Issue #52 - Food Sovereignty for a growing country
Do you know where most of the basic food in El Salvador comes from?
Hola 👋
El Salvador has a long way to go. But Bukele appears to see the path that is needed to be travelled and pushing ahead.
Remember to invest your time to learn how to store your own bitcoin keys.
Thank you for reading. Have a great week.

Bukele Invites More Skills to El Salvador via Visa
Bukele wants more people to bring skills to El Salvador via VISA programs.
Personally I wouldn’t say expanding the scope of the programs will attract more people. I would say the program it self needs to become more appealing. It is becoming competitive out there, to attract brains, wealth and most importantly, time.
Salvadoran Food Sovereignty
Bukele apparently wants to improve the food sovereignty of El Salvador. When we speak to our local fresh food producers, they say it’s local, but it’s actually imported from the C4 countries.
We could see a lot of things easily being grown here and look forward to seeing a positive, healthy change towards El Salvador becoming a net producer of food, along with energy.
Adoption of Self Custody Growing
The number of known bitcoin on exchanges is rapidly decreasing. Many people don’t realise 19,470,243 bitcoin have been mined. The last 1.5 million will take over 100 years to mine.
The next halving in approx 230 days will reduce the 10 minute reward by 50%.
When people sit down and hear some of these numbers, it changes the perspective.
Bitcoin is being moved to self custody private keys. Make sure to learn how to manage yours too.
