Well it’s hard to say exactly as I did not fully immerse into it. The markets themselves seemed to function well and there are a number of vendors who accept Bitcoin as payment in the area. The hard thing for us is that the town of Uvita did not appeal to us at all. So we didn’t desire to spend a lot of time there. To really understand how effectively it is working you’d need to spend time in the local Bitcoin community and talk with them about it. We did notice local Costa Rican vendors taking sats as payment and I’m sure this is serving them well.
