Well,
1:00
I got into Bitcoin because I went to Miss Universe.
1:06
I was Miss Universe El Salvador in 2022.
1:09
And I decided to wear as my national costume.
1:13
It was about Bitcoin.
1:15
And I decided to wear that because it was something that was never seen at the Miss Universe stage before.
1:23
And El Salvador made Bitcoin legal tender in 2021.

No, it's fine.
0:00
Sí, la verdad es que Bitcoin me ha traído solo cosas buenas a mi vida y por eso voy a seguir hablando sobre Bitcoin.
0:11
Que yo no hubiera estado en Bitcoin si no hubiera sido por Miss Universo.
0:14
Ya hoy en día los certámenes de belleza puedes ir con el cuerpo que quieras, puedes ser, ser muy tú, ¿no? Pero a mí me gusta ser disciplinada, hacer ejercicio, ir de que es supertonificada, porque es una vez en la vida, son experiencias que tienes que darlo todo.
0:29
Y tengo una noticia increíble [risa] que literalmente la acabo deee, acabo de decir sí ayer, que me voy a meter a otro certamen.
0:39
Voy a representar a El Salvador en el certamen de Miss Cosmo [risa].
0:43
Guau, me, me encanta este mundo.

Entonces, ¿cuál, cuál fue tu primer contacto con Bitcoin?
8:51
Okey.
1:59
What was that like? And how did that get you into some of these communities that you are in today? Just give a little bit of your backstory about all of that.
2:10
I decided to wear the Bitcoin dress because my country made Bitcoin as legal tender in 2021 and I won in 2022.
2:20
And I wanted to bring something different and new at Miss Universe.
2:27
Not always like in previous years that they do the national flower or one of our volcanoes.
2:34
I wanted to show something that was never seen before at Miss Universe.
2:42
I wanted to share the message of Bitcoin with the world because I believe in financial freedom and it should belong to everyone, not just a privileged few.
2:55
So that's why I decided to wear the Bitcoin dress.
3:05
how do we use it and then in salva the government may gave 30 in bitcoin to all of salvadorans with their id with their doing so a lot of them just like got their 30 and spend it like they don't keep it kept it or or anything because they clearly didn't understand and They didn't put any education about it.
3:29
They just put like Bitcoin legal tender and that's it.
3:32
So actually, I remember when I told my designer for my national costume in Miss Universe that I wanted to be about Bitcoin.
3:42
He was mad.
3:44
He was like, no, I won't do it about Bitcoin because Bitcoin doesn't represent.
3:48
But then after that, I understood why he said that, because they didn't understand how Bitcoin works or why is it important to adopt it.
