DESCRIPTION
Before June 2021, I could not point out El Salvador on a map, nor had I ever heard of Nayib Bukele, the country’s current president. So what happened to make me decide to give up almost everything in my life and move to a country I’d never heard about?
Well, at the end of the Bitcoin 2021 conference in Miami, Jack Mallers, founder and CEO of the Bitcoin payment company Strike, came onto the stage to make a special announcement. Mallers told the audience how spent a few months in El Salvador to roll out his product, helping Salvadorans keep more of their hard-earned money. He then uncovered that he’d been asked by Nayib Bukele, the El Salvadoran president, to advise on a law to make Bitcoin legal tender in El Salvador.
The government has launched Chivo Wallet, a Bitcoin wallet that works in conjunction with the Chivo ATMs scattered around the country. Salvadorans can now exchange Bitcoin for dollars and back. Salvadorans working abroad can also send remittance payments back home instantly and almost for free.
Bukele has announced Bitcoin City, a project to build a city in a special economic zone in the south of El Salvador. To attract foreign investments, the only tax people living in Bitcoin City will pay is a value added tax at 10%. The city is planned to be powered by geothermal energy from a nearby volcano.
Second, the country is going to offer Bitcoin Bonds, a true financial revolution in the way countries can potentially finance their development. The Bitcoin bonds are designed and launched together with Bitfinex and Blockstream, two major companies in the Bitcoin space.
For investors, the Bitcoin bonds are a unique opportunity to earn an attractive yield on their capital in a world of suppressed interest rates. Next to the yield they earn, Bitcoin bond investors are rewarded with residency and a path towards citizenship.
El Salvador is known all over the world for its People and Pupusas. Pupusas are thick flatbreads stuffed with cheese, shredded pork, beans, or Loroca flower. Pupusas are the national dish of El Salvador and they have their own National Pupusa Day. Pupusas are the most popular food consumed in El Salvador; Salvadorans eat them for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or as snacks.
When it comes to the people of El Salvador, I’ve only heard good things about them. They seem to be one of the friendliest, hard-working people on the planet. And I’ve heard this from many different people.
People often distinguish between developed countries and developing countries.
In developed countries, citizens enjoy the benefits of a highly industrialized economy, including a higher standard of living as well as social services provided by the welfare state. These include health care, education, social security, public housing, and more.
Developing countries have lesser developed economies, resulting in a lower standard of living and larger parts of the population living in poverty. The government is relatively small and doesn’t provide the social services people in developed countries enjoy.
I think this distinction between developed and developing world is becoming less and less relevant. Rather, I like to think of the falling countries and the rising countries.
Why? Because Western countries have become lazy, fat, old and broke. The economies are held up by unsustainable credit creation. The asset values that people of mostly older generations have accumulated are being propped up by an artificial expansion of the money supply, robbing younger generations from their future.
And as this system based on fake fiat money is reaching its limits, governments are becoming more and more tyrannical to prevent the house of cards from falling apart. As such, more aspects of our lives are becoming subject to government policy, whether it be through financial surveillance, control of movement of people and goods, ever-increasing taxes, and the lack of tolerance towards people that think differently. In the coming years, I see rising asset prices and inflation leaving more and more people disillusioned.
I am a former UCLA graduate.
I lived in California for 30 years. One day, I realized I wanted to live in a country where the cost of living was cheaper than Los Angeles, California. So, I moved to Ahuachapán, El Salvador. I found me a beautiful sweet wife, and I built a home from scratch with less than $100,000 dollars. I live in an a 8,000 footage square property, surrounded by mountains views, a river and I am at 2000 feet above sea level with a fantastic air quality. So, I am with you 100% per cent brother. Welcome!
Amazing!!! Happy for you 🌞🌴
@@daSilvaRosa thanks brother! Are you still in El Salvador?
Wow ! Thats amazing!! I’m starting to think about this more now more as the cost of living here in SoCal is so high.
Salvadorean people have been so kind to me. I love El Salvador 🇸🇻 hoping one day I can buy land there. Blessings 🙌
I may sell you two and and half acress . One hour from Aeropuerto four miles from litoral carretera close Rio Lempa ..this soil produce everything.If you find gold seeds You can grow Gold trees.Let me know
@@joserenderos6112 how much for this property?
@@joserenderos6112interested
You wants some land ?
Outstanding choice. I have a Finca (orchard) in San Miguel about 40minutes from the beach. You and your wife would be welcome in my finca to pick mangos, coconuts, limes, oranges and all kinds of tropical fruits for your own personal consumption. Free of charge. “Mi casa es su casa” - welcome to El Salvador.
