Our story starts over a decade ago on the coast of El Salvador, in a tiny village called El Zonte. When faced with the tough decision of leaving their country in search of a brighter future, two youngsters decided to buck the trend. They would stay, standing up to the challenges of their land with the dream of building a better tomorrow for their own community.

Years of efforts bringing education, hope and opportunity to the local children led to a bigger dream altogether: to create a local bitcoin economy that could transform their village completely. Little did they know this would ultimately lead to the government of El Salvador passing an historic new law, making it the first country in the world to declare bitcoin as legal tender.
