Isaac Reyes

Isaac Reyes is a 28-year-old surf teacher from El Zonte, El Salvador, who has experienced the impact of Bitcoin on his community. While he occasionally receives payment in Bitcoin, he primarily converts it to dollars using a mobile app. Reyes notes that although the excitement surrounding Bitcoin Beach has diminished, he believes the positive effects of the cryptocurrency on local residents outweigh the negatives. He views the changes in tourism to be more reflective of the community dynamics rather than solely the result of economic agreements.
