distance train journeys were cancelled without you are up to date is coming up next, e, w, 's, bitcoin documentary on the digital gold rush in less than american stick around. so that if you can, i money keeps making that thanks so much for watching the can you see what old car tires have to do with the production? here's a hands on so really indeed the snow on youtube, the, the el salvador

at the foot of the contract. go up. ok, now. this is the future site of the coins city. here's how it will look. since the countries presidents, the steps there. well it's not clean. now i'm having version for just arriving. uh but uh, a little uh, lay down uh mattress. uh, got a little micro kitchen just to uh, the one man will. citadel hunt no front door. um it's pretty safe around here. i haven't seen a bad guy since since i've been here. and so i in oregon, sleep out on the beach or you just, you know, there's,

there's no trouble or worries washington, the 30 i my name's corbin. keegan, elder coin narrow the 1st residence of big moines city. the e mail, salvador is the beacon of light and hope for the coin. fix is not just the money, but everything built on the money. the

here in guatemala lake got to find is style and big point mining is the solution. all of that material is waste that can be turned into energy that can be turned into decline the fussy about the country, almost no one knew el salvador before. lots of us are only here because of good cooling because it's an opportunity for global economic collaboration. i inhabit to where it's at when they go. so, but it's a business for the lead. i think it's the poor is communities who have the lease to gain from an economic system like this. but i think the point for when you talk about the inside about it is related to the point. well it can be clean, easily bad. and so you're con. so that's what's happening right now. we're

here for with a big cleaners, bringing this to the people. i'm explaining what a great opportunity and the ga inbound that's a challenge to bitcoin is one to shake things up. so as long as a small town on the volcanic you like to live with, it's victor ask landscapes. i'm strong in teaching this culture. this is eddie s a k. hi. hello. hello. how are you? great. i'm just getting the oil pretty old frying oil that will turn into a new big coins. let's go to completely a couple pieces. a big problem in question. the normal if we don't collect the oil,

people will just chuck it somewhere which is sent to the environment. so this is the, me i'm getting that because when it rains, it goes right into the lake. by the next, i'm in the i live on that. now we have a solution for that. and well, it's incredible a while as a unit in the backyard next to a car repair shop is a boom. a home made bitcoin machine and he has a key hi wants to use it to mind digital goals. first, the filters food read that you use down to the old cooking oil and then it's ready to fuel the own diesel machine. the electricity generated power, small computers, which perform cryptographic operations for the global bitcoin block chain. in return, they receive small sums of big coins at least one mines

about $3.00 a day. but on the whole they don't run out. we've been dealing with you for $3.00 plus about $1.00 a day on this one. i'm happy i can pay for my coffee in between where to go, but i don't cover it, but i'm living right next to cub. boom is prime on your side. most people, i'm a musician, a various instruments with trumpet, bass, drums, seaboard, marine the violin. he doesn't understand why it has to be so noisy here. i keep telling them to get a muffler, then it will be quieter. americana. i'll probably be going

creating bit coins from waste was an idea that area is the case high going from patrick meld. uh, well this is what i call the hidden air. all covered in vines and in foliage. and if you look at what's going on here, we've got the necessary ingredients to break down organic waste and create missing . and for our purposes we would capture dismissing and flare it create energy and mine big point. the organic waste ponds as being inactive. but yes, can i fixing it to the grid is too expensive. so waste wants to adjust the flow has passed, it could be coins from me saying mining finally get it up and running. this is low hanging fruit for us to help the community. and again, it's just another demonstration that big point is the only thing that could come in here and fix this problem. the next level would be the solid waste facility. and then we have created a,

a real virtuous cycle of taking waste and creating bitcoin and improving the economy and proving that community and protecting the environment. patrick mount came here from the us as a christian missionary. now he leads the logo, bitcoin project with the same zeal. i have a love for this community. i love her, bought them all on, and i love to help people. so if i have a tool that can be used to help people, then you know why not, why not do that? most people here have no bank accounts and don't save money. these 2 wants to change that. they've already convinced trump keep up a, treat the toner. so in the past, if she had spec cash, she used it to buy more stock. now she has a big calling, wallet, a new customers. they scanned the coupon code and pick coins land in her wallet on the block chain. it'd be clements and we're going to put this on a form of a name that's been calling is great and it's a way of investing more. patrick told us that the price was actually a have,

