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.

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
