2021: a blessed year for crypto in Latin America
Since the start of the year, the adoption of cryptocurrencies in Latin America has continued to grow .
After making Bitcoin a legal tender, El Salvador continues to advance its government mining farm project , powered by geothermal energy from volcanoes in the territory.
