@kenrutkowski highlights the clear vision and successful implementation by @Bukele in #ElSalvador. From securing the streets from gangs to innovating the economy with #bitcoin. He is through action #1 of what Lee Kwan Yew did in Singapore. Could El Salvador be the next Singapore miracle? Safe streets, trust in government, tourism returning, free market economy...success.

@JoeNakamoto A disingenuous rage bating fud piece at best. Comingeling a bunch of completely unrelated issues and self-proclaiming it to be “journalism” is 🥱

1/ Most El Salvador content online is written for single guys moving to Bitcoin country.

We view EL Salvador through the lens of family - with our toddlers and retired parents.

Here's everything — for families. 🧵

In 1959, Fidel Castro promised to redistribute Cuba's wealth and create equality for all. Within a decade, the island that once exported sugar and cigars to the world couldn't even keep its own lights on. The wealthy fled, but instead of their riches trickling down to the poor, everyone just became equally poor together.

The revolucionarios had calculated that seizing the means of production would mean seizing prosperity itself. What they discovered instead was that prosperity isn't sitting in some vault waiting to be redistributed—it's created daily by millions of voluntary exchanges, investments, and entrepreneurial risks. When you abolish those mechanisms, you don't redistribute wealth; you redistribute poverty.

Today's politicians make the same mathematical error Castro did: they see inequality and assume it represents a fixed pie that just needs better slicing. They never ask why some pies grow while others shrink, or why the countries promising equality most loudly seem to deliver scarcity most efficiently.

The cruel irony is that the only truly "equal" outcome socialism reliably produces is making everyone equally worse off than they started.

Not a reason for why we moved from Sweden in 2021 but definitely a factor why we are staying in El Salvador

[World of Statistics @stats_feed]

🇸🇻🇸🇪 El Salvador is now ranked as safer than Sweden.

U.S. State Department advisories and other reports indicate El Salvador has seen dramatic safety improvements under President Nayib Bukele's anti-gang crackdown, earning a Level 1 "Exercise Normal Precautions" rating, making it officially safer for travelers than Sweden, which remains at Level 2 ("Exercise Increased Caution").

@nayibbukele We actually prefer El Salvador’s healthcare system to Sweden’s — it stands out for the warmth and genuine care shown by the people working in it. 💙

@Halstonvalencia @laea51 Funny enough for the past 4-5 years since moving to El Salvador I always answer the USCBP’s question about what I do for work with; “I work in Bitcoin” and I usually get big smiles and not too seldom do they tell me about their own crypto portfolio.
