Issue #57 - Energy Production, Independence & Mining for Financial Inclusion
People will build on Bitcoin the protocol, physically and digitally to empower the world.
Hola 👋
Another awesome week in El Salvador. We are in Berlin Usulutan and it’s going great. The climate, the people, the adoption, it’s all inspiring!
The Bitcoin Center is unofficially open and already attracting a lot of attention from the locals. Make sure to reach out and ask about it when you visit. Lots of cool features in the works.
Thank you for reading. Have a great week.

Bitcoin Enables Financial Inclusion
Any person with a smart phone and internet connection can download a free wallet and have a bank account in mins.
This is not possible with the fiat banking system. It’s a pain in the ass and it discriminates on many levels. For example, our bank will not provide a debit card for our business account. WTF.
Yet, with tools like DitoBanx Mastercard debit card and bitcoin, the barrier has become even easier to be financially included.
LNG Improves Energy Independence
Developing nations need reliable energy and transport. Bukele is well on the way to putting this infrastructure in place.
Reducing reliance on direct electricity imports buy adding multiple facilities to generate electricity on demand. Another pillar has been established.