but if i regularly invest some of the process i'll have more life. okay. can 7 moseley invest these or not? because at some point, maybe not now, but even a year or 2. the price could explode or sales for the explicit yeah, this looks like a orange pill. someone is due on both them to big point. here we go. is that how are you waiting? this is amy and i'm going to say yes, i don't know. i'm eli is from the like a big calling project that is dealing with the cooling makes practical sense for your business list. why? because you get a lot of tourists from the us and the rest of the world, those they pay with visa or mastercard. and those companies get a 5 to 8 percent commission seeing it's different with the point, the customers can send you money directly without commission the blue stay the middle in the night. let me show the motorcycle rental company is skeptical

in 2021 l sounds. it all became the 1st country to accept big coins as legal 10 to jeff. got us is a big coin it from germany. these parts of a german delegation touring through bitcoin country. there's a big conference coming out. that's a special thing about big coins. yeah, there's no headquarters in state, and so there are conferences with people meet them and bring this internet culture into the real world. and and el salvador is really special because it's a whole country that except to be going to physically put executed. so it's like one big laboratory level, actually off to one failed attempt. he pays and bid coins. now it's worked. this is jessica thomas's 2nd visit. ever since l sounds little adaptive bit coined as a currency, it's been a promised land, a bit coyness. what about the locals today?

shat and this euphoria let's go the number and speak to the funds to a pen. yes, i'm a journalist from el salvador and kind of human this. it seems the state of emergency independent journalism has become increasingly dangerous. i mean that there are threats and restrictions when there's some people why it happens in spite on the the one boy fits all the while you are late be when the whole big coin thing started in 2021. the government loans to be campaign to say we were on the way to becoming a will the can only talent as the 1st country to implement between the atlas for saturday, for the medical, you have it on september 17 and by the one year anniversary, the government didn't say a single word about the coins here. you know, he had nothing and that's all up allowed. why not? and why? you know, sort of living in 2022 after

a spike in homicides both are, it is declared. the state of emergency in el salvador victo opinion, takes us to posit limited in the hall to the capital san salvador. to see some of the effects, the bi mahoney basically is we're going to kind of black market. the goods, the sale here are often obtained at least at least not a heavy leasing that way. but that's a form of trade that many people here depend on to get their living. and yes, if i more to him that guess we'll see. so there's a black market right in the city center until recently, it was a very dangerous place to visit l. sounds little is one of the highest rates of gang violence in the well, since declaring a state of emergency, the government has imprisoned over 66000 alleged gang members without violet trials . but sometimes there was always conflict here in the games used

to clash with each other, but that's pretty much over now. when we all know, so in a way the government is doing a good job because they're trying to do something good for the people of a window, but a but equivalent. but lots of people are having a hard time because they're innocent. relatives are in prison when that other symptom michael gets into one of those will funny and says, he knows that the men in the wall on games most security comes at the cost of basic human rights. the big calling revolution is on hold. the states big calling, wallet chiva is beam launch lea, a band, only a few locals use it and then was in the cooling. yes, we have the it was doing pretty well in the beginning, but less so lightly. i don't know why the, some of them as little sign a bit calling you for you in the center of san salvador. the next morning

we had to one of the porous regions in the country. the president's high profound project is underway here. bitcoin mining using volcanic energy, the journalist victo opinion, wants to find out if locals will benefit from the projects he meets with community leaders in the municipality of that name. hello. hello. nice to meet you to was i'm victo opinion, but i don't one it's a great place you on them to go out on the way to one of the nearby villages all scovella ask is once to show us something that's worrying people. i fear it is. this is one of the length of a case in it, and that's the, that's the power station where they're developing. the big coins is a raw material. says the government, the but as a community, we don't really know what's going on here quite a bit. but of course,

