Inside Bitcoin Histórico 2025: A Celebration of Bitcoin, Community, and El Salvador’s Momentum
The 2025 edition of Bitcoin Histórico, organized by The Bitcoin Office together with Max Keiser and Stacy Herbert, delivered one of the most memorable Bitcoin events ever held in El Salvador. Set in the heart of downtown San Salvador, the conference brought together entrepreneurs, investors, creators, and leaders shaping the future of Bitcoin adoption — all framed by some of the country’s most iconic historic architecture.
1. A World-Class Setting in the Center of San Salvador
This year’s event took place across two of the capital’s most emblematic landmarks:
Both stages offered a breathtaking atmosphere, blending Bitcoin’s cutting-edge innovation with El Salvador’s cultural heritage. The contrast made the experience unique — listening to global leaders discuss financial inclusion and the future of money inside spaces that represent centuries of history.
2. Goodlife on Stage: Roman Martínez Shares the Power of Circular Economies
Our co-founder, Roman Martínez joined multiple panels throughout the event, sharing insights from El Zonte — he birthplace of Bitcoin Beach and the first community to adopt Bitcoin as a circular economy. He spoke about how Bitcoin strengthens communities, supports long-term development, and creates new opportunities for families when used consistently in everyday transactions. Alongside speakers like Mike Peterson, Murphslife, Bit-Driver, and Cherito Café, Roman highlighted the practical, human side of Bitcoin adoption and the way real-life experiences in El Salvador continue to inspire global curiosity.
3. A Vibrant Downtown Atmosphere: Art, Entrepreneurs & BTC in Action
One of the most memorable elements of Bitcoin Histórico 2025 was the lively atmosphere in Plaza Gerardo Barrios, right between the two main venues.
Attendees enjoyed:
- A live painting performance, showcasing local creativity
- A dedicated area for entrepreneurs, artisans, and small businesses
- Food, snacks, and coffee — all available to purchase using Bitcoin
This space captured the essence of the event: community, accessibility, and real-world Bitcoin usage in everyday life.
4. Ricardo Salinas: A Standout Presence
A major highlight of the conference was the appearance of Ricardo Salinas, one of Latin America’s most influential investors and a strong advocate for Bitcoin. His participation brought significant attention and reinforced the message many in the industry echo:
investing in Bitcoin is stepping into the future — and El Salvador is leading the way.
His perspective resonated with attendees looking to understand long-term Bitcoin strategy and wealth preservation.
5. Drone Show & Fireworks at the National Palace
To close out Day 1, attendees were treated to an incredible drone show and epic fireworks display right above the National Palace — a moment that lit up the entire historic center and was enjoyed not only by conference guests but by everyone in the surrounding area.
6. Major Thank You to Max & Stacy
None of this would have been possible without Max Keiser and Stacy Herbert, whose vision and dedication continue to push Bitcoin education, culture, and adoption forward in El Salvador. Their leadership through The Bitcoin Office has helped position the country as a global reference point for Bitcoin innovation.
Their execution of Bitcoin Histórico was exceptional — high-quality production, world-class speakers, and a strong community-driven spirit.
