Starting a journey of series Archflash which will include all the juices of news one needs.
Bitcoin city
In news lately, Bitcoin city's name has been surfaced. Our good old El Salvador which by the way is the only country to accept Bitcoin as a legal tender has announced the project of bitcoin city.
The President Nayib Bukele announced about his future plans regarding the city. The city will be based entirely upon the use of crypto mainly bitcoin. Considering this project to be a smart city. As the term "Smart City" itself is indicative of the fact that all the future technology will be present in the most advanced form on top of that everything connected to bitcoin. which is all backed by bitcoin bond.
The other catch of this project is that it will entirely run on a volcano support! Don't get confused. In simple terms, The city will be build around the volcano as it will run on it's geo thermal energy. and the bonds are issued on volcanic energy.
Even the president is claiming that the proposed city would have no capital, income or property gain taxes. This all system is done through bitcoin bonds which will be raised this year.
The president wants the city to be like the historic cities built and run by late Alexandra.
Now it totally depends upon the future executions which will prove the legitimacy of all the amazing claims by the government of El Salvatore.

How 'inception-ous" it seems like :p!
Anyway, it is delightful to witness the grab of architects on the virtual gaming era as well. This simply expands the field foothold.
Basically, the pub-g game will include the 3 medical centres by Zaha hadid architects and the players can use and explore it as easily as they are accustomed to the regular maps. This will bring edge to the game and players will receive much interesting kick while playing.

This can easily cater new players and it's certainly a kick edge performance provider.
But a funny challenge still lies that many players instead of exploring environmental space around the game, they just focus on the play strategy, the shooting etc which can be a bummer.
None the less, this step is going to surely pic high volume in the industry.
So, that's it for the first digest of the ArchFlash with quick and easy news to learn about.