What a sentiment. You’re so generous! ☺️
Pero no les vayas a ajotar los chuchos cuando mires el par de gringos, Chavacan.
Can I go to your finca too?? I am from El Salvador preparing myself to move back:)
@@daSilvaRosa hey Dav in El
Salvador most of
The people is so kind and welcoming you, we are warm and care each other people
You are a true Salvadorian... 🇳🇮❤️
This really made my tears roll down my cheeks. Thank you for choosing my beloved country, El Salvador to live. Am an artist, actor, Bible teacher living in Belize. I miss it so much. You made my day with such an amazingly well portrayed video. Hope we will meet one day. Thumbs up 👍 👌!!!!!!!
They will drive up prices for local families.
I'm a Salvadorean living for 42 years in Canada and I really desires to go back and live in my country. Is true what you say about a more simple life but much more healthy, more active because of the weather factor, may you feel like to be on the move all the time. Enjoy El Salvador 🙏🍻🇸🇻🇨🇦🌊🌋⚽
I plan to visit. Thats amazing you have citizenship there. Many expats from north america are moving to El Zonte/Bitcoin Beach.
Highest murder rate in the world no thanks
I totally agree with you, El Salvador soon will be the top country to live in. I’ll be moving there as well.
I am salvadoran living in Canada, my plan is to retire in El Salvador. Got my plan in motion. Loved the part where you talked about the falling/rising countries. Great video!!! Saludos!!
We left Canada, it has turned into a dark evil place, happy to be in El Salvador.
My family is planning to move to El Salvador to open a new business ! The president BUKELE is doing a lot to keep the country safe ! The food , the beaches and everything there is absolutely amazing
Another advantage of living in Latin American country is fresh, beautiful and yummy fruits. Also, interacting with the most friendly people in the world
Omgosh I saw a New Zealand couple also move to El Salvador...I want to move too!
El Salvador is becoming the safest country in CA, which is Awsome we have a lot of of hope in Bukele.
A lot of the same reasons why I moved from the US to El Salvador in 2015. My health was deteriorating in the US. I was overweight, suffered from high-blood pressure, almost had a thrombosis, was 50 pounds overweight, had back problems because of stress and was on medications. Fast-forward 7 years later... I'm no longer on any medication, blood pressure is normal, no more back problems, been eating healthier, lost more than 50 pounds of fat, and I'm traveling and found an equilibrium in my life. I recommend El Salvador to anyone who is looking to live better and has the means to move here.
I mean, there is nothing magical about El Salvador that fixes your weight and the rest of your issues....so I'm guessing you just starting eating and exercising better....
@GabrielNicho over there, the weather, the much walking, and more organic food make a huge difference in our health.
What! informative and educational video you have shared, welcome to the country of smiles.
People from El Salvador 🇸🇻 have a good heart. Viva La Bitcoin!
It makes us very happy 😃 that you have chosen our country. We need good people like you to start this new era where we will turn The little El Salvador into The Great El Salvador. 🇸🇻
I imagine myself eating all those tropical fruits that I have never heard of and lots of pupusas !!
Thank you David for putting all this work in this YT channel so we can all learn from your journey. My family & I are also considering leaving the Netherlands for E.S. so you can imagine your information is super valuable!
Keep up the great work, and when we have questions I hope you can answer them ✌️
I wish you and your wife a blessed life
Keep us updated !
🇸🇻☀️🌊
Thank you so much for all those kind words expressed on this video about my tiny in land, but beautiful country, and I just want to say that you got them all right and for sure your reasons will help to convince others to move here too, especially those bright, talented who appreciate heart-warming people, love peace and quiet, and stay away from the hustle and bustle of the big cities. Plus, enjoy perfect weather condition all year round!
I look forward to the day when I return permanently to my beloved country and leave behind this noisy city full of people with cold hearts.
Currently living in New York, USA.
Greetings!
Wow. I wish you and you family a great Life, in El Salvador 🇸🇻
In 10 years I would like to follow your path. Greetings from Virginia.
Fascinating! Please stay on your journey to document your day to day new life! 🙏
Well said young men. I am salvadoreña in the USA. Want to move back after 38 years here. We appreciate the honest words about my little El Salvador
@@daSilvaRosa KEEP US UPDATED..I HAVE SOME SERIOUS INVESTMENTS IN BITCOIN AND I HAVE AN EYE IN WHAT IS GOING ON WITH BUKEL..PEACE FROM TEXAS
Welcome to El Salvador 🇸🇻 hope you enjoy every second there
Bukele is a genius in every way,85% of the population support him,Democrats and Republicans only Wish they had that much support in the states!
