there's the Strike app they are saying, kind of wallet they use there to pay BTC.  proof that they really use BTC there casually that even this local store accepts BTC.
mining using the volcano is very renewable. not a very common use for a volcano but if it can be done it's good.

so this is the government mining BTC, that's very positive news for the locals, the government is said to be paying BTC to their employees.

True, this is a good move by the El Salvador President and will charge a new part for Bitcoin mining but the thing is, why hasn't this been thought about by all of the Bitcoin mining countries?
It is the necessity they say is the mother of all invention and has that pushed El Salvador this way because they saw no other way to their economic financial problems. We know there are a lot of different renewable energy sources that could be use for this purpose and I am personally glad that we will start to look at this option now.

It should be used for science or other cryptocurrencies, not for a old and slow cryptocurrency as Bitcoin is.

Debunking the "Bitcoin is an environmental disaster" argument.

Bitcoin mining is environmental friendly enough if you compare it to many other industries. Many renewable resources are used and people attacked bitcoin mining that is an operation of the most efficient and secured network to for financial transactions.

It looks good if you are talking about other industries but if it is Bitcoin, it is harmful for environment.

It is bad accusation and not fair.

Yes, all of it is great news in relation to Bitcoin adoption but my concern is, sometimes workers might want to save some of their earnings or you might not spend all at once, and in this case, if they are paid and with the nature of Bitcoins volatility, it could either go up in price in favor of the workers or downward, making them lose a bit of their salary value. Does this mean they will immediately change to stable coins?

Using renewable resources is really great for BTC and whole planet. It's something that we need to go to. What's the point of BTC if there's will be no person to use it?

They are into serous crypto business and promoting Bitcoin in their country at high scale.They have directed the largest geothermal plant to use volcano energy for Bitcoin mining which is advanced step towards renewable sources of Bitcoin mining without consumption of electricity.Moreover they have also announced a priviliged scheme for Bitcoin traders and holders.

Whosoever wants to gain El Salvador permanent residentship they need to invest only 3 Bitcoins into their economy and that's it as simple.They have more plans ahead but elections are near and what the most eligible candidate and Iranian judiciary chief Ebrahim Raisi if win the election have plans for Bitcoin.

But at current El Salvador is making some serious and revolutionary changes for crypto market especially Bitcoin.

Bitcoin mining is not too terrible for environment and media spreads it as the end of this world. They do it when Bitcoin need to be corrected after many months with Bull.

Above 35% of energy that is used for Bitcoin mining is renewable that is environmental friendly. Mining farms will use more sources from wind, water, solar and geothermal energy. And they can set up more equipments to use heat from ASICs for local demands. If governments are more strictly to enforce mining farms to do so, they will.

We witness it with many industries and in many nations. In first phases of industrialization, nations are very soft and easy with regulations for environments. When the industrialization growth reaches to a level government wants and the impacts on environment is bad enough, chances will happen.

Fortunately, industrialization does not die, stop or whatever postpone. Bitcoin mining and crypto mining will be adapted to governmental regulational changes as same as that.

So they are using Geothermal Energy to fuel mining in their country, that's actually pretty because it doesn't have any or close small amount of pollution because it's the heat basically of the planet that they are using. I think that it is the end game for energy resource for any sector or aspect of life.
