From the moment we arrived, it was clear: El Salvador isn’t just experimenting with Bitcoin—it’s living it. At the first-ever Plan ₿ Forum El Salvador, the atmosphere was one of excitement, the discussions were forward-thinking, and the technology was in action. Held in one of the world’s most progressive crypto hubs, the Plan ₿ Forum El Salvador brought together an incredible mix of energy, curiosity, and expertise. We came ready to be inspired, and the event exceeded all our expectations.
El Salvador's dedication to Bitcoin was evident from the outset. Here, cryptocurrency is not just a concept but a fully operational component of the nation’s financial infrastructure. With the NAKA Payment Network already operational nationwide, we witnessed firsthand how seamlessly crypto integrates into everyday life. From local businesses processing payments on NAKA POS devices to customers effortlessly using NAKA Cards for real-time transactions, El Salvador has proven that on-chain payments are part of everyday life.
Despite being the first Plan ₿ Forum held in El Salvador, the event attracted a significant crowd, demonstrating a strong interest in cryptocurrency, payments, and the future of blockchain. The venue was thoughtfully designed, offering ample space for networking and discussions beyond the scheduled talks and panels. The high level of engagement allowed us to connect with other pioneering projects in the space such as Tether, Blockstream, Lightning Labs, Satstreet, Bitcoin Foundation, and more.
At our booth, attendees got hands-on experience with NAKA’s ecosystem, and the reaction was unanimous: crypto payments should be this simple. What stood out the most was the reaction to how smooth it was to activate and use the NAKA Card, whether it’s physical or virtual.
One of the defining moments of the conference came when NAKA’s founder and CEO, Dejan Roljic, took the stage. His keynote cut through the noise, laying out a bold vision for global on-chain payments. Lower fees, instant transactions, and financial independence — the pillars of a more inclusive financial system.
Dejan emphasized how on-chain payments empower individuals and businesses. His call to action was clear: The future of finance lies in decentralized systems that serve everyone, everywhere.
Beyond the panels and speeches, Plan ₿ Forum was a catalyst for meaningful conversations—about Bitcoin, economic freedom, and financial sovereignty. It was a meeting ground for leaders, innovators, and those who refuse to settle for the status quo.
Whether at our booth, during keynote speeches, or in the lively exchanges throughout the venue, the energy and purpose were undeniable.
El Salvador’s strides in embracing Bitcoin, combined with the success of the Plan ₿ Forum, reaffirm the growing demand for alternative financial solutions.
NAKA isn’t just an observer in this movement—we’re an active force. As we expand globally, our commitment to El Salvador is growing too. From establishing a local office to investing in financial infrastructure, we’re here to drive real adoption.
El Salvador has set the standard for what a Bitcoin-powered economy can look like. For those who were there, the future was tangible. For those who missed it—this is just the beginning.
