"I spent the past week in El Salvador for the third time in one year, and it's clear the country is undergoing a real transformation. Not theoretical, not surface-level - a shift in how people live, think, build, and imagine their future. And the moment that crystallized this transformation came at the end of the week, during a private dinner with President Nayib Bukele, which I was privileged to take part in."
"I didn't expect that when I approached him at the end of the dinner to take a photo and said, "Hi, I'm Efrat," he would answer immediately, before I could explain who I am:"I know you, I've seen your podcast." It was one of those moments you don't forget, because it made the entire week feel connected to something larger unfolding in this country."
"Three events took place during the week - Reclaiming Health, Adopting Bitcoin, and Bitcoin Histórico - each revealing a different layer of El Salvador's trajectory. "Reclaiming Health Symposium" led by Salvadoran Dr. Kenneth Fernández-Taylor, explored the intersection of sound health and sound money. Some of the conversations centered on how unsound money and high-time preference shape stress, uncertainty, and long-term health."
El Salvador is experiencing a multifaceted transformation affecting daily life, public safety, economic policy, and national imagination. A private dinner with President Nayib Bukele underscored a tangible sense of momentum and personal connection between leadership and citizens. Three events—Reclaiming Health, Adopting Bitcoin, and Bitcoin Histórico—revealed complementary layers of change: public-health perspectives linking sound money to long-term wellbeing; policy shifts embracing Bitcoin as currency; and cultural-historical engagement with Bitcoin adoption. Conversations at the Reclaiming Health Symposium connected unsound money and high-time preference to stress, uncertainty, and deteriorating long-term health. The convergence of safety gains and economic shifts is reshaping how people plan, build, and envision the future.
