Happy Independence Day El Salvador. 🇸🇻🚀

Sights and sounds of Santa Tecla, El Salvador.

Roadtrips in El Salvador be like...

It wasn’t too long ago that these girls couldn’t walk through these alleyways in San Marcos without being confronted by gang members. Today, the same passage is lined with flowers and peace.

Awesome hike today. Finished with a full panoramic view of the San Salvador area, stretching from Lake Ilopango all the way to Santa Tecla. Pretty cool!

I’ve become an expert at hiking mountains in flip-flops here in El Salvador. 😅

Another epic Sunday in El Salvador… 🇸🇻

The Fiat system in an image:

The new El Salvador is fun AF and full of life. 🙌🏼

Looking forward to the 3rd annual @MaxAndStacyGolf invitational! It’s always a fun time! If you’ve been wanting to check out El Salvador this event is a good reason to come down. bitcoinsports.network/max-an…

Going on 44, no steroids, no peptides, no trt, just beef, barbells, and ES sun. Let’s get after it. 💪🏽

It’s happening

BIP-110 has been a hot topic in El Salvador, so I flew to the Florida Everglades to hang out with @EricVStacks and get his perspective for @BuildInES. We shot guns, talked Bitcoin, and ended up having an epic convo. 🔥 Full vid: piped.video/E_sBOLCt514

Epic day at the range yesterday with @EricVStacks. Shooting guns and talking BIP-110. Doesn't get better than that. Full convo coming out soon.

Visited my dude @MURPHSLIFE today, where we got to see the update with his farm, and see him uplift 10 families through organic farming. Super inspiring. 🚀

What happens when you start outsourcing your thinking to AI? Last week at the @sovaisv summit, I sat down with @JohnNosta to explore this question. AI not just as a tool… but as a force reshaping human cognition. This was a good one! Full episode: piped.video/ClOWPRBFMoY

Im sitting here at the airport, reflecting on the @sovaisv summit and can’t help but think, what an event! Honestly, I’ve only now fully recovered and am processing everything. It might be the most intense work I’ve done since being here in El Salvador. But in the best way possible. I had the opportunity to sit down for about a dozen interviews and podcasts with builders on the ground and speakers at the summit. The logistics alone were a job in themselves. Then stack two full days of back-to-back conversations, and the pressure of being at the National Palace, and the caliber of people I was speaking to… This one pushed me to my limits. By the end, I was exhausted. But during it all, I was on fire. 🔥 And I’ll tell you why. First, the people. If you really are the average of those around you, then these two days leveled me up. El Salvador isn’t just home to incredible people. It’s also attracting top talent from all over. Everyone from big players to independent entrepreneurs, these are people with real vision. Hearing their stories, their optimism, their insights… that energy is contagious and it carried me through every conversation. Second, the signal. You have a government actively investing in its people and its future by embracing technological progress. Hosting Bitcoin and AI events inside the National Palace isn’t random. It’s a statement. The symbolism is the message. This country isn’t waiting around. It’s positioning itself to lead the world in this new digital revolution. El Salvador is being built for the future. Third, the environment. The National Palace is something else. History. Detail. Beauty. You step into a place like that and it raises your standard. It reminds you that excellence isn’t optional, it’s expected. The level of detail put into the decor of summit, the atmosphere… it was incredible. It makes something very clear. Beauty matters. The revitalization of Centro Histórico is going to pay dividends far beyond aesthetics. Being in that setting filled me with inspiration and It’s also impacting how people feel about their country. What I mean is this wasn’t just an event for elites. Yes, there were ambassadors, military officials, CEOs, and thought leaders. But there were also everyday people. And a lot of young Salvadorans. Some on my own team. For a couple of them, it was their first time ever stepping inside the National Palace. Watching them take it in, seeing that sense of pride kick in… realizing they are living through a pivotal moment in their country’s history… and they’re taking part in it, that’s hard to put into words. But it was powerful. It gave me even more conviction in the direction this country is heading. El Salvador has decided to put itself on a path to abundance and its bringing its people with them. Just want to say a big thank you to @sovaisv and the entire team for putting this together. Thank you Stacy, Max, and Jethro for the opportunity. And respect to @nayibbukele for continuing to pave the way toward prosperity. Interviews coming soon. Follow @BuildInES to stay connected. 🙌🏼

I had the pleasure of speaking to @JohnNosta today at the @sovaisv summit in El Salvador. He’s exploring really important philosophical questions around AI. Highly recommend his book “The Borrowed Mind” and check out our conversation when it comes out too!

Day one of the @sovaisv summit is a wrap. And I’m leaving incredibly energized and inspired. I don’t think people understand how cool it is to be Building In El Salvador.

Packed house at the National Palace of El Salvador for the @sovaisv summit. Aesthetics are on point. 🤩

How I unplug from my work 🇸🇻

One of my favorite aspects of living in El Salvador is that there is no daylight savings time. To have the sun rise and set around the same time year round, does wonders for your circadian rhythm.

Dialing into a flow-state with life in El Salvador 🇸🇻 So much cool stuff happening here.

What are you doing on a Saturday night? Monitoring the situation with @JethroToro.

Mark Twain on using social media: “Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.”

I know what you're saying Joe... I got me a great companion too.

