Imagine a town where you can buy almost anything using Bitcoin, a type of digital money! That's Berlín, El Salvador. It's not a big city, but it's become a special place where people use Bitcoin for everyday things, from buying food to getting their motorcycles fixed. This is different from most of El Salvador, where Bitcoin isn't widely used.
- Berlín has a Bitcoin Community Center that helps people learn about and use Bitcoin.
- Over 150 businesses in Berlín accept Bitcoin payments, about 25% of the town's businesses.
- People are learning about Bitcoin at schools and the community center, making it easier to use Bitcoin.
| Fact | Number |
|---|---|
| Population of Berlín | ~20,000 |
| Businesses accepting Bitcoin | >150 |
| New Bitcoin users per week | 3-5 |
Even though Bitcoin's use in El Salvador as a whole wasn't as successful as some expected, Berlín shows how a community can embrace this new way of paying.
