Everyone keeps asking me whether Salvadorans really use Bitcoin. Ask people around you and you’ll hear the same thing: most don’t, most haven’t—most of the older generation has never even been exposed to it… but there’s more.
Meet Pierre Valient. He’ll tell you that the critics aren’t entirely wrong. He’ll also tell you why all of this is about to change dramatically.
Born in Santa Ana, raised in Los Angeles, he studied English for years in a military camp in Dubai with special forces, then returned to his hometown to open his own school. He isn’t a Bitcoin supporter. He doesn’t even accept it as payment.
That’s where it gets crazy!
In 2023, he picked up a passenger who couldn’t make change, so he gave her a free ride. She invited him to a Bitcoin conference. The rejected $20 ended up being the best deal in El Salvador.
After two days of conversation, he learned about wallets, self-custody, and why many of his neighbors received wallets and $30 without any instructions—then sold them before they realized what they had. He clearly understands why adoption by his generation has stalled. And he can see it isn’t permanent.
So he’s building something for the Bitcoin enthusiasts who fly in every week. Cars are ready at the airport, the rooms are equipped with Starlink, and there’s a Bitcoin ATM in the lobby—everything is priced with no hidden fees.
He’s hiring locals. He’s looking for a second location. He’ll tell you straight: the younger generation is only just beginning.
This unexpected conversation has opened up curiosity about Bitcoin for many people in El Salvador… but very few ever hear directly from locals. Whatever your stance on Bitcoin in El Salvador, you’ll want to hear it!
