El Salvador, after becoming the first country to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender, continues to strengthen its commitment to cryptocurrencies by purchasing one Bitcoin daily since September 2021. This persistent strategy highlights the country's long-term vision towards integrating cryptocurrencies into its economy, as we have previously elaborated on Crypto News Flash.

Boosting Cryptocurrency Education

In a remarkable educational initiative, El Salvador has installed the third Bitcoin node of the year in a public school, where children not only celebrate, but also learn about Bitcoin mining.

This activity is part of the “bitaxe” project, where students set up their own node and participate in a solo mining pool, fully educating them on the technology behind cryptocurrencies.

Future Investments and Development of ‘Bitcoin City’

El Salvador's Congress has given the green light to Bitcoin-backed bonds, a step towards funding the ‘Bitcoin City’ project proposed by President Nayib Bukele. This city aims to be a financial hub attracting global investment, using the profits generated by these bonds.

Integration of Stablecoins and Gaming in the Bitcoin Economy

Moreover, El Salvador is exploring the use of stablecoins, enabling more stable and accessible transactions for its population. In a cultural twist, the country is also venturing into the world of video games with the launch of the game “Hero of Bitcoin”, playable on the Nintendo Game Boy, which celebrates the adoption of Bitcoin in the country.

The presale for @HeroOfBitcoin is LIVE on @geyserfund! 🎉
