Part 8/9:
Reflecting on my experiences in El Zante, I am left pondering whether Bitcoin has truly transformed El Salvador or if it merely serves as another tech experiment with tempered expectations. The stark reality is that Bitcoin has not replaced the dollar; it exists alongside cash rather than as a universal medium of exchange.
While there are certainly positive developments and emerging opportunities, the path to Bitcoin's widespread acceptance will require more time, patience, and community engagement. As I prepare to return to El Salvador, I remain hopeful for the future while recognizing the complexities of integrating Bitcoin into a society still finding its footing in this transformative landscape.