it's in and we're the ones who could end up suffering negative consequences in just a little garden. if there are profits, how will they be distributed among the citizens in the end? that's the most important thing. initial comments, you want us to read on this as well. again, i'm looking for a bunch of, you know, there are room is of money coming in. that will be very welcome in this impoverished region. bitcoin base camp in san salvador. and we're leaving now. so the big going delegation is also heading to building on an exclusive visit to the cios, to them all power plants if you don't see a geothermal power plant like this every day, all those pipes and the steam power coming out of the mountain and also getting to see how it's used directly from mining, there's at least one mine in there. maybe they've even expanded the mining operators in the bill of the mining of thoughts on pacific subjects. visitors are

rarely allowed inside the power plants. geothermal energy is an important source of power for the country. heat from the nearby volcanoes, tens ground water into steam, which drives turbines to generate the green electricity president. now your book kayla has promised that this kind of green energy will supply bitcoin city. this would make green bitcoin mining possible. jeff got us, has already visited this site last year. we're allowed to look inside, but he won't tell us which devices are in there with the current cache rate is on the network or how much is already been mined? that's all classified porter, that's ok. or the 1st time such as buying, right. let's see if we see anything. it's not over yet. i q, we go the,

a few kilometers away. we learn about living conditions here. how many families live here? there are 76 families in the community. i see. no one has running water. no, there's no, well here the community collect the rain going to in this rusty tank. this has been drinking water soon. it will be the drying season. and i've had the thank goodness we haven't had any terrible diseases. i me, i, since i didn't have the children sometimes get diarrhea from the water, but i mean what, unless you pass the way, but to improve the situation, we'd need support from a governmental or non governmental institution that i'm and i don't know what i'm in patent and that for you at especially when the tank gets empty on the lower line

. thank you. it. the net one that you would like to have a proper water pipeline so that the families will always have supplies that have been if he's here on the left a minute. in the middle of this last forest, more to isn't luxury. families live here with minimal infrastructure. no sewage systems, no paved roads rationing is common. the why is there a lot? you think it's a just on people's feeling, the water for the rest. you want the only open the top one. we hand out the water rations if the, if someone would lie a 2nd for someone else who will not allow, are full of pockets. so going to pass timely day. in dry months, even less. some of the energy generated at the g as the old power plant goes towards a bitcoin mine on site. the delegation wants to know

how many big coins are being mined with the computers here. but they only get a quick look inside a no answers. the projected have nothing has changed compared to last year. we'll try to analyze it a bit more later from the photos and videos. we know roughly what's going on here. no big limits. that much of the kind of a you ever go president to kayla county. da's demo mining is the key technology for the big calling nice ation of the country. today, the project feels neglected, an ultra modern potemkin village. back in the real village with a sanchez family. douglas and his wife have raised 7 daughters and several grandchildren. without access to clean drinking water,

he also has rain water with sugar to his gas. the vic to penya pretends to drink out of politeness sees this case and sure the water is also said to help with anxiety, a little buckle. stephen, just most of his to go now the toner has a static a corner. god knows that because of the thing i'm going to call you here about is how these big coin profits are going to solve the countries problem. me and okay, so now i could get that. i'm yeah, yeah and, and maybe something we'll change that and if you put a handle on it, whereas if it's true that it will support a lot of projects. that's great. and not a month on that for the echo a city when, if i know that i don't want to be selfish about that, but we have a real emergency here with drinking. why?

the number one number had to check it out. i wonder fixed and i went for 5 me a little without the infrastructure investment douglas center says grand. some will also grow up without running water . victo opinion, doubts the bitcoin will help with that. what are you at the ending but it's what needs to maybe it will help the be invest is in the government itself. everyone who believes in and promotes these between religion and miss beverly, but i don't think it will help communities like these. at least i don't see a plan that also takes to pull people into account and see what i want to say. i know somebody okay out of it really gets to me it hurts to see children in these conditions, especially because i have a daughter bad by identifying with the one thing. i always say that i do this with because i have the advantage of seeing these needs. i was right on the front line. they soon enough what i say,

but it really get us to meet my 60 i the and then i mean we have to make her fam, which of the middle of the family. and it's just painful to see children having to live like this and pick them, watch them. okay. and what's your basis? i want to give these people a voice for k expensive and people who's been condemned to silence since the stone, you know, then sealants got evicted, comments that on your cut. ok. i think i can bridge the gap here so important that but i so that's why i'm doing everything. i can to tell the story along the way that it went out and he started with the facts in guatemala, patrick nelda and l. e. as uh, us case hi has set up

