Bitcoin Country: An Evening with Sandy from El Salvador
Beech Kombucha, 3100 Freemont Terrace S, St. Petersburg, FL, USJoin us at Beech Kombucha on Friday, August 14th from 7–9 PM for a special evening with Sandy, a lifelong Salvadoran, certified tour guide, and founder of Sandy Waves Travel, the bitcoin travel concierge in El Salvador.
El Salvador made history in 2021 as the first country to adopt bitcoin as legal tender. But what does that actually look like on the ground? Sandy has lived every chapter of the story, from volcano-powered mining and Bitcoin Beach, to the everyday reality of merchants, families, and travelers using sats in the wild.
She'll share what bitcoin adoption really means in her country, what's changed for regular Salvadorans, and why so many bitcoiners are visiting and moving there. Whether you're brand new to bitcoin, planning your first trip to ES, or curious what a bitcoin standard actually feels like, this is a rare chance to hear it firsthand from someone who lives it every day.
And yes, Beech Kombucha accepts bitcoin!
