How Bitcoin Saved This Man from Political Persecution and Financial Ruin | Enrique Ho

Bitcoiners - Live From Bitcoin Beach

Live from Bitcoin Beach in El Zonte, El Salvador, in this episode, I sit down with Enrique Ho, a former traditional finance executive turned full-blown Bitcoin advocate. Enrique’s story is wild. One day, he was living the high life as a private equity guy in Panama. The next, he was on the run, hit with an Interpol Red Notice, accused of crimes he didn’t commit, and forced into exile. But here’s where it gets interesting, Bitcoin saved him.

With his assets at risk of being frozen, Enrique remembered something his wife had told him years before: Bitcoin can’t be confiscated. So, he moved his savings into BTC, not as an investment, but as financial insurance. That decision changed everything. He went down the rabbit hole, realized what Bitcoin really means, and is now dedicating his life to helping others gain financial sovereignty, especially in places where governments can seize everything overnight.

We talk about how Panama missed its chance with Bitcoin while El Salvador is making all the right moves. Enrique shares his firsthand experience with the dangers of government-controlled money, something people are waking up to even in the US. He explains why he’s now working with Blink (formerly Bitcoin Beach Wallet) to push Bitcoin adoption and how Latin America and Africa are about to see a massive wave of financial transformation. This one’s packed with insight, real-world lessons, and a powerful story about why Bitcoin matters beyond just number go up. Don’t miss it!