a bit calling wallets for the stuff of a motorcycle rental company. are you list? i'm going to the metal mini lukea sending you money right now. you know, say yes, reach to transactions there instantaneous. sometimes 1 dollar. and where can i withdraw this in cash? just so you can move it on like a human atm. you call me and i'll give you the money you'll being what do you give me beat coins and i'll give you cash. it's very simple. and we don't charge you anything for the exchange, so no quarter or more we want to in a very exciting and once people understand how it works, everyone move on to use the coding. i have some dallas right now, but i'll have to discuss it with the boss 1st. let's see. looks interesting, but i'm not totally sure. especially because the value fluctuate so much more like

the sunrise impact chance. the st. dogs, a waking up i patrick belda is speaking at the school. today. we're going to introduce the new bitcoin coursework. me put him out of the coin and 3 d printer. it's going to be exciting. the children at these private school as opposed to learn about bitcoin and why it's important for them. well, welcome, everybody. big point is a, is a money. okay. just like what i have in my pocket, get some money. that's paper money. see i and big point is a digital mind. what was the level book? let's talk about food cooling. be recording is digital money. he said, is goal is that is a key hi. translates because patrick meld, it doesn't spill down. it is the middle of the heat, the, the difference between this and this is the government says,

this is worth something. but the government says, this isn't worth anything. i can buy hundreds of these pads and, and make as much of this as if i wanted to print it keeps on this. i could make it make as much of it as i wanted to. that's essentially what the government's doing with the gets a bit coined is my goal, it's what we call digital gold. you can start saving it now, so that when you're older and you have much greater well, proponents kind of big calling based development age would help reduce dependence on the global know that this or ptolemy would create sustainable prosperity will to everyone trust these grand promises. being too many the incense sounds i don't. jeff gallus county's delegation are about to attend an event at the ministry. el salvador native nelson, you know,

is also joining them. the event is geared towards bitcoin us and respond to some of the dig attached to it. i'm excited to hear about the digital strategy of so there are still some unanswered questions, even from last year. what's going on with bitcoin city? what's planned, what's happening in my experience, we can ask, i'm pretty open questions at these meetings and also talk to the experts in the old and the answer to the best of their knowledge. nelson n o has lived in germany for several years. he hopes bitcoin can help his native country. i'm have gotten a year and a half ago, i only to have bills out the door some way to visit because my parents lived here before i started cc. how much then business develop? really, lots of people are saying that they'll sell the door, could eventually become a country like seeing a pool of that and, and i see that the opportunities, the math i can see, but we have very big challenge and also to them nelson n o is looking forward to getting new information from the government,

just like everyone else here. the minister of the economy has canceled fund president boot kayla is causing will speak. she gives the same presentation about big calling as long as the city. is there a timeframe or she will detail that when you go to bills, things like the do all the benefits needed to our city about city. we do not have a try to be created. we have like projects bitcoin as a starting to wonder how seriously the government is taking the big calling project as well. and slides, lots of, i don't think the slides or the lecture provided any answers about how this is going to be implemented. or a time frame of when it will all take place. the question is, what's really behind this? is this just made for investors?

what will come of you in the end? possibly that's the question. we turn to one of the country's most critical economic voices. tatiana moto keen, well, i know how are you, are you saying? yeah, i have a pretty bad fever, but i hope will be better and 2 days, then we can skype and peace. journalist victo opinion wants to show us how many people in el salvador and money, la, my already i left for let's see on this device. and not most people here don't have a formal jump, no steady monthly income. so they subsist, they search as we say here. so please said i won't we arrive at the traditional capital market in the east of the country. the data hadn't been there. 99,

the people know me. you want to understand the economic dynamics of these country. these, these, the reality people get up very early, some drive to 4 hours just to buy and so capital. that's what i would have been very compressed. so then the victor opinion has been use documenting these capital markets for authentic projects. business here is a cash in hand. any bell rebates is a professional hagler? hey, what's that one worth back there? i'm going in. lots of strong animals. get that it'll give me 10 more. i'll forget it. i'll go over there. every dona is handled over the profit margins us me and have to sprint fund

