Bitcoin Mining Reward Halves from 6.25 to 3.125
One of the things that makes Bitcoin interesting is that every 4 years the approx. 10 minute mining reward for each block halves. The interesting problem that this solves is something called a Time Chain.
Watch Jack Mallers talk about the Time Chain and how Bitcoin is literally stuck in the future.
And for those who are more nerdy, check this interesting website which pulls out some interesting numbers.
LATAM Central Bank Gives El Salvador More Money
Many people don’t like what is happening here in El Salvador. And not always for great reasons. And I think the Proof of Work that El Salvador has put out over the last couple of years and the actions, speak louder than the critics.
The Central American Bank for Economic Integration continues to support the loans to El Salvador and even increase funding.
Money likes growth.

Salvadoran Coffee in Kyoto Japan
Coffee in Japan is big business. And finding an edge or creating a new trend is always on the minds of commodity businesses.
Japan has had a keen interest in El Salvador after Bukele increasing security. This will continue the trend to increase international awareness of El Salvador as a destination.
