El Salvador President teases Bitcoin geothermal mining farm

Đất nước El Salvador “chốt hạ” dùng Bitcoin làm phương tiện thanh toán  chính thức - Nhịp sống kinh tế Việt Nam & Thế giới

El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele shared a video showing the clear progress of the country’s Bitcoin (BTC) mining facility, powered by volcanic geothermal energy.

The video shows an overview of a power generation plant with technicians making cryptocurrency mining rigs possible.

Bukele did not go into the process shown in the video, just wrote “First Steps” with a Bitcoin card along with emojis depicting a volcano and the flag of El Salvador. The President’s Office did not immediately respond to Cointelegraph’s request for comment.

The post comes a few months after Bukele announced plans to build a geothermal bitcoin mining facility. The president said in June that he would instruct the state-owned energy company LaGeo to manage a Bitcoin mining facility that runs on “very cheap, 100% clean, 100% renewable, zero-emission” energy.