a brand. see you video like the $1600.00 for it? oh no 15 take between no, no, it's not worth anything here. it's not for them or you don't know what it is. they say this money is in circulation, but it doesn't work here. i get on the we want dollars the these lines don't trade is don't like the idea of the clients, the land, vanessa. people need to smell the money to feel it in their hands, and so they show, they can use it, i've added it and they've got on the they get when that's how the local economies built in the end of the month. it's i think almost across between has nice male yellow it'd be going no way back to the ministry. the big

polinos confront the governments about the crash at the crypto exchange at the x. they want to know if the data and big coins are affected on says a not to ball coming, goes down. those are the, the big going on. he's only running away from makes change for exchange. unfortunately, we don't have that type of information. we will have to come back for you that some people come to the discussions of those 10 network, big calling and the state. and it really was go to the cash to there's a culture clash between bitcoin culture and politics. give them bitcoin is very open and transparent people, but it's critical in the sense of being the scientifically inquisitive and big corners of people who are very open and honest. who want answers to everything. and in general, politicians are people who just say whatever they need to,

when in doubt, they'll say they don't, you know, rather than giving an honest answer, us secretary bizarre, stuck the, we ask economies, tatiana model keen walk. she thinks after yeah, a big going hello. the promise was financially inclusion. that's what the between law says. we can actually see that there's no benefit in financial inclusion, not for people leaving inside of our and not for people being outside and send them. remington stores have both, it's actually too risky. and i think it's the same reason why people in several ways not using it. the state gave every citizen a want it to big going was $30.00 when tatiana opened, has she saw her account was already being used? it was stolen. yes. be going is sad about it's

a representation of how the government not like hiding a lot of information and they do things from one day to the other. and if you, as a citizen, criticize some of the things or the details about what they are doing, they actually harass you. so yeah, there are a lot of jordan, a lease that has the gases i have big as to the spice software on her cell phone, installed by of government. the fact that such an it's an important day for the long ago bitcoin project. the biggest challenge is raising the money and we're in a barrel market right now. and when we're in a barrel market excitement and enthusiasm about investing them, bitcoin projects just kind of goes down naturally as you would expect. and so it,

because of that it's, it's super challenging. yeah. patrick, mount the has invited big coin is from all over the world. possibly because he urgency needs investors. that above all, he needs publicity, but he's mining from waste project. the prototype has to, we know that his gas bitcoin mining for environmental protection, sounds good, but can it be implemented on a large scale? everyone here knows that boom only generates tiny sums of money because i have 3 electricity. i think it's great. yeah, i don't know how well it scales off, but it's a fantastic initiative. they say they make money here, but i don't see any come out. all right,

so thanks for coming here. yeah, it looks chunky. it looks homemade because it is what, what we've demonstrated here is a proof of concept. there's a reason, there's no wind or solar capacity here because it's too expensive. it's waste from population centers. okay, what can we do at the lowest cost and nominator the cheapest way possible to get mining going in and financial? and this is, this is, it just makes perfect sense for decentralizing mining and hash big point networks. and this is a way to bring in developing countries in the global so to be a part of this revolution. not just creating a big point, circular economy where people bring the big horn, but actually bring the technology, which is super, super excited. now that they've seen the prototype, it's time for the main project, the heading into the mountains to receive each dumpsite the. 7

today's on sounds, it all begins hosting, one of the most important bits, calling conferences in the wells, adopting bitcoin j one. this is partly about how you promote the adoption of bitcoin. how you get that out to the people. oh, salvador is a permanent starting point, of course, because it's already relevant here in practical terms. but it's also about how to make a big claim better and faster and see best on shadow. hundreds of big calling is entrepreneurs and developers have arrived and don't age by price drops. in the past few months, the conferences focus is on making big calling more accessible. jeff, kansas is sharing a panel on the topic the while they discussed technical problems on stage. others up busy network

