 The teaser at 3am while inebriated in a hotel lobby was great, but this full version is amazing. Thanks for both 🥹 
 Hahahaha I forgot about that. 

Glad you like it! 
 
 thanks for the video. realy great information from another side of bitcoin world.  
 lihat video ini bikin lebih bersyukur tinggal di Indonesia. kehidupan di cuba secara ekonomi ternyata sulit sekali. ekonomi sulit akibat embargo dari dunia luar. karena negara komunis, di kuba semuanya diatur dan dikuasai oleh pemerintah. mata uangnya kena hiperinflasi, hanya berlaku didalam negeri saja, tidak ada minimarket apalagi supermarket swasta. minimarket adanya milik pemerintah, namun untuk membeli produk yg dijual didalamnya warga harus antri dan hanya bisa bayar pakai uang semacam CBDC yang dikeluarkan oleh pemerintah. untuk mendapatkannya warga  harus menukarkan uang peso atau dolarnya mengikuti kurs yang telah ditetapkan. meski bayar namun kuallitas barang yang dijual seringkali  rendah. internet pelan, bahkan makan ikan telur dan susu sudah  termasuk makanan mewah. wow... 

bersyukur ada bitcoin. bitcoin melindungi tabungan warga kuba dari inflasi, dibandingkan menyimpan uang dalam peso kuba (cup) ataupun dollar.  btw tidak ada cex di kuba. binance, coinbase, dsb nya dilarang beroperasi. warga kuba mendapatkan bitcoin lewat transaksi p2p, lewat group telegram maupun pertemuan2 kumpul2 bitcoiner. dibalik kesulitan2 ini, justru ada hikmahnya, yakni warga justru belajar mendapatkan bitcoin tanpa perlu kyc, tanpa perlu memberikan data diri ke pihak manapun, sehingga privasi  tetap terjaga. adopsi bitcoin dan jalinan sosial dalam komunitas juga terbangun secara alami dari akar rumput.

 Huh! If it was Iran, I would tell you that Youtube is filtered and banned here.
Freedom stricken you say?? 
 I don’t understand what you mean sorry. What are you implying?  
 That freedom in cuba is better than Iran. At least they can watch youtube.
Iranians need good vpn to open youtube. 
 Cuba is the best example that centralization doesn't work. I say it from my own experience. 
 Wow realy cool to see how bitcoin is used in cuba 🤘 
 Is great to hear that there's people interested in #Bitcoin in Cuba  
 Great work you all! 
 Great work you all!

 That’s why we need #bitcoin!
Amazing video 
 Wonderful.

Made me cry. Spent a month travelling around Cuba a few years back. Brought it all back. 
  @joenakamoto

Cuba, like all the countries in the world, uses fiat currency, they do not use money. Fiat currency is a failed idea but the propaganda continues... 
 Great work Joe. Keep these types of stories coming 
 So sad that Cubans are kept prisoners in their own country but it So awesome to see that bitcoin is helping them
😁👍🏻 
 Wow, I met Paco India at Tabconf 2023! What is his npub? 
 @joenakamoto what telegram channel are  they using to buy? Are they using WOS exclusively there? 
 Whats strange...

South Korea back in 1945 had a 15KRW to 1USD exchange rate. Now that exchange is 1,323KRW to 1USD but they live "better" than Cuba?

Might be an interesting future piece there. 
 Thanks for these insights it's so nice to see real adoption and not just people speculating on it. 
 Yooo it's trending!! Let's go Cuba

تک تک دقایقی که داشتم این #مستند رو عقب جلو میکردم واسه ترجمه، تمام صحنه های تو صف ایستادناشون، درآمد ماهانشون، کمبود مواد غذایی و.... مدام این جمله کانال #اریک تو ذهنم تکرار میشد: "شما تا الآنش فقط 5% از کثافت #آخوند رو دیدید".
و این خیلی ترسناک که مردم #ایران جوری رفتار میکنند انگار متوجه اهمیت پارامتر " #زمان " نیستند. انگار تا بینهایت وقت هست
