00:00This is the famous Bitcoin beach in El Salvador, a place that is talked about all over the world.
00:06but few truly understand.
00:09It's not just a beach, it's not just Bitcoin, it's a rare mix of surfing, beautiful scenery, lots of foreigners, and
00:16a captivating calm.
00:19My fellow travelers, today I greet you from Bitcoin Beach.
00:22I've come here with a lot of curiosity to find out what's going on and why so many people decide to do this.
00:27stay in this place.
00:30When I first heard about Bitcoin Beach, I thought it was just marketing, a pretty beach with a catchy name.
00:36But when I arrive I realize that literally everywhere you look there's the big B for Bitcoin, signs in businesses
00:42and even some fans labeled with Bitcoin.
00:46I've never seen this anywhere else in the world; the presence of Bitcoin here is so widespread.
00:51Notice that even the vans are labeled, they all say Bitcoin.
00:55And as you walk along, different businesses, even small ones, like corner stores, have the big B.
01:00We accept Bitcoin here.
01:06When you arrive in El Sante the whole vibe changes, and I've come here after a few days of feeling too rushed.
01:12Here in El Salvador, in La Campanera, El Barro, the Historic Center.
01:15And suddenly when you arrive here, time is definitely not marked by the clock, but by the sea.
01:21And you see the tourists completely disconnected, walking barefoot with their surfboards.
01:26And that was exactly what I needed now, to be able to get to know El Salvador, but as a complete paradise.
01:35I'm already feeling the Bitcoin Beach vibe.
01:38And the truth is there is very little information on the internet.
01:40It's my first time here and I didn't know exactly what to expect.
01:44In fact, when I got the Uber that brought me here, I thought, "Here it is."
01:47We arrived very, very relaxed.
01:50And this is considered one of the best beaches for surfing in all of El Salvador.
01:55Suitable for both beginners and professionals.
01:58And wow, I was left without sandals and everything.
02:01But I don't think this will be the best access to the beach because this whole area is crowded.
02:05of stones.
02:06Something I do see, and that really catches my attention, is that this is an area of growth.
02:10From the moment you arrive there are too many eco-hotels, luxury hotels, and beach houses.
02:15All with spectacular views.
02:17Even now I'm walking here and look, on my left there's an infinity pool, super beautiful.
02:23I'm also going to arrive later at a holiday beach house with spectacular views and cliffs.
02:29But right now we want to see what we find.
02:32I brought my camera and what El Sonte shows me is what you're going to see.
02:35So let's go.
02:37This is Bitcoin Beach in El Sonte, El Salvador.
02:41A small place, but with a history that ended up attracting the attention of the entire world.
02:46Here time moves slower and life seems to happen without haste.
02:51It's incredible how many tourists you see.
02:55Some were enjoying their surfing with their boards, while others were working.
02:59And that's because of the little I've walked.
03:00I've noticed there are many cafes and everyone is out working on their computers.
03:04How wonderful to be able to work like this with this spectacular view so close to the sea.
03:09And in fact I read that that's one of the main reasons why people come here as
03:14Tourists come to spend five days and end up staying for months because there's something here in El Sonte that captivates them.
03:21Many of the people you see here are not on vacation.
03:24They are digital nomads.
03:26People working from their laptops looking for safe, quiet places with good internet.
03:31The Sonte became very attractive to them.
03:34As soon as I heard about Bitcoin Beach, it sparked my curiosity, and I kept asking, "Is it El Sonte or Bitcoin Beach?"
03:42And it turns out that the original name is El Sonte, but since 2019, here for the first time, all of El Salvador
03:48Everything related to Bitcoin began to be used.
03:51Not in a political way, but rather, let's say, quite by chance.
03:56They received an international donation in Bitcoin, and instead of exchanging it for dollars, they started to...
04:01all investments in Bitcoin.
04:03Thus it began to normalize in such a way that a few years later the president already established it as currency
04:09national.
04:10And today I want to investigate and find out if it's still really used as a in all businesses.
04:16currency to pay for the simplest, most basic things, from water to a surf lesson.
04:22In 2021, El Salvador became the first country in the world to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender.
04:29legal and now they even have their own beach: Bitcoin Beach.
04:35It's a bit of a shame, to be honest, because I was walking around without any particular direction, just seeing where it was taking me, and I ended up
04:41This place is like a beach club or inn with a pool, in fact, with a spectacular view.
04:47The surfers here and nobody asked me anything, I haven't paid anything, so they can say anything at any moment.
04:52Oh miss, you're not a guest, but I didn't do it on purpose.
04:55I simply wanted to go along the entire beach, but there are too many beach clubs right there, all crammed together.
05:01So I don't know if one can travel to this part, look, and suddenly come out over there.
05:10Surfing is one of the reasons many came, but it's not the reason why
05:15They stay.
05:16They stay because of the routine, the calm, the feeling that nobody is rushing you.
