Thanks brotha! You've been a big inspiration for me to get out and see the world of Bitcoin, it's been a joy getting to be a part of such a positive and worthwhile movement :)
I just returned yesterday from a full week in El Salvador learning about Bitcoin beach and the many changes going on there. It’s great to see Guatemala adopting BC from the grass roots, and hopefully on up.
Bitcoin Beach is the shining beacon that has inspired communities like Panajachel to carry the flame. So excited to see more and more of these communities pop up all around the world!
Thank you man,for visiting my country i appreciate you for not saying negativenes about my country ,some people are scared of my country because that they think that it's the most dangerous country in the world,but they don't realise that danger is everywhere even in the modern countries ,guatemala is guatemala like you saw it i am proud of my people for been one of them as mayan ,indiginous by my roots,thanks for the little history of my people ,maybe someday you will go back and i assure you that you will be welcome.God bless..
Yup! Although I would say El Salvador was the first spark and Guatemala is carrying the flame... Mexico and Honduras next!! Glad you enjoyed the video!!
What a wonderful video. I had no idea this was in Guatemala. I am a doctor and our Medical volunteer ministry sends me as a doctor to Guatemala to serve the people there with free medical care. And ... we fund it all with Crypto. :) Great work you are doing. Thank you.
Excellent video, the deeper ties into what we're doing all of this for rather than just looking at the money is exactly the kind of message that makes sense to spread.
Awesome content continues 🧡 Another great video!! Been waiting for this video since you showed a quick look sometime back & it was well worth the wait.
Thanks L H! Yeah it took a while for me to lock the whole story down in the edit, so very happy you feel it was worth the wait! Excited for the next adventure already ☺️!
Dude, you rock. This video was so well put together, uplifting, humbling and educational. Love that you have both a BTC address and LN address for donations.
You ROCK - thanks for watching and I'm so glad you enjoyed the journey! There are so many Bitcoin communities sprouting up so hopefully I'll have a chance to film another trip like this again soon!
that's awesome! If you go there you should load up a Bitcoin wallet and try it out in some of the stores there! Wallet of Satoshi is the easiest to get started (you'll need to buy some on an exchange or other service and transfer it on), and btcmap.org will help you find all the stores that accept it!
Fabulous video! You've really captured the warmth of Guatemala and the community leaders like Eliazar. I just left Pana 3 days ago and was fortunate enough to meet up with Eliazar and Rudy as they installed the first BTM in the town for Lago Bitcoin. Also visited Kaboom mining. They are an inspiration to us all and yes I whole heartedly agree, visit Guatemala, support groups like Lago Bitcoin and feel the Mayan spirit and culture fill your heart.
It is sad that US embassy has Guatemala as dangerous country I know every country has their dangerous zones it ia underrated country Me and my wife have been there many times and we have had amazing time with people and food Im glad Mayan people have and opportunities to grown because the corruption of their government stopped them from prosperity but now have the opportunity with Bitcoins great job and great vid and keep it up greetings from Houston
Thank you for this video! I’m a Guatemalan bitcoiner who lives in the US. So I truly appreciate this video that shows me the progress in my birth country!
Much easier to collect and accurately estimate taxes through a public ledger or custodial app that tracks everything versus cash-based record-keeping and accounting
Glad you enjoyed it! I'm BC born and raised! If you liked this I recommend checking out my little documentaries on El Salvador, they are kind of the "prequel" story to this :)
Thanks Jonny! Glad you enjoyed it - I'm definitely so happy with the amount of people seeing this now. Did not expect the video to break over 10k views!
@@getbasedtv you deserve it's obvious alot of time and passion whent into this you definitely getting me as a subscriber. Look forward to seeing what you come up with next.
Great stuff here man. Looks like you had a blast. You showed much respect to their history and culture. Next trip, this fellow Canadian is on board !!!
Wowzer! The only thing I have heard is vegetable oil doesn't run as clean long term - need to clean the engine out once a year or some residues can build up. And with used cooking oil probably a bit faster. It's still so cool though!
san Pedro and San Marcos are also adopting bitcoin around the lake and in the latter, there's a bitcoin ATM at the Emporium on the little street up from the harbour
I will be forever grateful to you, you changed my entire life and I will continue to preach on your behalf for the whole world to hear you saved me from huge financial debt with just a small investment, thank you Mrs Kathy lien.
Man that means the world to me - so glad you enjoyed it. I love all the places and ideas Bitcoin has inspired in me - hope I can keep showing then on film indefinitely 🤘
This video made my day. I forwarded this to 5 people I know, and whom I’m begging to get into Bitcoin. This video is a perfect example of why I’m so passionate about Bitcoin. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it so much! I'm hoping to make a lot more videos like this in the future - showing the impact of Bitcoin in countries all over the world :)
Good video... Well done.. I live here in Panajachel ... a few years ago I tried to set up a kraken account and other accounts and just getting it set up was so difficult and I still never even got the accounts funded because it was so difficult... I've been meaning to go talk to Lago Bitcoin and get set up that way... I just might do that today and put some money into Bitcoin finally... Adios from the mountains of Guatemala Lake atitlan
Thank you so much for this amazing video! I need some advice: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (air carpet target dish off jeans toilet sweet piano spoil fruit essay). What's the best way to send them to Binance?
Thank you for your involvement in promoting Bitcoin. Real freedom is on the verge of exploding, and it is because of people like you that hope is rising.

My wife and son are both Guatemalan and I have two businesses in Guatemala and go to Lake atitlan serval times a year. Nobody in Guatemala calls in “Bitcoin Lake” lol. First time ever hearing it here
Bitcoin is an open ledger but most people will not be transacting on the base layer in the future - it will only be used for large settlements. Lightning is used as a faster/quicker secondary layer (similar to how Mastercard/Visa operates on top of SWIFT/ACH in traditional finance) and is harder to trace.
Awesome vid. Mad respect for Eliazar. I'm sure he'll inspires others to get out there and talk about Bitcoin! 🧡
Yes! We need an Eliazar in every town, city, and country on Earth!
Yo! Send some sats to Eliazar 😄

Well stated Miguel. Cheers.
I’m from Guatemala 🇬🇹 proud that people from Guatemala learn about bitcoin
The "Bitcoin virus" is spreading from El Salvador 😄!

Glad you enjoyed it!
Lake Atitlan Guatemala 🇬🇹 beautiful Magical place ✨️
Yes it is! Very good energy there 😊
Maybe El Salvador and Guatemala can enter into some sort of free trade partnership.
Yes! I think they have fairly close relations in general for trade. A lot of people we spoke to in Guatemala also knew and were fond of Bukele!
they already do - in fact with four central American countries with visa waivers between them for easy travel
