Issue #74 - Bukele high fives for another five
We have been here for 2 years this week and it's just getting started.
Hola 👋
Two years in El Salvador. We landed here before the gangs had been cracked down on. We had never been to LATAM. No Spanish. No idea how things worked here.
Two years on, no regrets. We have a community we are enjoying and living in to the opportunities here.
Thank you for reading. Have a great week.
Nicki & James

Bukele Earns Another 5 Years with 85%+
Bukele has another 5 years to continue his rampage of making the country safer and wealthier. Removing the gangs. Improving education. Improving energy generation. Improving transport routes. And so much more.
I’m excited to have the Bitcoin President to lead the country with Hope and Opportunity for the next 5 years.

More Energy. More Exports. More Growth.
Nation states that adopt Bitcoin are incentivized to generate energy. For the growth of their economy and nation. And to secure their position in the world with Bitcoin Mining.
Increased capacity to export energy also means there is profit to be made from outside the country. Bringing in new capital to inject in to more growth.
