Ep.35 - A bitcoin a day / Part two

Since June 2019, Nayib Armando Bukele Ortez has been the President of the Republic of El Salvador. Bukele hasn’t just freed the country from the throttle of drug gangs, but also started an unexpected economic upturn with the introduction of bitcoin as legal tender. It’s something that has never been tried before, and it’s been reaping enormous benefits in terms of the sustainability of debt, on the country’s international image, and on its support of “clean” energy sources for crypto mining. Welcome to El Salvador, where mythology and science fiction walk together. Where the future is already here.
