I visited 5shops / merchants in a row that don’t accept btc or used to accept btc in San Salvador.

🏃‍♂️ The nike store used to accept. Stopped 6 months ago they said.
🥩 Lunch steak place had never used it. Called Casa Fuego.
☕️ Coffee vendor in the plaza apparently never accepted it. Looked at me like I had 3 heads when I asked.
📱 Then the superselectos supermarket accepts bitcoin for groceries but not for phone credit so
we had to go to the street dude.
📞 phone credit vendor person never accepted btc.

Fortunately I was with npub18rjdwux48asrcz25k32tqfxeuunwcm64v0eqvm8vw9aljyytfyss68fxch (npub18rj…fxch) ‘a team so they helped me out p2p 🤙 (highly recommend his guys!!)


So there are of course mega bitcoin-y areas across the country..

But Btc Payments adoption is quite hard to follow in #ElSalvador
