Jack Mallers and Mike Peterson share two unforgettable stories from Bitcoin’s early days in El Salvador.
Strike once tested a small ten-cent reward for new users, and the strong response showed how even tiny incentives could spark Bitcoin adoption in El Salvador. They also tell how local kids used Strike and Bitrefill to buy Free Fire game credits online for the first time. Since they didn’t have credit cards, Bitcoin let them make legit online purchases, surprising a shop owner who thought the system had been hacked.
