Issue #47 - How many billion $ are coming home this year?
El Salvador is attracting people and capital like never before.
Hola 👋
Another week has flown by. We have been in Berlin Usulutan and taken part in the organic circular economy happening here, by locals.
It has been great to see locals taking action. Not waiting for anyone. Not waiting for Bitcoin City. But working on being a Bitcoin City.
Thank you for reading. Have a great week.

Vibrant August Cultural Festival
It is great to see El Salvador working to share culture that has been repressed in the recent decades. A Government imitative to bring it back and share with locals and visitors.
Remittances to Surpass 4 Billion in first half of 2023
Money returning home? It is amazing how many Salvadorians are sending money home from abroad. We see them visiting towns and can see money being spent buying property and developing land.
From our perspective, it would be great to see more using the bitcoin rails network, which would mean even more would arrive and less fees for the fiat banking system.
Charity Dinner Raises over 1 BTC for Bitcoin Education
My First Bitcoin had it’s first annual charity dinner for fundraising this year.
They had some great prizes for the public and RSVP guests to bid on.
All of the funds go towards educating people how money and bitcoin work with an end goal of empowering people to hold their value.
