Google, a renowned tech giant, opens its doors in El Salvador in an effort to assist with this nation’s initiatives of digitalization. This step is taken as El Salvador declared that it would grant citizenship to 5,000 individuals with expertise in the tech field.
Google implements partnership projects demonstrating its engagement in the digitalization of government services, healthcare, and education. Through this partnership, there is an endeavor to introduce digital equality among the urban and rural areas of El Salvador. Additionally, Google is partnering with this country to implement a telemedicine platform that is either operated by machine learning or powered by it.
El Salvador’s president, Nayib Bukele, has stated that he is glad the headquarters of Google will be available in his country. The strategy of the country to buy Bitcoins every day, even as Bitcoin has dropped off its prices, has turned out positive after the dip in Bitcoin’s price over a short period. El Salvador’s portfolio of Bitcoin is about 5,689 Bitcoins, with an estimated return on investment of $58 million.
The drop in Bitcoin’s price influenced the accumulated digital assets of El Salvador, but the country still keeps its assets in profit thanks to the cryptocurrency purchases it made. Unlike other traditional financial institutions, El Salvador’s Bitcoin vault also receives many digital collectibles through the Ordinals protocol.
