One of the consequences that gave rise to the adoption of bitcoin (BTC) in El Salvador was the global recognition of Bitcoin Beach, a citadel that has the main cryptocurrency as its central axis and is a model that has spread around the world generating diverse experiences.

Patrick Melder of Bitcoin Lake Guatemala, commented that he has been learning about bitcoin forever. With the goal of serving and empowering people.. “I love helping people, even as a surgeon, and all these ideas and thoughts didn’t materialize until I came to Bitcoin Beach last year and met the whole team.

When asked about the challenges of creating a bitcoin citadel, Melder said the first problem was. the language barrier, since he does not speak Spanish, and the other is that he does not live in Guatemala.. However, he says that to overcome the obstacles you need to have a team that “believes in what you are doing and wants to support it, and you have to have trusted leaders in the community to work with.”
