El Salvador to Host ‘Historic Bitcoin’ Festival with Free Family Activities.



El Salvador is preparing for an unprecedented celebration with “Historic Bitcoin,” an international event that will take place on November 12 and 13, 2025, in the Historic Center of San Salvador. Organized by the National Bitcoin Office (ONBTC), the festival aims to merge technology, education, and culture, transforming the heart of the capital into a global meeting point for Bitcoin innovation.

According to the ONBTC, “Historic Bitcoin” will bring together leading voices in the cryptocurrency ecosystem, including Ricardo Salinas Pliego, Jeff Booth, Max Keiser, Jack Mallers, Pierre Rochard, Jimmy Song, Darin Feinstein, Lina Seiche, and Stacy Herbert. The event will serve as a platform to discuss the future of money, financial sovereignty, and the cultural dimensions of decentralization.

In addition to the main conference, the ONBTC confirmed that the public will enjoy a wide variety of free activities in Plaza Gerardo Barrios. “There will be many free events throughout the day, including face painting for children ages 0 to 7 and mural creation for youth ages 7 to 17,” said Stacy Herbert, director of the ONBTC. A professional graffiti mural will also be painted and later displayed on a national building, symbolizing creativity and innovation.

The festival will feature open Bitcoin classes taught by students from the CUBO+ program, as well as evening broadcasts of keynote speeches on large LED screens with live translation, ensuring that everyone can participate without needing a ticket. These activities reflect the ONBTC’s vision of making Bitcoin accessible to all Salvadorans and strengthening El Salvador’s role as a global pioneer in Bitcoin adoption.

Discounted tickets for those wishing to attend the main conference are available at bitcoinhistorico.com and can be purchased exclusively with Bitcoin for $21 for local attendees. Organizers highlight that “a new era requires new ideas and new thinkers,” inviting both Salvadorans and international visitors to join a celebration that unites knowledge, culture, and technology.

Through “Historic Bitcoin,” El Salvador continues to position itself as the epicenter of Bitcoin innovation, promoting a vision of progress, inclusion, and economic transformation for the future.

This kind of Bitcoin education in El Salvador will definitely have positive results for the country. The aim of teaching students about Bitcoin is not only to prioritize financial independence, but also to teach them about a new technology that is emerging. Currently, in El Salvador, several organizations are helping the government to help students in that country, such as

1. CUBO+
2. La Casa Del Bitcoin (Paxful Initiative)
3. Mi Primer Bitcoin
4. Node Nation, and some other organizations are taking responsibility and teaching students about Bitcoin.

The above organizations educate El Salvadoran students about financial knowledge, technology, and various topics related to Bitcoin.

Such steps by the government of El Salvador will definitely provide some benefits. When students gain a good knowledge of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency, they will be able to create various related jobs in their own country and abroad.

Being knowledgeable about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency can help new entrepreneurs improve their businesses by adopting Bitcoin. They will be able to handle everything from accepting digital payments to transacting with foreign customers.

They will also gain a better understanding of economics, especially how inflation devalues ​​money and what to do to protect against inflation.

Argentina and El Salvador Deepen Ties in Science, Technology, and Social Development


The governments of El Salvador and Argentina have signed the Fourth Technical-Scientific Cooperation Program, marking a renewed commitment to advancing South-South collaboration for the 2025–2027 period. The agreement was formalized during the IV Meeting of the Joint Commission on Technical and Scientific Cooperation, held at the Salvadoran Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Karla de Palma, Director General of the Salvadoran Agency for International Cooperation (ESCO), emphasized that “this partnership further strengthens the excellent friendship between our nations and deepens our joint work in key areas of shared interest.”

During his visit, Estrémé also toured the Urban Centers for Wellbeing and Opportunities (CUBOS) to learn about their social impact and explore new avenues for collaboration. The event was attended by Salvadoran and Argentine diplomats, including ambassadors Miriam Elena Mena and Sergio Luis Iaciuk.

Look, IMF is a donor organization, they give loans to different countries and take them back with interest. So if any country is facing economic shortage, then it must take a loan, in that case IMF helps by giving a loan. But in this place El Salvador takes a loan and with that money it eliminates the economic shortage of the country and there may be a possibility of using it in the case of Bitcoin as well (guess). In that case IMF this organization thinks that El Salvador is buying Bitcoin with this fiat loan of ours, due to which they impose a ban.
But El Salvador is adamant in buying Bitcoin, no matter how many bans come, they do not care about it, but are busy buying Bitcoin regularly and holding it for a long time.

I don't think there is any government in the world that will see or hear what El Salvador government is doing that will not wish to do the same thing, just that they don't have the knowledge El Salvador government have to make cryptocurrency legal tender in their country.

El Salvador government have conscience of their citizens not to use regulatory to frustrate their citizens that will like to show interest in cryptocurrency. There are some governments that will have this opportunity to make cryptocurrency legal tender in their country, they will make it hard for people not to show interest because of the high tax government will impose in cryptocurrency.

Currently, the young generation of most countries in the world is turning to Bitcoin because in this era of online, they are getting to know about Bitcoin very well and their interest in Bitcoin is increasing day by day. I think you may be one of the young people in your country and that is why you are discussing the issue of giving legal validity to Bitcoin in your country. Even if you want to decide to use Bitcoin as an alternative currency, the government of a country does not take it easily. Maybe the president of El Salvador has taken such a decision, but it was very challenging for him, but why would the government of your country take such a challenge where it can lose its power. In using Bitcoin as an alternative currency, your country will consider many things such as what is the education rate in your country, which profession people are more involved in, or what is the financial condition of your country. If all these things are positive, then the government of your country can think about it, but it is a long way off to decide on this. 

Continue using Bitcoin as you currently do and hope that one day you too will be able to use Bitcoin directly in your country and purchase various products with Bitcoin.

There is nothing to be expected from most leaders today, because what matters most to them is how they can stay in power longer and maintain their positions. They do not really care about how Bitcoin can be used as an innovation that brings positive change to the country, how it can expand financial inclusion, and provide opportunities for young people to be empowered through knowledge about Bitcoin and economic impact of digital currency.

The people of El Salvador are very fortunate to have a leader like Nayib Bukele because he was able to see the potential of Bitcoin and adopt it in their country, and he also cares about teaching Bitcoin and financial literacy to young people through their education curriculum. This is something that is rarely done by other leaders, and this is what makes Nayib Bukele a good leader.

It seem Africans will be the next to take the lead in bitcoin adoption as a legal tender, following El-Salvador and Central African Republic, while Kenya may be the second in Africa after CAR, but all these are bills, we don't know how long it might take for approval by the governments in their respective countries, it will be a good thing if the majority of the African countries were able to realize the importance of growing up their economy under a decentralized economy, because we can see the way a number of their teaming youths keep to advancing in the use of bitcoin for their own individual benefits without the support of government.
