the IMF, self custody, nodes, and circular economies, and why he left the palace more hopeful about El Salvador’s future than when he walked in. We also get into the media “dictator” narrative, what has actually changed on the streets here (spoiler alert: A LOT!), and what it means to try to build a free market out of a country that used to be a failed state. If you care about El Salvador renaissance, Bitcoin adoption, or just want to casually hear from a trustworthy Bitcoiner what he heard directly from President Bukele, you'll love this episode.

WE’VE BEEN LOOKING AT BITCOIN COMPLETELY WRONG. Every day, I hear the same two arguments. Normies say Bitcoin is "magic internet money backed by nothing," while their fiat currency dissolves. Meanwhile, some Maxis sit thousands of miles away wondering if El Salvador's adoption is just a top-down PR stunt. We sat down with Cherito Specialty BitCafé Roasters 🇸🇻😎☕💊🍊 to dismantle both narratives. Jorge fled El Salvador's civil war, built a tech career in Seattle, and returned to farm his family's coffee land through a decade of intense gang violence and crop disease. His story completely breaks Peter Schiff’s favorite "argument" against Bitcoin. Specialty coffee requires a 14-month cycle of human sweat and ancestral farming. Jorge calls these raw beans "Analog Proof of Work", natural manifestation of time and energy. When traded peer-to-peer for sats, Bitcoin isn't backed by thin air; it acts as a digital mirror mapping value to that real-world physics. This is a true circular Bitcoin economy! Bypassing predatory 4.5% banking fees via Lightning, Jorge's node automatically routes those saved sats as instant royalties directly to his baristas and remote mountain workers. His story and what he is building is absolutely amazing. If that wasn't enough, he even turns discarded coffee cherry skins into "Bitcoin Libre", a capitalistic counter-punch and mockery to communism. This story will change how you see Bitcoin, El Salvador, and human ingenuity. Stop wasting time looking at charts. Come see how the Bitcoin blockchain literally meets the fertile soil of Bitcoin Country. Watch the full episode now 👇

Two stories are happening at the same time. In Canada, Bitcoin ATMs are being removed to "protect" people. In the Netherlands, unrealized Bitcoin gains are now taxed. In the EU, you have to declare your personal wallet before an exchange will send you your own money. In El Salvador, the Bitcoin Farmers Market just hit its 3-year anniversary, and everything there runs on Bitcoin. You can buy a steak and a COLDCARD in the same hour. A rancher calls beef freedom tech. Blink Wallet, a wallet built in this country, just went fully self-custodial for every user. So when Bitcoiners rage quit over the IMF deal, the builders who stayed didn't panic. One called it "a flushing of the weak hands." Another said don't let perfect be the enemy of good. We got a rancher (James from BeefBackBetter 🇸🇻 Salvadoran Grass Fed Beef), a hardware store owner (Ronny 🇸🇻🇨🇦 from The Bitcoin Hardware Store), and a real estate developer (Will in paradise 🇸🇻 from Club Cocal 🇸🇻) around one table to ask: is Bitcoin country dead? Their answers will surprise you. Full episode out now 🇸🇻👇

We’ve had some incredible people passing through the studio in El Zonte lately, but this one is a bit different. Our guest today built one of the most influential brands in the space while remaining totally anonymous. He’s managed a whopping 1.8 million followers on X, he recently decided to dox his identity, and he’s currently in El Zonte on a total reset living on a true Bitcoin Standard! Can you guess who finally joined us on the ground? 🇸🇻 It’s my friend Archie from Bitcoin Archive, and this conversation went much deeper than I expected. We spent a lot of time discussing the real-world experience of healing in El Salvador. For Archie, spending time in El Salvador in 2026 was a survival strategy for his mental health. He gets incredibly honest about the "neurological price" of managing a massive brand and why he’s choosing a more authentic path now. It’s a rare look at the man behind the archive, and how he’s using the El Salvador experience to literally retrain his brain and find his focus again. Archie also shared a perspective on President Nayib Bukele that I haven't heard anywhere else, comparing him to the Founding Fathers in the way he’s changing the entire direction of this nation. Absolute fire! We give you a real status report on what is going on in El Salvador today. If you've been thinking about your own exit strategy or checking out El Salvador yourself, Archie’s insights on the country are pure gold. Really grateful to have Bitcoin Archive in the El Zonte community and to share this one with you. Watch the full sit-down at the link below 👇

