Tourism numbers can be a healthy sign. Regardless of the outside world and mainstream media, people are coming. And so the there must be plenty of people that come regardless and then share with their friends. The numbers keep growing.
Bitcoin network settles over $109 Trillion
We find that once people understand how the Bitcoin Network provides freedom to transact and then how fast and easy the Lightning Network is, they start to use it more and more.
The phrase “Bitcoin doesn’t care.” is pretty deep and powerful. And that power to transact freely becomes more appealing to people daily as they learn. The number will keep growing.

World Bank Upgrades El Salvador’s Economic Classification
Personally I’m not sure how much I trust the official numbers, but it appears there is strong positive sentiment around El Salvador and it’s current economic trajectory. I think this is a good thing, as it will make it easier to continue the path of growth and funding. As long as El Salvador doesn’t over indulge in more debt. The numbers are positive.
