Why the ₿ logo?

---

• Hard money refers to a currency that is made up of or directly backed by a valuable commodity such as gold or silver.
• This type of money is thought to maintain a stable value relative to goods and services and a strong exchange rate with softer monies.
• Hard money has historically been highly prized for its relatively greater usefulness as money to mediate the exchange of goods, store value, and conduct profit-and-loss accounting.
• Today, most countries issue fiat or "soft" currency, which is not backed by any tangible commodity. 

₿ has:

• Limited Supply: Bitcoin has a capped supply of 21 million coins, making it deflationary by nature. This scarcity is akin to precious metals like gold and silver, which are often referred to as hard money.
• Decentralization and Security: Bitcoin operates on a decentralized blockchain, secured by a network of miners. Its cryptographic features ensure that it’s resistant to censorship and fraud, providing a level of security that’s characteristic of hard money.
• Durability and Portability: Being digital, Bitcoin is highly durable and portable. It can be easily transferred across borders and stored securely, making it a reliable form of hard money for a global, digital age.

Bitcoin is often considered a symbol of financial freedom and choice for several reasons. It provides individuals with greater control over their finances:

1. Decentralization: Bitcoin operates on a decentralized network, not controlled by any central authority or government. This means users have more autonomy over their funds without being subject to traditional financial institutions' regulations.

2. Accessibility: Bitcoin is accessible to anyone with an internet connection, giving people in various parts of the world access to financial services they may not have had before.

3. Ownership: Bitcoin allows individuals to have full ownership and control of their funds, unlike traditional banks where your account can be frozen or closed without your consent.

4. Transparency: Bitcoin's blockchain technology ensures transparency in transactions, making it possible for users to verify their own transactions and others on the network.

5. Security: Bitcoin offers advanced security features, such as cryptographic encryption and private keys, which empower individuals to secure their assets.

In these ways, Bitcoin empowers individuals to exercise greater financial freedom and personal choice over their money, making it a popular choice for those seeking financial autonomy. However, it's essential to remember that the use of Bitcoin also comes with certain risks and responsibilities.

Costa Rico

Bitcoin Jungle is an open source community project built on the Bitcoin Lightning Network. Our goal is to create a circular Bitcoin economy. We're doing this by providing education, resources & technology to our community; both individuals & businesses. Starting from the Golden Triangle (Dominical, Uvita, Ojochal, Platanillo, Tinamaste) area in Costa Rica, we're building a shining example of what a Bitcoin community can mean.

El Salvador

When an anonymous American began sending Bitcoin to nonprofits there, nonprofit workers began an initiative to start a local Bitcoin ecosystem. The beach became one of the first places in El Salvador to accept Bitcoin as a method of payment President Nayib Bukele cited the town as an inspiration for the law recognizing  Bitcoin as one of El Salvador's two official currencies, alongside the U.S Dollar.

A private group announced in 2023 that it will invest $1 billion to build a renewable energy plant and, in the future, a bitcoin mining farm in El Salvador, which promises to be “one of the largest in the world.” “The total commitment for the project is $1 billion,” the private group Volcano Energy, formed by entrepreneurs in the Bitcoin mining sector, said in a statement.

According to Volcano Energy, an initial short-term investment of $250 million will be made, which contemplates the construction of a power plant based on wind and solar energy.

The power plant will be built on the outskirts of the city of Metapán, about 100 km northwest of the capital San Salvador. “The total power generation capacity will be 169 MW (megawatts) of photovoltaic energy and 72 MW of wind energy, resulting in a capacity of 241 MW, Volcano Energy said.  

Guatemala 

A Guatemalan circular Bitcoin economy inspired by their neighbors in central America has sprung up known as “Bitcoin Lake”. Bitcoin lake takes a different approach by leveraging Bitcoin ASICs to clean the nearby Lake Atitlán, where dumping cooking oil has become a real problem.

Bitcoin Lake collects old cooking oil and uses it to generate electricity and mine bitcoin generating income for the community, which can then be spent on projects and help businesses earn from the wealth coming into the region.

A Bitcoin circular economy represents a vision where Bitcoin takes center stage as the primary asset for transferring value. In this innovative system, individuals earn and spend Bitcoin, all within a self-contained ecosystem that values the decentralized nature of this digital currency. With a well-established Bitcoin infrastructure and a growing network of Bitcoin-friendly businesses, participants reduce their reliance on traditional fiat currencies, embracing Bitcoin as both a medium of exchange and a store of value. This concept not only promotes the principles of peer-to-peer transactions and financial inclusivity but also exemplifies the potential for economic empowerment, particularly in regions with limited access to traditional banking services. While challenges remain, the idea of a Bitcoin circular economy reflects the ever-expanding horizons of our financial future, where individuals take control of their economic destiny through this innovative digital currency.
