Live from Bitcoin Beach in El Zonte, El Salvador, I’m excited to bring you a fascinating conversation with Fabian, a true freedom enthusiast who's on a mission to transform healthcare as we know it. In this episode, Fabian shares his journey from the Netherlands to Australia, and eventually to El Salvador, in search of more freedom and self-sovereignty. We dive deep into his innovative project, The Salud Protocol, which aims to give people control over their own health data using a decentralized system built on Nostr. Imagine being able to securely own and manage your health records, deciding who gets access to your information, and even earning compensation for sharing it. Fabian is already piloting this with Paravida Hospital right here in El Salvador, working to digitize health records and put power back in the hands of patients.We also chat about how El Salvador is quickly becoming the epicenter for a new wave of financial and technological innovation, driven by Bitcoin and decentralized solutions. Tune in for an eye-opening look at the future of healthcare, digital identity, and the push for personal freedom.- MikeSupport and follow Bitcoin Beach:https://twitter.com/Bitcoinbeachhttps://www.instagram.com/bitcoinbeach_sv/https://www.tiktok.com/@livefrombitcoinbeachWeb: https://www.bitcoinbeach.com/Browse through this quick guide to learn more about the episode:00:00:00 - Introduction00:01:12 - Fabian's Journey from the Netherlands to Australia00:02:00 - How Did Fabian End Up in Australia and What Influenced His Views on Freedom?00:04:37 - How Personal Experiences Influence Our Views on Freedom00:06:56 - Is Humanity Progressing Towards Greater Self-Sovereignty?00:08:06 - Why Did Fabian Move to El Salvador?00:10:22 - Fabian's Experience with Bitcoin at a Major Conference00:12:02 - Discussing the Impact of COVID-19 Restrictions in Australia00:17:18 - How Did Fabian Settle In El Salvador?00:20:25 - How Welcoming Are Salvadorans to Newcomers?00:22:24 - Introducing the Salud Protocol: A New Approach to Healthcare and Data Sovereignty00:28:47 - How Does the Salud Protocol Empower Patients with Digital Identities?00:43:04 - Keeping Your Health Data Secure: What You Need to Know00:45:51 - Can Blockchain Technology Protect Patient Privacy?00:50:24 - What is the Future of Digital Health Records with Blockchain?00:58:01 - How Can Global Healthcare Benefit from Blockchain Technology?01:04:10 - Paravida Hospital: A Pioneer in Healthcare and Bitcoin Integration01:08:41 - How Will Other Hospitals React to Bitcoin in Healthcare?Learn more about The Salud Project:Website: https://illuminodes.com/X: https://x.com/illuminodesLive From Bitcoin Beach
