The Plan B conference in El Salvador was a historic event for the country's Bitcoin experiment, with a dual-language agenda providing accessibility for both English and Spanish speakers. The conference showcased the growing interest and involvement of ordinary Salvadorans in Bitcoin and its potential impact on their lives. The Spanish-speaking zone of the conference, held at the Museum of Arts of El Salvador, had a more balanced gender ratio compared to the male-dominated English-speaking side. Attendees discussed plans to integrate Bitcoin into everyday life in El Salvador, focusing on social work and educational opportunities. The event highlighted the country's transition into a Bitcoin-focused nation and its potential as a tech hub, with the relocation of Tether's headquarters considered a significant development. The government's recent decision to no longer require businesses to accept Bitcoin payments was viewed positively by conference attendees, who saw it as a necessary step towards long-term funding and economic growth. Salvadorans view Bitcoin as a tool for empowering and developing their society, rather than prioritizing global adoption.
