The president of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, published images of the urban planning of Bitcoin City, which he announced last year would be built in his country very soon.
Bukele shared some photographs on his Twitter account where you can see a scale model or model of what Bitcoin City would be, located on the valley of the Conchagua volcano. “Bitcoin City is looking very pretty”, he said in the tweet.
As anticipated in November of last year (2021), the city will be built around a central square that would bear the Bitcoin logo. The photos shared by Bukele they show buildings, road arteries, streets, recreation areas and a seaport.
The photos also show in detail what would be some squares, monuments and public spaces of the Bitcoin city.
Besides, photographs were shared of what would be the international airport to build in the region, and that would serve the city.
In the pictures Bukele appears in conversation with Fernando Romero, renowned Mexican architect who designed the New International Airport of Mexico City, a project whose construction was canceled by the President of Mexico Andres Manuel López Obrador, although the architect received international awards for his design.
Bitcoin City, a little surprise in the middle of the bear market
The publication of Bukele takes the ecosystem by surprise amid a sharp drop in the price of bitcoin (BTC). In addition, yesterday, May 9, the president announced the purchase of 500 more BTC in the name of El Salvador, taking advantage of the low price of the cryptocurrency.
Given the state of emergency that has been in effect in the Central American country for more than 1 month, and which has sent more than 26,000 suspected criminals to prisonBukele had not commented on Bitcoin and its adoption in El Salvador since then.
These would be the first comments and concrete actions on Bitcoin for a few months. It should be remembered that Bukele canceled his participation in the Bitcoin Conference, held in Miami during the month of April, CriptoNoticias reported. Likewise, the launch of the “Volcano Bonds” has been long in coming, although on May 2, Finance Minister Alejandro Zelaya stated that they were waiting for Bitcoin to rise in price to issue them.