Thanks for sharing! Super excited to hear and see more. We hope to move to El Salvador around the next halving. Can't wait to get there!
Wow! Just wow! Great explanation. It sounds like I’m gonna have to learn Spanish soon… 😎
thank you for put to my country in the world's eyes!!
Reason #6 security , crime and corruption is coming to low’s never seen before this is a big plus for investors and entrepreneurs which NABU is promoting and it will boost the economy , meanwhile what many Salvadorans do is live in 🇺🇸 🇨🇦 most of the year and go back home in the winter months works wonderfully for us , 🇫🇷 is a different story but something to consider welcome to the new E. S. thanks to God first of all and NABU for 20 more years in office 🇸🇻
Wow nice I’m glad you guys like my beautiful country
Hi David, I'm a proud Salvadorean living in the US right now, but planning on my retirement and probably moving to my home country. It makes me so happy to know that people from other countries like El Salvador in many ways. Better yet, moving to it. Thank you for your video and Welcome to El Salvador. You have to explore the beauty of it.

Very good breakdown.
Thanks France brother finally you find the right place for living healthy. Vœu palais français darien merci
I've found my spiritual Bro! Thank you! We're on our way 😉
2 years ago I had the opportunity to visit France. I soon prepared myself to have the best experience of my life. Do to the fact that France has always been a place that I dreamed to visit, France has so much history rich in culture, beauty of a romantic city of charm and class. We landed with such of excitement making plans what historical places to see. But Things started going south as soon me and my friends try to settle into our hotel, The front desk workers were a bit unfriendly, that immediately set a very uncomfortable atmosphere, We were a group of 5 girls. we booked 2 rooms to stay close to one another, 1 south Americans, 2 American and 2 of us Centro Americans, as we set in our rooms, we noticed that the AC was not working so we called front desk, They were very rude telling us that we had to pay extra for the use of the AC. Lol I thought we heard wrong, We booked the rooms online describing all the amenities, including AC. We went to from desk and asked nicely to check our reservations to make sure we got the reservation right, they refused to do so, they also told us if we were not happy that we could always leave to another hotel then he pointed a run down hotel across the street. We just couldn't believe how confrontational there were towards us. One of my friend started crying and said she want to go back home that it was a big mistake to visit France, To avoid more drama we cut our losses and booked another hotel, at this point we were so exhausted from the long flight with no food places we closing because it was late. The other hotel front desk people were ok not the best welcome but at least we had a nice comfy rooms with all the amenities, Next morning we planned our day we visited a few places which we really love On the street people were rude, we saw a group of Japanese tourists, young teenagers were mocking them mimicking how they walked and talked, To make this horrible experience short we left France with a very different opinion based on how were treated also what we witness on the streets, It's such a big difference how we foreigner treat tourists when they visit our countries, without knowing who they are we welcome them with open arms, shelter them and share little we had with them. So there casa is not your casa. Totally the opposite of our Latin culture. French people are very discriminatory to others that is not there own people
The French put the F in F the French
very good information from el salvador
What an awesome video.
GREAT VIDEO I SUBSCRIBED TODAY AND CANNOT WAIT TO HEAR HOW IS GOING FOR YOU AND YOUR WIFE IN EL SALVADOR
Wow i never thought about it this way 😳nice video
thanks David da Silva. for said beatiful words about my country.
Thanks David, wishing you and your family all the best on your journey in El Salvador! One question that keeps me busy: Not sure if applicable to you, but if you had family and friends in whatever country you lived in and you value those relationships deeply, how do/did you cope with that? Ofcourse it is easy to take a flight once in a while, but that is not the same. Curious on your process and thoughts on this!
@@daSilvaRosa Man. I wish I could leave the US. Happy for you that you are able to move to El Salvador!
Very insightful video thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for your kind video. I am so proud of my country. Everyone is welcome to El Salvador!!

Thank you so much for this great video about my country El Salvador and considering to live there. After watching your video, I also consider moving there in the future.
You are right from the start to the end Awsome video.
thanks for your kind words about my country
It would be great if you made a video of how you got residency or citizenship when going to El Salvador, I agree with you the plan on moving to El Salvador is great but there is great lack of information in regards residency or citizenship.
Great video. Well said!
Glad you liked it!
Yes Healthy always, God bless you and family