05:21Here, success is not pursued, it is lived.
05:26I was telling you that this place is full of many foreigners who come, fall in love with this vibe, and then...
05:33remain.
05:33And I want to introduce you to Pancho, whom I just met, and who is Venezuelan, right?
05:38Yes, I am Venezuelan, I am from Caracas, San Antonio and Los Altos, but part of Greater Caracas.
05:42When was the first time you came to El Salvador?
05:44I had come eight years ago and I loved the country, all because here Salvadorans love foreigners.
05:50Uh-huh.
05:51And they loved me, they loved me when at one time Venezuelans were not naturally loved.
05:56Nowhere.
05:57And no, the truth is that's what made me fall in love with it, and I said, look, if I were to leave Venezuela for some...
06:01On the other hand, I said for El Salvador.
06:02So, you could say that what captivated you about El Salvador was its people and
06:06the charisma of Salvadoran men and women.
06:08Their charisma, their naturalness, their warmth, make you feel like you're from here.
06:14of all time.
06:15Okay, I can actually hear a slight Salvadoran accent from you.
06:18Yes, it's not the same as when I arrived.
06:20Look, and let's see the little bracelets you sell.
06:22Look, these are them.
06:23I make a little bit of everything, I make things with thread, with metal.
06:26And these are here, these say El Salvador.
06:29They say El Salvador, they say things like "juela" and "quechivo" in local expressions.
06:32Guanaco, what is a guanaco?
06:33Guanaco is like saying "Venezuelan" right now, perhaps, it's like a different way of calling a Salvadoran a Salvadoran.
06:40Okay.
06:40Guanaco.
06:40Can you imagine living anywhere other than here?
06:42Not right now.
06:43Not right now.
06:43In Venezuela, well, but not right now, not anywhere other than here, no, I love it, it's true.
06:48maximum.
06:48And do you surf?
06:49I've learned something.
06:50In eight years and he learned us, you're really bad.
06:53No, no, no, the thing is that I wasn't that captivated by that sport, I was more captivated by boxing.
06:57And here I was practicing boxing.
06:59Okay, and you come here every day with the little bracelets.
07:01I come here, I'm on several beaches in this area.
07:04And the most important question: do you accept Bitcoin?
07:06Yeah.
07:18Today the tide is high, in fact we don't have much of a beach, but this is precisely where all the surfers come in, they're
07:24waiting for those waves,
07:26They tell me that this is the low wave season, although I see it as very rough.
07:30And something that strikes me is that here surfing isn't seen simply as a sport, but
07:35as a lifestyle.
07:37And in fact, the people who work and fulfill all their duties on a daily basis, the first
07:42What he does when he wakes up is go surfing a wave
07:45And so they think that with that they'll have an excellent, relaxed day, and that's because they say that
07:50For every ill, the sea.
07:52And before the sun has finished setting, they return again.
07:55And I think they're among those who worked and are now coming around for a little while to see what's going on.
07:59surf.
08:09Hi, excuse me, what's wrong, Hugo?
08:11Flower, pineapple, orange, papaya.
08:14Can I have a strawberry one, but can I pay you with Bitcoin?
08:17Yeah.
08:18Do you have a minimum amount to pay in Bitcoin or any fees?
08:21You are charged 25 cents.
08:23Okay, so if it costs 3.25, I'm going to pay 3.50.
08:26Okay, I'd rather pay in cash, but give me a strawberry one.
08:29Thank you.
08:29Well, to be honest, it's just out of curiosity because I don't own Bitcoin, but it really catches my attention that in
08:35We accept Bitcoin everywhere.
08:37It's like, it makes me want to have work and pay there quickly with my phone.
08:43Wow, look, the glass here has the B for Bitcoin.
08:46Everywhere.
08:48Let's try it.
08:50It's super delicious.
08:59What definitely captivates any foreign tourist upon arriving at this place, beyond its beautiful palm trees and beaches,
09:07landscapes.
09:08It's the vibe that completely envelops you and makes you say, wow, I want to stay here, I want to stay not only
09:1410 days, but several months and more.
09:16Those who are digital nomads, and it's very common to see them.
09:19In fact, here, as you walk by, they're in their lounge chairs, sunbathing, in bikinis, and with the
09:24Computer, definitely the dream job.
09:27If you're enjoying this video so far, please give it a like and subscribe so we can make many more.
09:33Videos from around the world.
09:38Wow, I walked all this way along the coast and suddenly I just realized this is the spot of all the
09:44surfers.
09:45They are currently entering the water.
09:48Let's see if I'm lucky and can talk to one of them.
09:51They also tell me, I'm seeing, that they already have a kind of natural refuge.
09:54I don't know what they do there.
09:56I don't know if they are going or entering the water.
10:02There's no beach left because the tide came in, and look how quickly the sea changes.
10:08We're gradually getting all this beach stuff going.
