Show Notes

I talk with Roberto Osegueda, a Salvadorian living here in New Zealand.  We talk about Roberto's experience growing up in El Salvador among the backdrop of the civil war and gang violence, and how the country has managed to massively change its image over the last few years for the better. El Salvador adopted Bitcoin as legal tender in September 2021 and Roberto shares a very interesting take on the successes and the challenges of Bitcoin as a currency, and how it can perhaps serve as a positive model for other countries in Latin America and the world.
