Gustavo Prieto a recognized Colombian political actor through his official account on the social network Twitter, published that coins virtual machines are pure information and therefore it is pure energy, so he proposes that renewable energy be used for its mined.
The Colombian politician proposed to use the massive waterfalls in the rivers of the mountain range that today are used for the cultivation of cocaine in that country, for the mining of cryptocurrencies, which is more profitable and beneficial for the New Granada country.
This Twitter is derived as a reaction to the use of the same social network by the president of The Savior when publishing they will use Energy geothermal for mining the cryptomoney Bitcoin , a process that has been the subject of so many negative comments due to the alleged environmental contamination.
El Salvador is not only marking a milestone in America by having the Bitcoin as currency legal, but also sponsors the use of geothermal energy for the process, which is also a milestone in all of America.
Although Colombia is within the 5 countries with the most adoption of cryptocurrencies according to the data provided by Chainalysis, The truth is that the process of massive mining of cryptocurrencies in Colombian territory has not started.

“And what if the Pacific coast took advantage of the steep falls of the rivers of the western mountain range to produce all the energy of the coast and replace cocaine with energy for cryptocurrencies?
The virtual currency is pure information and therefore energy ”.
Being one of the countries with acceptance and adoption of cryptocurrencies in Latin America, Colombia, if it proposes it, could take a leap forward and begin to change the internal financial system with the general adoption of cryptocurrencies.