10:12The sun is going down and at the same time the tide is going out.
10:16And in this part it feels much more familiar.
10:18Notice that there are many people bathing, the water is nice and warm.
10:21Also children taking surf lessons.
10:24I should take a class, but I don't know, I'm more in relaxation mode than action and adrenaline mode.
10:30And honestly, for a beginner, I think the classrooms are quite high.
10:34Not here, on the shore, but where all the surfers are.
10:37Oh, my skirt got wet.
10:45If you still have any doubt that Bitcoin Beach is the beach of digital nomads, look at this statue.
10:52I don't think I've ever seen anything like this anywhere else in the world.
10:55A statue of a person sitting in a relaxed posture, with their laptop on their lap, wearing headphones, and directly facing the
11:02sea, facing paradise.
11:03So if you are one of those people who has the privilege of being able to work only with an internet connection
11:09Internet, your computer, from anywhere in the world, I'm sure you're enjoying this video and this destination.
11:15This figure represents a new way of living, working without an office, choosing where to wake up, exchanging noise for the sea.
11:24Now I want to show you the spectacular view from this cliff.
11:29We're right above a cave that I wanted to go under, but I was told that because of the tide...
11:35high, it was dangerous to do so until now.
11:37They recommend it very early in the morning.
11:39And I can't wait here for sunset because the sun is about to set.
11:44Look how beautiful it is, and the whole view is gorgeous.
11:53I've come to this house with a spectacular view to visit someone I met and
12:00whom I admire very much and whom you surely know, my dear and admired Planet Juan.
12:05Okay, I'm going to get up here.
12:07How are you?
12:07Welcome, welcome to El Salvador.
12:10To your house?
12:11Well, back home for the next few days.
12:12When I arrived, I found everything on the computer with all its equipment, but with a really nice view, right?
12:17The view is spectacular.
12:18It's spectacular, El Salvador has some corners that one...
12:22Well, nowadays El Salvador is on everyone's lips for many reasons, but also at a level
12:26This doesn't make sense, it's so beautiful.
12:29Soon on your channel you'll see an incredible series about El Salvador, but today, what are you doing here?
12:35I'll show you.
12:36Planet Juan and Milan, we created Planet and Milan Education.
12:39It is a 100% virtual language school.
12:41It seems to me that he was inserting a pattern into his video.
12:43No!
12:44But it's the reality of what we're doing here.
12:46That's not the intention.
12:47So, why did they come to El Salvador?
12:49Look over there.
12:49Through sight.
12:50It's spectacular.
12:51It's divine.
12:52And that's what he's talking about: that there were too many foreigners coming here to work, to plan, to create
12:56ideas.
12:57El Salvador has created its own consequences, and many people, after being the talk of the town, have become
13:03a place that has attracted attention.
13:05In many areas.
13:05This is the office where we're working today. Come on, let me show you.
13:08It must be great to work like this, right? Who wants an office like this?
13:11My friends, well, hello. I hope you don't mind a camera; we're recording a video about digital nomadism.
13:17And so we can all say that we are, in some way, digital nomads.
13:22Until today's office.
13:23Wow!
13:24In a swimsuit, with a beautiful view.
13:27We're here, it's already half past five, so we've closed the office.
13:31We have a kitchen, right? This is someone's house that they rented to us.
13:34We have a kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms there, but I can't believe it, I can't believe that there are people who live like this.
13:41Will you invite me to the pool?
13:42Incredible, she invites me, this is yours, my daughter, go on.
13:47I think these are what are called infinity pools in the technical world of swimming pools, right?
13:52Infinite.
13:53It's as if you can reach the sea from here.
13:55Yes, infinite.
13:56Okay, what are they going to see on your channel from El Salvador right now?
13:58Let's see if they really give away that much of it.
14:01I like, perhaps, not to challenge the media, but to see with my own eyes what the
14:06country you want to show me.
14:08So what we've seen from El Salvador has been a lot of everything.
14:11Okay.
14:11I want to see El Salvador, even if I don't come with a camera, just walk around. What is it that El Salvador tells me?
14:16What does that mean?
14:16Facing the camera without any stance, I've just come, what is there to show?
14:21Okay, show me then.
14:21Well, today they showed a nice pool with a sunset, so I'm going to the pool.
14:26Welcome, feel free, this is your home.
14:28Thank you, Juan.
14:30After spending the day here, I think I understand why so many people come to Bitcoin Beach and decide to buy.
14:36stay.
14:37It's not just about Bitcoin, it's not just about surfing.
14:40It's because here, life doesn't compete with you.
14:42He hugs you.
14:44It's not just about Bitcoin, it's not just about Bitcoin, it's not just about Bitcoin, it's not just about Bitcoin
14:46It's not just about Bitcoin, it's not just about Bitcoin, it's not just about Bitcoin, it's not just about Bitcoin
