El Salvador is now officially ranked safer than France by the U.S. State Department.

How did a country once labeled a gang war zone flip the script? Did $BTC have anything to do with it?

Let’s break it down 👇

1.
Just 3 years ago, El Salvador made global headlines by becoming the first country to declare $BTC legal tender.

It was bold, risky — and slammed by the IMF.

2.

Fast forward to 2025:

📉 Gang activity down massively

🔒 Prison system overhaul

🟢 Now ranked Travel Advisory Level 1 by the U.S.
That’s the same level as Canada — safer than Spain, France, and Germany.

3.
Critics say El Salvador's Bitcoin experiment failed — and yeah, only 11% of $BTC firms are still active.
But the story is deeper:
🇸🇻 became a symbol of crypto sovereignty.
And now? It’s also a symbol of public safety.

4.
A country that took a massive bet on crypto now has the trust of the U.S. gov on security.

That’s more than just vibes — that’s policy-level respect.

Final Thoughts:
What do you think, compas?
Did El Salvador fumble the Bitcoin bag, or is this the long game playing out? You planning a trip to El Salvador any time soon?
