Large mining companies like HIVE, as well as educational organizations like Mi Primer Bitcoin, have landed in Guarani soil. Paraguay has been consolidating as a key center for the Bitcoin ecosystem in Latin America, with a boom in mining and advances in financial education based on this digital currency.
Large mining companies are expanding their operations in the country, while educational organizations are training citizens to promote the adoption of this technology. This movement reflects the growing interest in Bitcoin in the Guarani nation, which combines energy infrastructure with educational initiatives. Mi Primer Bitcoin, a non-profit organization founded in 2021 in El Salvador, brought its Bitcoin Diploma to Paraguay for the first time. In a workshop held in Asunción, 25 participants were trained as trainers in a program that combines the fundamentals of Bitcoin, the history of money, and economic systems.
The initiative, organized by Mi Primer Bitcoin Paraguay with the support of the local company Penguin Group, marked a milestone for the organization, which has impacted communities in 36 countries. The workshop, called Teacher Certification Program in Paraguay, attracted more than 50 applications, but only 25 were selected to ensure the quality of training, as reported by the company.
The Bitcoin Diploma, composed of 10 chapters, addresses everything from the evolution of money to the functioning of distributed digital ledger technology. Participants, from various regions of Paraguay, received pedagogical tools to conduct dynamic workshops tailored to their communities.
"We are forming a community of educators that promote financial education based on Bitcoin," said Bruno Vaccotti, facilitator of Mi Primer Bitcoin Paraguay, as reported in a press release sent to CriptoNoticias.
Gabriel Palma from Mi Primer Bitcoin El Salvador noted that this was the first time the organization conducted the workshop at an international level, describing it as a mutual learning experience. Bitcoin mining has a clear presence in Paraguay.
This educational advance occurs in a context of sustained growth of Bitcoin mining in Paraguay. The country, benefiting from its abundant hydroelectric energy, attracts large transnational companies. HIVE, one of the leading mining firms, recently completed the first phase of 100 MW at its center located in the Yguazú district, as reported by CriptoNoticias.
The company plans to install more than 20,000 mining machines before the end of May, consolidating Paraguay as one of the Latin American countries with the greatest development in this sector.
Mining and education complement each other in the Paraguayan ecosystem. While mining operations generate jobs and utilize energy resources, initiatives like the Bitcoin Diploma empower citizens with knowledge about the technology and its economic potential.
The 25 new trainers are now prepared to take the program to their communities, fostering an informed generation about digital finances. "It is encouraging to see the interest in learning and applying this knowledge," Vaccotti expressed.
Paraguay thus positions itself as a benchmark in the region, combining mining infrastructure with financial education. The arrival of companies like HIVE and the work of organizations like Mi Primer Bitcoin strengthen an ecosystem that not only drives the adoption of Bitcoin but also prepares its citizens for an increasingly digital financial world.
