Bitstein is Founder and President of the Nakamoto Institute, advancing and preserving Bitcoin knowledge since 2013.

El Salvador in 2021 became the first country in the world to make Bitcoin legal tender.

Bitcoin Histórico is a unique conference at the National Palace organized by El Salvador's Bitcoin Office showcasing the many ways it's leading in Bitcoin adoption: strategic reserve, educational initiatives, circular economies, government policies, and more.

This interview at the inaugural Bitcoin Histórico last November is also available on the new YouTube channel for the Bitcoin Country Podcast:

In this interview, Bitstein and I discussed:

- the backstory of founding the Nakamoto Institute

- some examples of their most famous articles and terms they've popularized such as "speculative attack" and "hyperbitcoinization"

- his first impression of El Salvador

- why it's important for Bitcoiners to understand history

Bitstein will return for the second annual Bitcoin Histórico this November 11-12.

Get your tickets at BitcoinHistorico.com to join us at the National Palace for another unforgettable experience in the most "hyperbitcoinized" country on earth.
