"Bitcoin Accepted Here" is now all over El Salvador.

In McDonalds, Starbucks and Pizza Hut, customers are paying with Bitcoin right now.

You can see in this tweet "Bitcoin Accepted Here" in Spanish just like we're all used to seeing Visa and Mastercard accepted here signs.

Among the many merchants accepting #Bitcoin in El Salvador: @Starbucks, @PizzaHut, @McDonalds. Now that everyone can see how safe, fast and cheap it is, the race is on: who will be the first to introduce bitcoin payments outside of El Salvador? pic.twitter.com/un2NqMun9c

By making Bitcoin a legal tender currency, El Salvador has put rocket fuel into the bitcoinization of the global economy.

Think about it.

A manager in Starbucks in Germany who wants to implement "Bitcoin Accepted Here" just needs to point to the El Salvador Starbucks and say "If they can do it, we can do it too.  It can't be that hard."

These conversations are going on right now around the world.

Implement it and save the 1-2% fee that Mastercard and Visa charge.  

Bitcoin Lightning Network costs a fraction of a percent.  Is instantaneous.  And is easy to implement because it uses open standards.

It's happening faster than we realise.  Well done El Salvador.
