I’m on a mission to change the world. Here’s my story: I used to work in the boring world of banks, “helping” people with loans and credit cards🥴 But one day, I took a trip to El Zonte & I discovered #Bitcoin from a lady who sold us a bag of ice. We bought it out of curiosity, not knowing how this episode would change my life During the pandemic, I saw a newspaper story about Bitcoin being called “digital gold”. I wanted to learn more, but it was hard to find information in Spanish. I searched on Facebook but I couldn't find any helpful groups but scams. In 2021, our president Nayib Bukele announced #Bitcoin as legal tender in #ElSalvador. I was SHOCKED about it & started explaining to my family and friends what this meant. Little did I know, my life was about to change. One day I lost my job and started driving for Uber. But one of those trips changed everything. Four foreigners got in, and we heard news about protests against #Bitcoin adoption. One of the passengers was John Dennehy, founder of nostr:npub17cyatz6z2dzcw6xehtcm9z45m76lde5smxdmyasvs00r4pqv863qrs4ml3 , and he asked me if I could give him an interview. That’s how I became the first student of nostr:npub17cyatz6z2dzcw6xehtcm9z45m76lde5smxdmyasvs00r4pqv863qrs4ml3 and received classes directly from John I quickly understood everything about #Bitcoin . This was just the beginning. Then, I had an idea: I wanted to offer my taxi service and accept #Bitcoin. It felt like magic once I began doing it! my first announcement for AdoptingBTC2021 That’s how I became the first driver in #ElSalvador to accept #Bitcoin & named my company ‘Bitdriver’ From working in the traditional financial system to being able to provide transportation services for the huge amount of people visiting #ElSalvador Working on education at nostr:npub17cyatz6z2dzcw6xehtcm9z45m76lde5smxdmyasvs00r4pqv863qrs4ml3 has changed my life. And just as I change, I want the lives of my people, of my country to change, and that can only be achieved with education and patience. We knew we had to #startsmall before we expanded, but now we’re ready to go to the next level. We’ve received donations and support from Jack , Greg Foss, Bitcoin Beach, Blink Wallet , Bitfinex , Looking Glass and PayStand And we are just getting started. Onward!
