El Salvador
Pred kratkim se obiskal El Salvador. Sledijo moje misli…
El Salvador je bil do 2018 ena najbolj nevarnih držav na svetu, vodena s strani tolp.
V 2019 je bil izvoljen nov, mlad predsednik Nayib Bukele, ki je zaprl 70.000 oseb in naredil red. *2024 je bil ponovno izvoljen za pet let s 85% glasovi.
Zgradil je ogromne zapore in notri pometu vse, ki so bili povezani s kriminalom, med tem procesom tudi nekaj nedolžnih sigurno:
kar mu EU in UN nonstop očitajo...
Medtem ko ga domačini ljubijo...
EU bi lahk prvo spucal pred svojim pragom, preden se vmešava v El Salvador. Verjetno jim ni všeč tole…
Poleg tega Bukele ni podpiral Covid terorizma…
Rekli so ti da treniri in pejt vn!
Proti agendi 2030!
Izven tega pa je Bukele znan po tem, da je uvedel bitcoin kot uradno denarno valuto in drži del obveznic v bitcoinu!
S tem je deloma v red spravil tudi državne bilance (višji rating moody/fitch).
*Post festum pomembne novice:

IMF Pushes El Salvador To Narrow Bitcoin Law For Funding
Medtem ko pri nas zategujejo davke, tam ustanavljajo Free trade cone brez davka:
Inovativnost je posledično prinesla kapital v državo:
🇸🇻 El Salvador has been selected by Tether, the world’s leading stablecoin firm, as the location for its first physical headquarters. Stablecoins, which function as cryptocurrencies with value tracked to that of other assets like the dollar, could help stabilize El Salvador’s $585M bitcoin portfolio and improve its currently lackluster economic growth. Tether’s decision was largely influenced by El Salvador’s new ICT Innovation Law, which offers a 15-year tax exemption for technology firms on income, property, and capital gains.
“El Salvador saw an 81% increase in tourist arrivals. This surge is largely due to its focused marketing strategies and development of new tourist attractions, including surf resorts and eco-tourism parks. The government’s initiative to promote the country as a safe and attractive destination, despite past safety concerns, has resonated with international tourists. Moreover, the adoption of Bitcoin as legal tender has piqued the curiosity of global crypto enthusiasts, further aiding its tourism.”
Tudi ni vse povezano s kripto…
• A private Turkish holdings company has invested $1.62B to enhance the country’s ports, intending to help turn El Salvador into a key player in Latin American logistics.
• As part of its Red Belt initiative, China has invested $200M into Surf City and another $40M to build the new BINAES National Library, aimed to help to propel educational, cultural, and technological development in the country.
Meanwhile, El Salvador's foreign direct investment increased by more than 75% in 2023, reaching almost $760 million. In the first quarter of 2024, it increased again by 8% from the same period in 2023.
🇸🇻 El Salvador will be allocated $650M from the Central American Bank for Economic Integration (Cabei) next year. The majority of the approved investments will go towards funding the development of new infrastructure projects, while just under half ($296M) will be set aside for projects which are already underway such as the Francisco Morazán Viaduct.
🇸🇻 El Salvador’s international airport received over **4.5M** passengers in 2023, representing a nearly 25% increase over 2022 figures. Five US cities — Houston, Los Angeles, Washington, New York, and Miami — represent both the largest sources of, and destinations for, passengers. Meanwhile, nearly half of all passengers who flew either in or out of the airport were flying with Colombian airline Avianca.

Kitajska investira v El Salvador na polno:
Inovativni pa niso le pri kripto plačilih, daleč od tega…
Posledično tam najdeš veliko zanimivih, podobno mislečih ljudi z vseh koncov sveta…
Priporočam ogled intervjuja, ki sta ga posnela prijatelja Ivor in Tim v El Salvadorju, medtem ko sem sam sipal rum in kokos - coco loco:) Govora je sicer od Venezuele…
Toliko na hitro. Poglobljen makro pregled države, ekonomije in predvideno trajektorijo pa napišem drugič (ni vse rožnato, seveda).
Evo še par slik (Surf city / Bitcoin beach / La libertad / Playa el zonte / Vulkan):
Načeloma je to država za poseben tip ljudi, predvsem crypto-entuziasti, mogoče surferji in tisti, ki radi raziskujejo neodkrite konce.
Nepremičnine niso podcenjene. Stroški življenja niso poceni. Delniški trg nefuncionalen. Hrana je bolj revna. Tudi ljudje so mogoče bolj odprti po drugih koncih Latinske Amerike. Inovacija in infrastruktura je šele v začetkih, potrebujejo še nekaj let, da pride do inflikcijske točke.
Je pa zanimiv njihov nov program, kjer dobiš potni list v zameno, da se tja preseliš in delaš:
Mogoče opcija za Plan C. Lahko se pa passport tudi kupi za $1mio v BTC.
Generalno nič ne zamujate, razen dobre družbe in posebnih ljudi. Vulkane, kokose, rum in surf se najde tudi drugje.
p.s. od takrat je gigant Tether prestavil tja njihov HQ:
Sprejeli so tudi veliko dobrih davčnih reform, ki so pospešili investicije. Če ste v kripto svetu, je to sedaj potencialno lokacija za sklad (0% davka).
Do naslednjič,
