On today’s episode, NLW is joined by Mike Peterson, director of Bitcoin Beach. Bitcoin Beach is a community project in El Salvador that has spent the last two years helping individuals and companies integrate bitcoin into their daily lives and long-term habits. President Nayib Bukele cited Bitcoin Beach in inspiring El Salvador’s bitcoin legal tender law. 

In this interview, NLW and Mike discuss:

• How he came to reside in El Salvador
• How the bitcoin community project started
• What drove community adoption at the beginning
• How remittances and COVID-19 solidified the value of BTC to the community 
• How bitcoin has changed how people think about investing 
• How international bitcoiners such as Miles Suter and Jack Mallers got to know the project 
• Where the project stands today (complete with 22 different community initiatives) 
• How bitcoiners can get involved
