🌎 CHANGING LIVES

Through Fundraising And Financial Revolution, Bitcoin Has Forever Changed Lives On Isla Tasajera
By Ryan Freebing

Tasajera is an island off of El Salvador, the first country to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender. The island has an approximate population of 1,500 inhabitants and is completely surrounded by water, making it only accessible by boat. Most of the island is underdeveloped and the people that live there have homes that lack adequate sanitation, have an irregular electricity supply and are built of flimsy materials.

This article shows how Bitcoin is changing lives in Tasajera. Bitcoin is not only helping the country get out from underneath the strong arm of the fiat system, but also, its phenomenal community is constantly interacting to raise funds to improve the quality of life of the people on the island. 

For example, The Bitcoin Magazine team helped raise funds to build and donate a brand-new boat for students and teachers to and from school, as well as to transport groceries and supplies. In addition, the Built With Bitcoin Foundation is working to provide a proper education to the children of the island so that they become leading members of their communities.

MEME OF THE DAY
By Bitcoin Magazine

Yesterday, bitcoin had the biggest candle in a while, oscillating between ~$37,500 to highs above ~$44,000.

Right after the sanctions were made effective in Russia, their local economy appeared to crumble with interest rates going through the roof and its citizens not being allowed to transfer money out of the country. Bitcoin is a way for people to interact with value unimpeded. 

Bitcoin is showing its true power of being an alternative to store and transport wealth without being hostage to unreliable third parties and policies. Our hard earned savings are now independent even of war waged by political leaders. 

With love,
Bam
