Issue #35 - Donations, connections and energy
Education donations to educate the future that is being connected with Starlink and no shortage of renewable energy to keep it all going.
Hola 👋
El Salvador may have missed out on a lot over the last few decades, but the now it is just cutting right to the best parts.
It is amazing how fast it can roll out new technology after missing so much in between. But this has been a familiar story for emerging economies.
It is exciting to be watching and be in amongst it. The feeling of energy in the air is real.
Thank you for reading. Have a great week.

Week 38 Live:
My First Bitcoin 1 BTC Donations in April
This month My First Bitcoin hit 1 BTC or 1 Bitcoin in public donations. There was also a bit donation by Bitcoin Beach to help cross that line. These donations are important, as they are used to give to students for their graduation final. They demonstrate they can create, backup and recover a wallet, so they can then do a live transfer with the funds.

Hydro and Solar Renewable Energy Projects
The Salvadoran Govt is pushing ahead with energy projects adding a solar farm to the existing hydro plant at Rio Lempa near Suchitoto. Energy and roads are an important foundation of an economy. Any Energy surplus can also be sold to neighboring countries or used for bitcoin mining in the near future.

Starlink Hospitals
What surprised me the most about this, is that it will cut out the local internet providers. The article mentions an increase in speed and quality and reduction in price. If I’m to guess, the Salvadoran Govt has no reason to support the local lines providers who haven’t rolled out service fast enough for the prices they have been paying. Watch this space as more services move to Starlink.
