Actress and model Alejandra Guajardo represented El Salvador in the preliminary competition of the Miss Universe 2022 pageant by wearing a costume featuring Bitcoin (BTC) during her walk across the stage.
In a Jan. 12 post on her Instagram account tagging Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele, Guajardo shows herself walking gracefully with a giant colón — one of the country’s accepted currencies until 2001 — strapped to her back adorned with cocoa beans. In her right hand, the pageant contestant carries a staff topped with a large physical Bitcoin.
