The Truth About Building a Bitcoin Community in El Salvador | Jordan Urbs @BuildinElSalvador

Live from Bitcoin Beach in El Zonte, El Salvador, in this episode, I sit down with Jordan Urbs to dive into the behind-the-scenes of the retreats he and his partner Michael at @BuildinElSalvador have been organizing in El Salvador. We talk about the challenges of pulling off these events, the amazing people who attend, and why so many are drawn to El Salvador—especially with the Bitcoin adoption. Jordan shares his story of moving to El Salvador, the surprising similarities, and how both places require you to embrace the unpredictable.

We also chat about the growing community of sovereign individuals visiting El Salvador, many of whom are curious about Bitcoin and are ready to build new lives here. Jordan reflects on the personal connections formed during the retreats and how they’ve become more than just an introduction to the country—they’ve become a journey of personal growth and a chance to meet like-minded people.

If you’ve ever been curious about visiting El Salvador, building a life here, or just want to hear about the magic happening in this country, this episode has you covered.

Join us for an inspiring conversation about Bitcoin community and freedom.
