A couple of years before El Salvador accepted bitcoin as an official means of money, in one village where surfers were vacationing, they began to pay boys for garbage collection with bitcoins, and then the only store began to accept the first cryptocurrency.

Why? Who was behind this?

An anonymous person suggested that an American entrepreneur organize an economic experiment, create an ecosystem in a village based on bitcoin. He financed this experiment, but the performer was Jack Mullers.

It was thanks to him that bitcoin began to roam from family to family in the village. A special application was also created that solved the problem of fast small transactions, as well as showed where you can pay with bitcoins.
Has bitcoin started to become popular among the population? No

Have residents become more financially literate? Yes, the entrepreneur tries to explain as much as possible how to protect himself in case of volatility, that while the exchange rate is high, it is worth making purchases and that you also need to make transfers to the dollar.

Some are even using volatility to their advantage.

Has this solved the financial problems of the residents? No, but that doesn't mean that they would just be given a mountain of money for nothing.

But! The village did not have access to the banking system, and even settlements with builders meant that workers had to go to the city to get a settlement. Now you can pay with crypts and save time and nerves (and save on a high bank transfer fee).
