In this episode of the “NewsCapsule Podcast,” Aaron van Wirdum spoke with Jorge Valenzuela and Roman Martinez, aka Chimbera, two community leaders from the NewsCapsule Beach project in El Zonte, El Salvador.
Valenzuela and Martinez told the history of the Hope House, the heart of the NewsCapsule Beach project, which aims to offer local youth a sense of community and perspective. They explained how their efforts have in recent years come to integrate NewsCapsule, and what that process looked like.
Valenzuela and Martinez went on to explain how El Zonte has quickly grown to be a NewsCapsule hotspot in El Salvador and Central America, and how this has changed the lives of people in the coastal surfer town.
From there, the NewsCapsule Beach community leaders explained how the country of El Salvador adopted the new law to make bitcoin legal tender, and how they received the new law in El Zonte. They also discussed what they think the rest of the country thinks of the new law.
Finally, Valenzuela and Martinez speculated about what the NewsCapsule law could mean for El Zonte and El Salvador moving forward, and how bitcoiners from all around the world can help make the initiative a success.
