Gabe from GoodBeans
Gabe formally started his career in coffee in 2009 in a small Swiss coffee shop, but even as a child was immersed in coffee farms and mills in his native El Salvador. After working in the hospitality industry and tech in 2021 he started GoodBeans El Salvador Specialty Coffee with the goal of sharing some of the best Salvadoran coffees to a worldwide audience.

Who hasn't read or heard the argument "You can't buy coffee with Bitcoin!" It's such an outdated cliche, but as of today it's something most people around the world still believe. Bitcoin helped us as a small coffee stand in a Salvadoran strip mall reach a worldwide audience and break a 150+ year old paradigm that producing countries can only export green coffee.
How does Bitcoin change the game for El Salvador's coffee industry? Join us as Gabe from Good Beans, Jorge from Cherito Café, and Jay from Satoshi Coffee Co, dive into this question. We’ll discuss how Bitcoin is making cross-border transactions easier, boosting financial inclusion, and helping local coffee producers thrive in the global market. This panel is perfect for those curious about how Bitcoin empowers businesses and connects people worldwide.
