HONDURAS LAUNCHES BITCOIN VALLEY AND WANTS TO BECOME A TOURIST HOTSPOT!

 


​Hope for Bitcoin Valley

The Bitcoin Valley program was created by the Municipality of Santa Lucia (Honduras) in cooperation with the Technological University of Honduras, Blockchain Honduras and the cryptocurrency exchange Coincaex . Bitcoin adoption continues to advance.


While Blockchain Honduras offers training on how to use crypto wallets , among other things , Coincaex provides the programs and services required to make payments in cryptocurrencies.


After taking a heavy hit with the outbreak of COVID-19, local businessmen are finally hoping that Bitcoin Valley will boost tourism spending in the tropical coastal nation. Honduras recorded annual tourism spending of around US$556 million in 2019, before falling more than 66 percent to US$189 million in 2020, according to data from Macrotrends, a global economy tracker.


Some Santa Lucia residents, such as shopping center owner Cesar Andino, also have very high expectations that the initiative will open up more opportunities & new avenues for doing business in the area and "attract more people who want to use this currency", according to a report by the Honduran news agency La Prensa.


Andino added:


Bitcoin acceptance will allow us to open another market and attract more customers. We have to globalize. We cannot shut ourselves off from technology, and we cannot lag behind when other countries are already doing so


The small country in Central America is thus laying the foundation for a future with new paths, thanks to Bitcoin. 


Carlos Leonardo Paguada, the founder of Blockchain Honduras and at the same time a representative of the Central American Association of Cryptocurrency Users (Acupcrip), recently told the Honduran press La Prensa that it is estimated that up to 60 companies will start the project.


These companies will then receive intensive training from the Decentral Academy on how to safely use Bitcoin and also blockchain technology.


As reported by La Prensa, traders are expected to receive Coincaex’s dedicated cryptocurrency outlets as early as this week or next.


With the launch of such new initiatives, Honduras joins a small group of regional states that will allow their citizens to use cryptocurrencies to officially pay for goods and services.

The 5 largest platforms for non-fungible token (NFT) collectibles

  Since the beginning of 2021, non-fungible tokens (NFT) have had no holding back and the sector is setting new records almost every day.  More and more artists, stars and brands are realizing the potential - NFT are well on their way to catapulting the crypto space into the mainstream.  But which collectibles are currently the most popular? What are NFT? NFT are unique tokens that cannot be exchanged one-for-one for an equivalent token.  Any asset that is tokenizable can be an NFT.  This includes, for example, (digital) works of art, trading cards, game items and crypto domains.  Theoretically, however, real estate or securities can also be mapped as NFT. NFTs can be used to transparently map ownership structures on a public blockchain.  This allows them to store value just like real objects, even if additional copies are easy to make.  For example, the original picture of the Mona Lisa is significantly more valuable than a photo, as everyone kno...

CARDALONIA: THE CARDANO METAVERSE OPENS THE GATES!

  Have you ever been to Cardalonia? With these words, the Cardano Metaverse called Cardalonia starts the gates. In this 3D world, developers and users can interact with each other. First of all, users have to create an individual character with which they can move online. After that you can enter one of the worlds built by developers with this character. You can also purchase your own land in the Cardano Metaverse via the marketplaces in Cardalonia . This is secured by Cardano's blockchain technology and therefore offers a relatively secure transfer of ownership. Since these are only digital plots of land, it is not yet entirely clear when the plots of land are purchased whether they can also be sold again in the future. A possible profit cannot be estimated at the moment. In Cardalonia, the cryptocurrency Lonia is used. The maximum amount of tokens in circulation is 100,000,000. The team consists of Alice Sand (Co-Founder), Vasil Air (CTO) and Dustan Water (Fullstack Developer). T...
