E leʻo A Bitcoin Mea na tupu. Ma, Aisea na i ai le Faletupe Tutotonu i El Salvador?
Na amata le vaiaso i faletupe tutotonu ma pulega tau tupe mai atunuu e 44 arriving in El Salvador. The mainstream media ignored it completely. The IMF started sweating. President Bukele started meme-ing. Everybody assumed they were there to learn about bitcoin. It was so obvious that nobody questioned it.

Well, as it turns out, the representatives were there for an annual event by the Alliance for Financial Inclusion (AFI). The organization describes its objective as, “Empowering policymakers & regulatory institutions to advance financial inclusion for the poorest populations.” On the first three days, the central bankers saw panels and formed working groups in the Sheraton Presidente Hotel in San Salvador. On the fourth day, they went to Bitcoin Beach, visited the Hope House, and paid for it all with Lightning.

“O lo'o fa'amoemoe le vaega galulue e tu'uina atu fa'ata'ita'iga fa'apitoa ma ta'iala fa'atonutonu i mataupu taua ma le le fo'ia o faiga fa'avae i faiga fa'ata'ita'iga o faiga fa'avae, auivi, ma mea faigaluega ona o lenei felagolagoma'i ma fausia ai le ivi pito i tua o le AFI.

In any case, as the video above shows, the central bankers screamed “bitcoin! "
O le a le mea moni na faia e le au Faletupe Tutotonu?
Mai le eleele, o le lipoti lea a Galoy i le mea na tupu has the goods. It concludes, “through firsthand experience, this group of central bankers is seeing what Bitcoin can do for people left out of the current financial system.” On those first few days, the central bankers saw a panel about the subject at hand.
“There was one Bitcoin session. Roman Martinez (Chimbera) and Nicolas Burtey shared the story of Bitcoin Beach and provided an introduction to Bitcoin and the Lightning Network”
On those first few days, the central bankers got bitcoin wallets set up.“Outside the conference room the Bitcoin Beach Wallet team set up tables where attendees were shown how to download and use a Lightning wallet.” Those would come in handy on the fourth day, when the organizers took them to El Zonte AKA Bitcoin Beach. Over there, the central bankers paid for everything with their new wallets and “learned how to exchange Bitcoin for dollars at an ATM.”

The central bankers came looking for financial inclusion and they got it in spades. It’s as Bitcoinist said in olau lipoti muamua e uiga i le tulaga:

“El Salvador which is the first country to accept Bitcoin as legal tender will no doubt be the footprint of adoption for other countries interested in making such a move. It is still less than a year after the implementation but the president revealed that they would be discussing how beneficial using BTC as legal tender had been for the country and its citizens.”
You can’t unring a bell. Those central bankers from 44 countries where the traditional banking system failed to accomplish its goals, now know about bitcoin. They’ve seen the future and there’s no turning back. We’ll feel the ripples emanating from this event soon enough.
