Issue #53 - Growth in education, technology, tourism

If Bukele is a dictator, he is doing a crappy job. He is educating and arming the population for the future like no average dictator.

Hola 👋

This week we had a lot of people ask us about the Google announcement. And I’m unsure of the answer people are looking for. But personally, it’s a positive sign that the international business community are confidant that El Salvador is a worthy bet.

Starlink for internet, Google for data services and airlines increasing flights to accommodate the Salvadorians and tourists coming to visit.

This country is on a path like few others.

Thank you for reading. Have a great week.

Nicki & James

Bukele Brings Google to El Salvador

If people are no impressed with the partnerships and speed that Bukele is moving at, then I’m not sure what would impress them. El Salvador has become one of the safest countries in the region, implementing huge reforms and deploying technology and education like the future depends on it.

If there is another country that is moving like this, please let me know.

In 2024 Every School will be Teaching Bitcoin

A couple of weeks a go we saw the news of 150 teachers being trained to train 1,500. This week we have a goal. All schools having the ability to teach children about Hard, Sound Money. Financial History and Finance 101 incoming. Teaching a nation how to be fiscally responsible was a huge success for Japan. Watch this little nation.

110 Flights per Week

Or, over 15 flights per day. That would be 1 every hour from 5am to 10pm at night. And that is one airline. That is a lot of people. Testament to the tourist growth and most likely a larger number of Salvadorians visiting from overseas. Flights have not become cheaper either. So this is a very impressive sign about the popularity and growth of the nation.
