President Nayib Bukele has turned El Salvador into a country unlike any other, blending authoritarianism with digital innovation.

The small Central American country has gone from being one of the world's most violent to going 24 straight murder-free days in December .

His aides describe him as pragmatic, willing to privatize or hand out aid depending on the situation. “His model is Singapore or South Korea ,” one aide said. But his path to that vision comes with mounting costs. For now, the world watches as the “crypto king” forges ahead..
