Honestly, if they have a better electricity rate then it would have been awesome.

This is just the miner situation

Right, if you were planning on moving to El Salvador to mine bitcoin (or anything else), then that rate (I assume you mean $0.20/kWh) is quite high--over double what most utility companies charge in the US. Still, even with a rate that high, don't you think it would still be profitable to mine? That isn't a completely outrageous electricity cost, just higher than average. I wouldn't think it'd be a deal-breaker.

This is not a bad idea, ideas like this are always going to attract big investors to El Salvador.So the president knows what he’s doing. Another area I think they should look into is the area of security. I have seen a lot of people who complain about how bad it can be living in El Salvador, and they have said that it is not a safe place to live because of things like street gangsters and the rest of them.

That would be my main concern if I were contemplating a move there--and frankly, I do find the idea to be enticing even if I'm not a crypto entrepreneur myself. El Salvador does have a problem with crime, and that's putting it mildly. I'm not sure how safe it'd be for a gringo like me to move there and expect to not be hassled when going about my daily business.

Anyone know if there's a section of the country where the wealthy live? I'd be curious to know what the houses look like and how much they go for.