The transition toward a fully sovereign nation requires the physical infrastructure to "match" the speed of a digital economy, and in today’s episode we speak with James McBride from Cielo Norte Aviación about his ambitious project to establish a decentralized aviation network within El Salvador. James describes the logistical feat of ferrying a helicopter three thousand miles from Northern Ontario to the Bitcoin Citadel to demonstrate his commitment to El Salvador. We chat about the technical challenges of navigating international borders and his strategic vision for high-speed air taxis that bypass traditional ground transit. James also shares exclusive details on his private meeting with President Nayib Bukele where they discussed the roadmap for becoming the primary aviation hub of Latin America. The industrial future of Bitcoin Country is nothing short of mind blowing! You don’t wanna miss this one. Links below 👇

🚨 WARNING: Kent Halliburton caught a CIA agent at his tiny Bitcoin meetup! It wasn’t a massive conference. It was a rural meetup in Portugal with 6 people. Then a guy showed up asking all the wrong questions. Turns out, he was from a 3-letter agency. If they are watching a 6-person meetup in rural Europe... imagine what they are doing to the protocol itself. In this new episode, Kent drops a reality check that most Bitcoiners are ignoring: Statecraft is ALREADY happening inside Bitcoin! So where does that leave us? 1) Is El Salvador Vulnerable? We know El Salvador is the "safe haven", but if Western intelligence is this active, is Nayib Bukele's Citadel actually Deep State proof? 2) How Can Bitcoiners Protect Themselves And The Network? Kent argues that "Holding" is no longer enough. To stop state capture, you have to do the one thing most Bitcoiners are scared to do. The West is compromised (we know this) The questions are: Is El Salvador next? What do bitcoiners need to do to actually fight back? This episode is MUST listen for anyone who cares about bitcoin and freedom! Links below 👇

Would you move to a country that guarantees your food and financial freedom? The era of the Sovereign Individual has arrived 🇸🇻 The "Harvest of Deception" is over. While the West builds a world of CBDCs and "science-based" food, we are building a parallel reality in El Salvador. I sat down with Texas Slim™ from Beef Initiative🇺🇸🇸🇻Beef.com to discuss why digital sovereignty is dead without biological health. Bitcoin for our money. Beef for our life. El Salvador for our freedom. The exit is open. Are you coming? Watch the full episode at the link below 👇

![Most Bitcoiners believe they are safe because they have a private key and a hardware wallet. But according to Patrick Hiebert, that’s only step 1! In our latest episode, we go deep into a topic most are too afraid to discuss: The Climate Lockdown. The next phase of global control. If you think your passport or your local bank will protect you when the "Climate Alerts" start, you're not ready. This conversation was the Reality Check you didn't know you needed. We discuss: Why El Salvador is now objectively safer than Canada. How to use Bitcoin mining + solar to create a "Zero-Cost" life entirely outside the fiat system (This will blow your mind). Why an off-grid sanctuary in Latin America is a necessity for 2026... unless you’re okay "eating bugs" during the next psyop. Patrick is building these "Citadels" right now. If you live in a Western "Democracy" and feel the walls closing in, this is the most important hour of content you will watch this year.

![Bitcoin is the greatest "exit" in human history, and all 80 IQ psychopaths on Twitter know that. But there is a massive physical backdoor the government is keeping wide open. If you have self-custody of your Bitcoin but only hold one passport, you aren't truly free yet. Think about it: Your body is still a hostage to physical borders and weapons. If your government freezes your travel, your wealth becomes a digital ghost. You can move your money, but you can't move yourself or your family. Asset seizures and global taxation are the new reality for the descending world... ...But the "Ascending World" is here. While the West builds walls, President Nayib Bukele is building a “Bitcoin firewall” for your life in El Salvador. We sat down with Alex Alex Recouso of CitizenX to expose the real "Bitcoin Backdoor" and how to fix it (in as low as 45 days).
