Meet Diego, an 11-year-old Salvadoran boy fueled by his love for surfing, soccer, and tasty pupusas. What makes him beam with pride is that El Salvador was the first country in the world to embrace bitcoin as legal tender (for a handful of years)!

Despite his young age, Diego is already navigating the world of finance with his lightning wallet, receiving sats for his pocket money. He is too young to get a bank account, because he cannot get a personal identity document yet. Thanks to his graduation from Mi Primer Bitcoin, he and his tech-savvy friends effortlessly handle their lightning wallets to make everyday purchases.

Diego envisions a future that surpasses the past, one where his dreams of becoming a professional soccer player or a skilled chef come true. In this evolving landscape, he represents the hopeful face of a new generation, embracing change and opportunity in a country that has hope like never before.
