Think differently if you want to win: Where to put the money you earn regularly?

The meteoric rise of Bitcoin (BTC) has led to heightened investment, academic, commercial, numismatic, transactional, and practitioner interest in that cryptocurrency, as well as in the growing array of such instruments worldwide. This leads to an accentuated need for an examination of the historical evolution of Bitcoin as the seminal instrument in the development of cryptocurrencies, and this speech gives us some clues.

In Costa Rica, the "Pura Vida Ticos" are defenseless with a populist president Rodrigo Chaves-Robles and an Ombudsman Catalina Crespo-Sancho.

Giving the Ministry of Environment and Energy (MINAE) all the powers to authorize and supervise the new power plants in Costa Rica, is what the government is proposing. As a possible governing body, the MINAE would assume the responsibility that for decades has been in the hands of the Costa Rican Institute of Electricity (ICE GROUP), of deciding on the construction of electricity generating plants. 

 

Collegiate professionals are in crisis in Costa Rica. Among the innumerable populist measures, eleven executive decrees to eliminate the minimum fees of several professional associations were announced by the president on August 10 and signed during the independence commemoration activities on September 15, but it was not until October 7 that began to be published in La Gaceta. 

 

Several ministers, deputy ministers, and executive presidents of the government have had to resign, due to corruption issues or simply having opinions that differ from that of the president. The most emblematic case is that of the President of the Costa Rican Social Security Fund (CCSS).

 

Finally, the health of five million inhabitants in Central American Switzerland is at risk because, using government officials, the president decreed last July to postpone an air quality standard that has been in force since 2014 in Europe and since 2010 in the United States. 

 

Rodrigo Chaves does not accept opponents or criticism from the deputies of the Legislative Power or the Magistrates of the Judicial Power, in Costa Rica after May 2022, we must follow like sheep the criteria of the elected president, of a party that never had a presence in The congress.  

 

After having studied the blockchain and bitcoin for more than 5,000 hours, I am convinced that we cannot depend on banks, international corporations, or governments, whether they are "full democracies" like Costa Rica, or dictatorships like Nicaragua, Cuba, or Venezuela.
