Salvadoran town keeps faith in Bitcoin despite market volatility
Atop one of El Salvador's coffee-growing mountain ranges, beans and bitcoin are being traded. Crypto enthusiasts in Berlin, in the eastern part of the Central American country, are enjoying the profits of the currency's surge to record levels, currently around $115,000. Local market vendor Marta Navarro is one of the lucky ones: "I left the money there and let it work. I left it there, and then I would suddenly look at it; sometimes it would go up, sometimes it would go down. Suddenly, I saw I had earned quite a bit. So it's very nice, because when you have enough money, you see the profit when it goes up."
