El Salvador is incredibly welcoming, and there's still plenty of room for now. However, the influx of both the diaspora and Bitcoiners is off the charts and price of real estate is blowing up. Something to keep in mind for long term planning.

@Onions El Salvador can be as affordable or as expensive as you wish.
Hard to disagree with that and unfortunately it doesn't seem like it'll go away.
It seems to me that the only protections we have against communism are bitcoin and food sovereignty.
