Spend bitcoin in El Salvador.
El Salvador has its first human-verified bitcoin merchant · vetted for native on-chain or Lightning payments, no wrapped-coin gateways.
El Salvador made bitcoin legal tender, which might make a directory page here feel redundant, but a curated list still earns its keep by naming names. Ours starts with The Trading Channel, which runs a free Twitch trading stream, sells paid TradingView and MetaTrader indicators, and keeps a shelf of Bitcoin memorabilia for collectors, the physical-goods side of an otherwise digital operation. The roster here is small, and that is the honest picture: legal tender changed the rules nationwide, but verification still happens one merchant at a time. If you run a Salvadoran business that takes bitcoin for real goods, the submit form is the fastest way onto this page.
