I was on the Twitter Spaces call when someone asked Pres. Bukele about mining and he said he hadn't thought about it but then mentioned in passing the geothermal electricity El Salvador has that was difficult and expensive to get to the cities.
I felt that his comment about not having thought about mining was genuine, so it could just be the serendipitous synergies that happen when you put your country in the position to attract the brilliance of the crypto community.
Right. Now reading more on him. Am ignorant as to whether he as a leader is deep or strategic. But nonetheless a very significant move for crypto as you convincingly explain. History is replete with consequences of wider impact than anticipated by the original instigator.
