It certainly is power to the people!
I really dont know much about the state of Guatemala's government/economy, all I can tell from my time there is that organic adoption is catching on like fire in the wind
Like many places around the world, it seems to me that places without robust financial infrastructure come around to bitcoin more quickly, as it sidesteps a lot of the unnecessary friction that our archaic "modern" systems rely on. It's kinda like water naturally flowing to the easiest path available.
This natural adoption is great, and having it grow organically is even better for grassroots adoption.
I asked about the economy because I’ve been in contact with many people from economically struggling countries or places burdened with excessive taxes. Here, the banking system is modern, and we have a fiat payment system that resembles Lightning in speed and simplicity. I don’t see this as a barrier—rather, it helps explain that it’s a similar system but with a different currency.
Anyway, it makes me really happy to see these images and know that adoption is spreading.
