El Salvador has started using volcanoes to mine Bitcoin

El Salvador is now the only country where Bitcoin can be used as a legal currency besides the US dollar. Since cryptocurrency mining is an excessive energy consumption, so has the country contemplation Use the energy promoted by volcanoes.

Now, this idea is off paper and El Salvador will really start mining bitcoin through volcanic energy.

Today, El Salvador woke up and learned, through a tweet from Nayib Bukele, that the first day of bitcoin mining with volcanic energy has arrived — a solution that came out in June of this year and aims to control the energy consumption associated with processing.  The country has already mined the equivalent of $269 in bitcoin, using energy from volcanoes.
Recently, the president posted a 25-second video with footage of a government-branded shipping container filled with bitcoin mining rigs, as well as technicians installing and connecting ASIC operators near a volcano.  Content described as "first steps..." has already gone viral.
