The city will be shaped like a circle (coin-like, if you will) and will utilize its nearby volcano’s energy to fuel mining operations. If you’re wondering where this unusual news comes from, well, look no further than the president of El Salvador himself: Nayib Bukele.
Bitcoin City isn’t just going to be a mining hub, however; it’s set to be a real city with proper commercial and residential areas, as well as an airport. The only tax that will exist within Bitcoin City is VAT tax.
