In this mini-series, we will explore the implications of the Chivo Wallet hack, the vulnerabilities it exposed, and what it might say about the autocratic trajectory of the Bukele administration and perhaps a trend in so-called “Global South".

In this episode, Alessia and Mark discuss the ways in which El Salvador's government has begun to destroy civil rights, and accusations of Bukele's party eroding the Constitution. However, the result has been a period of growth and substantially safer cities. Mark also discusses the lack of progress on the fabled "Bitcoin City".
