If you’re thinking about moving to El Salvador, one of the easiest ways to get acclimated, avoid frustration, and find your footing is to plug into @BuildInES. It’s the ecosystem I wish I had when I first arrived.
Excited to be back at @btchistoricosv this year!
Looking forward to sharing what we’ve been building and connecting with more entrepreneurs and builders helping shape El Salvador’s future.
See you in November! 🇸🇻⚡
BITCOIN HISTÓRICO | New Speaker Announcement
BITCOIN COUNTRY IS FOR BUILDERS.
Michael Ruiz @sovmindset , founder of Build In El Salvador @BuildInES , is returning to Bitcoin Histórico.
An entrepreneur and writer, Michael has called El Salvador home since 2024. He’s been building connections among the entrepreneurs, investors, and creators putting down roots in Bitcoin Country.
Through Build In El Salvador, he brings people together through workshops, roundtables, retreats, and community events, helping them find collaborators, share knowledge, and turn ideas into projects. His media work highlights the people and businesses taking shape on the ground.
El Salvador’s next chapter takes people willing to show up and build. Michael is helping those people find each other.

El Salvador is on its way to become start-up country. Lots of talent coming through here. I’m excited about the innovation that’s about to happen!
Had a fun time shooting promos for the @BuildInES Networking Night on Nov. 14th!
If you’re coming to El Salvador in November, I highly recommend checking it out.
It’s a great opportunity to connect with local entrepreneurs and people building lives here. 🇸🇻
“Follow your dreams”
Sure, but put some thought, rationality, and prayer behind it, otherwise could be a bad outcome.
If you can find comfort in uncertainty, these are really exciting times to be living in when looking at it from a civilizational time lens. Embrace the unknown.

Chronic illness brought @uncertainadept to El Salvador because she had no other choice left. Six years later, she calls it home 🇸🇻
After years of declining health, she discovered circadian biology and her life changed completely.
It was El Salvador’s natural healing properties, including volcanic soil, equatorial UV index and a consistent light-dark cycle, that helped her get her health back.
Watch the full episode to hear more about circadian biology, health sovereignty, and what it means to build a win-win future.

He built a way to pass your Bitcoin to your heirs with zero third parties involved!
@ericscalibur saw a gap few Bitcoiners think about - what happens to your stack when you're gone?
Most inheritance plans hand control to third parties. He built something different.
Encryption locks your seed phrase, and a Deadman Switch monitors that you're still active. Miss your check-ins long enough, and it fires one last email to your beneficiary with everything they need.
No one else involved.
He calls it setting up your last Bitcoin transaction. And in many ways, your most important one. 🙌🏼

"Once we get the money right, what do we do then?"
"Fix the money, fix the world, but it's gonna take human action, and I think that comes through entrepreneurship."
- Michael Ruiz @sovmindset on why he created @BuildInES
"We want to be the voice of the entrepreneur."

"When you get really smart, forward thinking, independent minds together looking at problems to solve, and you put them together to collaborate, amazing things can happen."
"El Salvador is going to be the test grounds of that type of collaboration."
Recorded at the National Palace during the inaugural @btchistoricosv. Michael is one of the speakers at Round 2 this November 11-12.

Check out the quoted post about the @BuildInES Networking Night two days after Bitcoin Histórico as part of Freedom Month:
If there’s one thing that distinguishes being in El Salvador from being in many other parts of the world, it’s the feeling that this country’s best days are still ahead of it.
In a lot of places, it feels like things are going to get worse before they get better.
