I love my job. And, it turns out, I'm pretty good at it. Thanks to President Bukele’s transformation of El Salvador, a new generation of young Salvadorans is free to learn, build, dream, and achieve the extraordinary. The optimism is palpable, and the energy is so 🔥 Just look at these photos below. These are the faces of winners, leaders, pioneers and builders. And that is by our design. In today's @cuboplus class, they learned how to contribute to open source projects in our GitHub workshop. Because of our focus on this area, UNESCO recognized El Salvador as a global hotspot for technical capital excellence. This, too, was by design, and completely expected. Over the years, through the Bitcoin Office and ANIA, we have trained, mentored, taught and shifted the mindsets of hundreds of the best and brightest in El Salvador. The results are pure human flourishing and the massive acceleration of economic potential. The country's tech scene is surging because of my students and this is just the beginning. Generation Bukele is winning, and this is what that looks like.
Day 1 of the GitHub Workshop is live! Moisés Iglesias (@_JMoises_ ) from @bitcoinofficesv is leading the session, equipping CUBO+ students with essential development tools. This is how we train world-class builders.🇸🇻

Look closer, and tourism tells a bigger story. 🇸🇻 From its Pacific coast and surf to its mountains, landscapes, traditions, flavours and communities, El Salvador shows tourism in many forms. In two days, El Salvador hosts the world for #WTD26.

Así como avanza la tecnología, también deben avanzar los gobiernos, y un claro ejemplo es El Salvador. Me llena de satisfacción que nuestro país sea presentado como referente y modelo para otros países.

Some of the background on how El Salvador came to be highlighted as a reference for AI and technology deployment.
El Salvador is positioned as one of the most advanced countries in Latin America in terms of regulation and governance of artificial intelligence (AI) , according to the most recent State of Preparedness Report for Artificial Intelligence prepared by UNESCO. "El Salvador stands out as a unique case in the region. In a short period, the country has built a distinctive regulatory and institutional framework (…) Added to this are large-scale international alliances, which project El Salvador into the global debate on AI in the public sector,” said Lidia Brito, Acting Assistant Director-General for Social and Human Sciences at UNESCO, during the report's presentation.

It's happening! Since tweeting this I've had a chance to talk to a couple of people involved in sailing and investing in EL Salvador. The local sailing federation is opening their doors for us. I already found an amazing coach specifically focusing on 7-14yo children who will now be relocating to El Salvador. The federation is operating on an impressively small budget, so I will need to find a way to help them raise some funds for the coach and some local sailing competition to bring awareness and spread the word. If any of you would like to donate to the cause or sponsor local children regattas it would be amazing and highly appreciated. This is what it's like in El Salvador. If you truly try - things just happen.
Might mess around and open a Sailing school and a pediatric physical therapy center in El Salvador. Stay tuned.

The amount of money pouring into data centers is astronomical. The buildout of America’s railroads - one of the greatest infrastructure projects in history - reached roughly 1.6% of GDP. We are now building AI infrastructure at an even larger scale - estimates are 2.8% of GDP. This may be the largest infrastructure buildout of our lifetime.