nelson, you know, things that is being too little education so far he's developed to tutorial, to help with that. give me a community. we need more ways of showing between to the people who need it most. and these are not the people who come here from europe or north america. it's the cell, the door and food have the opportunity to use between every day the get. in fact, the movie type hobbies stay on the students and indeed us, they stay in loan you on. at the other end of the country, victo opinion visits the place where bitcoin city is set to be built, the smoke of like a hint, then look at us when young. it's not that people don't want to dream, but we can dream of 1st well projects when we don't have the basic education pearl seem like on the last say that we've got cooler access to health care and they can

all make policies a bankrupt. so what do you think i have going on? because it's done in cuba, there's no sign of the makeup project, but i'm at the old president promised a new airport as a connection to be cohen c. c. from the promise to pacific train for him. if he promised a bridge for the last 2 of those highway of charles, he promised to stadium that you, but we haven't seen any of it so fun. when will be spent on the tape, what is the lucky enough? could you imagine going abroad? if the political situation continues like this, alex here is. uh, yes. okay. the, unfortunately, the only time will tell us that the aggressions into tax are getting worse and more threatening. kind of a my flip, the coffee having that sound and because i'm a pessimist, i think we'll have to go that way eventually. good. ok, who's coming? look at them and look at them. and in that one moment that

ok. but wherever i go, i still work as a journal entry. well, yes, and you're not seeing the doing the much kaiser has advised el salvador was president the, the conference comes to an end. there was a lot of talk about freedom and sovereignty. and little about this situation in the country, the current state of emergency watson discussed on any panel in any of the individuals in here. we're at a big between conference and we're not here to talk about the human rights situation in el salvador. i think when you, when those salvatore,

you have to take off the european glasses book and try to observe it as impartially as possible as not to drawing our own conclusions. when done, listen, i mean we're not politicians either. we're individuals who have come together here out of and that was the as him forbid coins. i'll answer the mentioned he owns right now. it's working and they'll salvatore. and maybe they'll come a point when he doesn't work anymore. i don't have any definite answers, either. several can and treating unfortunate bitcoin in el salvador today seems like more of a symbol than a payment system. it means very different things to different people. for some, it's the dawn of a digital future. for others, it sounds more like another wild goose chase, the,

it's a final stop in guatemala. the plan here is to, to, and trash into digital goals and help finally tackle the trash problem in kind of such as the that came with the my very sense to see how trash he's managed here in guatemala, is. but you can see tvs, you'd see 100 times moles which will eat the sad thing is that apple locations don't care about anything course. and those are but a coupon for them. uh, there are people who leave off trash. i shouldn't that give you the, the lowest with when it rains this just pours down seats into the water shed. and then if you get over here, all of this trash and some form, all the contaminants are coming out of this landfill down into the water shed and into the lake. and that's, that's the problem that we're trying to solve. patrick mount the wants to build

a plan to the waste, salting, and bio gas. he'll make it profitable by using the electricity generates to mind big coins, a multi $1000000.00 project. and our model, we want to take some of that big coin, the decentralized basic income and put it back into the community because this is, this is their waste. so they have a right to retain that, that benefit, that goal. you know, when the spaniards in europe hands were here 4 to 500 years ago, they took all the goals from the land. massive transfer wells from central south america took it to europe and the coins digital gold and the digital go, it doesn't look like gold, but it's energy digital gold and we want it to stay here in central and south america. there's certainly no lack of vision among bitcoin is in latin america. they want to believe that they coined will help everyone.

6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 so the answer is this kind of success with sim sebastian. ve israel, how much small booth briefly to an open courtroom with the hague productivity as welcome to move, including my guess was stuff about booting and the westbank has the palestinian national initiative. we've been in such a difficult situation, so how will the more and can garza ever be rebuilt? conflict in the same it is on the w, it may have been decommissioned,

but the new to power plant in mall belgium is busy as an ada. this is where a radio new clients are produced. this is where a radio new clients are produced. for cancer research and treatment to mon road line is a numerous task. clients need more nuclear power, focus on us. and 19 minutes d w, the we said there was never giving up every weekend

on dw, the, the, this is the, the news live from the lynn, i'm the in pakistan and the military response into your on is i'm about launch is latavia 3 strikes, 2 days off to iran attacks what it cold and rainy and terrorist group inside pakistan. also coming up on the program a cool in germany to band of growing political policy. thousands gathering violent protests against the far rights. all tenants which underneath the

money and welcome.
