How Bitcoin Is Changing the Way We Build and Buy Homes | Michael Cobb
About this episode
Live from Bitcoin Beach in El Zonte, El Salvador, in this episode, I sit down with Michael Cobb, the CEO of ECI Development, to talk about real estate, Bitcoin, and how both are transforming lives and communities in Latin America. Michael shares how his company began accepting Bitcoin for properties (starting with a teak plantation!) and how that decision has shaped their business. We also reminisce about El Salvador’s Bitcoin adoption and how that announcement flipped the script on his plans for the region.
Michael dives into the challenges of developing property in Central America, offering practical tips for anyone looking to buy a home overseas. From hot water to cultural quirks, we cover it all. Plus, we talk about exciting projects in Belize, Nicaragua, and even some early plans for a Bitcoin-friendly development right here in El Zonte.
If you’re interested in buying property overseas, curious about Bitcoin’s role in real estate, or just love hearing stories about how Bitcoin is making a real-world impact, this episode is for you.
Tune in and get inspired to take your next step toward adventure and freedom!
- Mike
