The adventure starts with a celebrated bi-weekly in advanced of El Salvador’s Central Bank…
Under Bitcoin Law: “We Are Witnessing History”
The bi-weekly is a connected attendance throughout Bart’s thread. It’s awash out everywhere. Somebody in San Salvador knew how important this moment in history was. Later on in the thread, Bart approved to buy a archetype of the bi-weekly from an old man that was account it and the man banned his offer. “He told us that “people charge to apprentice and understand” about bitcoin,” though.
The aboriginal big chance was accoutrement the anti-Bitcoin protests. A big accountable for acceptable media. A big antic for the pro-Bitcoin activists on Twitter. Were they as baby as this birds-eye-view picture suggests? Bart’s contiguous attestant annual tells addition story.
They were 150 bodies at aboriginal but, as the day advanced, added groups joined. Then, they all started “some affectionate of advance to the big square.” The announcer in Bart took over and approved to do some digging. “Talked to one of the organizers. The beef is not alone adjoin bitcoin, but additionally adjoin the regime. He told me that “the law is implemented to fast and cipher needs it.” If you alone knew, organizer. If you alone knew.
The artist in Bart takes over as he describes the situation. “I wouldn’t say it is the better beef that I’ve anytime seen, but it is not bush either.” So, both abandon of the media were lying to us. What do you know? Then, the badge put drones in the air to adviser the crowd, but they were not necessary. “March concluded at the “Palacio Legislativo”. We will go aback to the centermost to analysis out the added side. Goal of the day: accomplish a acquittal with my own Lightning node.”
The Other Side: Chivo Problems
The aboriginal Chivo ATM they encountered wasn’t working. It was central a coffee store. “The buyer told us that there were some problems with the app and the ATM. Mostly connectivity issues with added wallets.”
Life beneath Bitcoin law is not as accessible as it seems. There are lines alfresco the Chivo cashpoints and the ATM is out of coins. When they do acquisition a anatomic ATM, it appears that it alone works with the Chivo Wallet. “NO LIGHTNING SUPPORT. That was a disappointment.” Luckily for the El Salvador Bitcoin experiment, they ability be wrong about that. What they’re not amiss about is this:
Bart sells $20 account of BTC and the ATM doesn’t accord him the money. Then, a acquaintance buys $20 account of BTC and the arrangement takes a while to accelerate it to him, but it eventually arrives. However, “It looks like Chivo deducted the on alternation fees from his buy.” According to President Bukele, beneath Bitcoin law, all affairs appliance the app are declared to be commission-free. “The bodies about are actual nice and helpful. They told us that back it is the aboriginal day the appliance and ATM has some difficulties.”
The Other Side: Lightning Payments
Then, things took a about-face for the best. Bart is able to achieve his “Goal of the day: accomplish a acquittal with my own Lightning node.” Life beneath Bitcoin law is good.
And then, they buy a hamburger in some little alien restaurant and show us the technology that the restaurant is alive with. “The band-aid was acutely still in development UX wise,” but it works. For the transaction, they pay “6 sats. $0,003. Let that bore in.” To accomplish it, they acclimated a “node that is 9.500 km away.”
Then, they go to a little alien coffee abode and, finally, accomplish a acquittal application the Chivo wallet’s Lightning Network capabilities. “Guys this is the future. Hyped af appropriate now.” This is activity beneath Bitcoin law.
Under Bitcoin Law: The Epilogue
After that abounding day of activities, Bart and aggregation went to a Bitcoin meetup. In the average of the night, he asked himself the big question. The abutting day, they went to El Zonte for a Bitcoin day party. “Made it aback cautiously to El Zonte. Closing this thread. Thanks all for the amazing support. It absolutely was a actual day. ” It seems like we all should accept gone to El Salvador to buck witness.
