  • Volcano or Geothermal power is considered Green or Ecofriendly because it does utilize fossil fuels like coal or oil to generate power.
  • ‘Bitcoin is legal tender in El Salvador and state Bitcoin mining farms are being utilized to generate revenue to build a newer, more modern El Salvador. . .

My Thoughts

This is development is a great story. It aligns the interests of eco friendly development, cryptocurrency development, cryptocurrency adoption, and brings not only real estate developers, hotels, restaurants and other traditional business plus fin-tech investors and entrepreneurs.

This is an amazing development for El Salvador and the world in terms of an Eco-friendly City, Eco-friendly industry in a poor country. Poor countries frequently use coal and fossil fuels to power factories and industry because its cheap.

This amazing because Bonds based on Bitcoin mining are providing the capitol for the development of clean energy in El Salvador, independent of the International Monetary Fund, which is feared by many poor nations.

This is an amazing demonstration project which could improve the health, wealth and daily life of the people of El Salvador. This could be a demonstration product for other countries.

This could be am amazing step forward for El Salvador, Central America and all human kind.

The End .. for now. @shortsegments