Pumped to release another epic conversation. This one with @TomTaberHODL. We talk El Salvador, the Beef Initiative, and rebuilding the cattle industry from the ground up. It's all incredible inspiring. 🇸🇻 🐄🚀 Watch full convo here: piped.video/watch?v=KcV9Dhz9…

Hi 👋 From El Salvador 🇸🇻

A fellow Bitcoiner here in El Salvador is in need. Andy Chambers is currently fighting an aggressive form of lymphoma. I had the chance to interview Andy not long ago about the learning center he built at @Bitcoinbeach, and he’s someone who has genuinely contributed to this community. Now it’s our turn to return the favor. If you feel called to support, you can donate B+ blood locally or contribute financially here: gogetfunding.com/help-andy-f…

Stoked to share this epic conversation with @jamierobinson. We covered his journey out of Canada to El Salvador, his thoughts on what's happening in this country, and the businesses he’s built in Bitcoin Country since making the move. 📽️Check it out here: piped.video/nlG8JTwvd4Y

My dude went from scolding me about where I parked to showing me how to throw a uppercut. Cool guy. Only in El Salvador. 🇸🇻

El Salvador is made for crazy ideas and bold dreams. Let me explain... I recently interviewed Flowmane Pupusa for a @BuildSalvador article, and something unexpected came up in the conversation. He laughed at the idea of being called an entrepreneur and builder in El Salvador. In his own words, he had never really considered himself entrepreneurial at all. He had ideas, sure, but he never pursued them. That wasn’t because he lacked drive. It was because in Norway and much of Europe, ambition carries a social cost. Big dreams are treated with suspicion. Bold visions invite ridicule. Instead of encouragement, you meet layers of regulation, pressure to stay modest, and an unspoken message not to stand out too much. And if you somehow do succeed despite all of that, the state steps in to claim a criminally large portion of the rewards. At both the community and institutional level, entrepreneurial vision is discouraged rather than celebrated. Yet, here Flowmane is in El Salvador, building a 170-acre self-sustaining farm, paying workers in Bitcoin, creating an academy, and designing an entire ecosystem from the ground up. That contrast is worth paying attention to. What I’m seeing here is something deeper than just business opportunity. It’s suppressed ambition finally finding room to breathe. Ideas that were kept quiet for years suddenly have space to be spoken out loud. Energy that had nowhere to go gets redirected into projects, companies, communities. Across much of the Western world, highly entrepreneurial people often feel abnormal. Their ambitions seem excessive. Their ideas sound unrealistic. Their risk tolerance feels strange. Many end up shrinking themselves to fit the expectations around them. El Salvador feels different. When you’re surrounded by Bitcoiners and builders who think beyond the constraints of the fiat system, conversations naturally drift toward the “impossible.” People talk about parallel economies, new communities, long-term visions. A casual chat can turn sci-fi and cosmic pretty quickly. Ideas that would be dismissed elsewhere are explored seriously here. Risk-takers are admired. Ambitious thinking is normal. Execution feels socially supported. That shift in environment can take someone who has never started a business and turn them into a confident builder willing to pursue a real vision. As we see in Flowmane's case, community permission matters more than we realize. And that’s a big deal for El Salvador. What’s coming to El Salvador isn’t just tourism or investment. It’s attracting a specific type of person. Orange pilled Bitcoin-based engineers, farmers, founders, and creators, all guided by values and driven to build from first principles. People who care about sound money, real production, family, sovereignty, and long time horizons. When that type of human capital concentrates in one tiny country, something rare happens. Ideas turn into infrastructure. Conversations become companies. Experiments become new social models. A nation begins to upgrade not just economically, but culturally and spiritually. El Salvador is becoming a workshop for the future. And Flowmane’s journey exemplifies that. A man who once kept his ambitions quiet in Norway is now experimenting with food sovereignty, education, and parallel systems. The same ideas that had no oxygen in Europe found open sky here. That’s what this place can do to a person. So, If you’ve ever felt like your ideas were too big for the room you are in, this country might be the room you were looking for. And we’re here to help. If you’re curious about building a business and a life in this country, follow @BuildSalvador and subscribe to our publication. We’ll keep you up to date on the opportunity that is unfolding in El Salvador and help you gain the clarity and conviction to take your next steps. The frontier is open, and the next chapter is being written by those willing to build it. 🚀

Stoked to have just published a conversation with @CheritoCafe. 🙌 Jorge left the corporate world of the U.S. to come back to El Salvador and grow some of the finest coffee in the country, all on a Bitcoin standard. Here is his story->piped.video/8-9Yn4A67rU

Just released a powerful conversation with Aaron Murphy from @MURPHSLIFE. We talked about what it takes to change your life after hitting rock bottom and chasing a calling to build something bigger than yourself. It was epic! Watch it here: 👉 piped.video/zVg3zlfyyAo?si=08ff…

Just released an awesome conversation with Marc from @bitcoin_hotel. We discussed decentralizing life, flag theory, fiat vs Bitcoin, solitude, sovereignty, Europe vs El Salvador, and leading by example. It was a good one! Check it out here: 👉 piped.video/3gtEs2tF1Lw

Yesterday, El Salvador reminded me of its magic once again. A chance meeting on the beach with @bitcoin_hotel turned into a deep, practical, and philosophical conversation. Will be released soon. The people this country attracts is the signal. 📡🇸🇻
