What does it mean when we say Bitcoin provides financial access?
It is a phrase too often separated from meaning, relegated to press releases, to advertisements, to speeches made in stadiums, in front of people whose lives go on, unaffected by whatever gadget, whatever app, whatever the financial product being “launched” or “released.”
In El Salvador, however, financial access means empowerment. It means access to things lost, access to things others take for granted, to things wanted, to things that before lay out of reach.
