Deliveries of the lightyear one prototype are set to roll out next summer. Lightyear claims the prototype will only consume 83 WH/km - this is 2x less than any other electric car on the market. In theory, the prototype should be able to travel up 725 kilometers on a single charge A cheaper version is projected to come out to €50,000 with mass production in 2024.

Things are heating up in El Salvador. Coming September 7th, this tiny Central American country of 6 million inhabitants will be implementing Bitcoin as national legal tender to accompany the US Dollar. Being the first nation to take the charge on this front, it is will be interesting to see how this ambitious project develops. Will bitcoin be the answer to inflation that so many Latin American countries are in search of? Or is this the play of a tyrannical, authoritarian leader to try and win brownie points with the world's crypto enthusiasts and seize control of a national financial system with a phony app? Only time will tell, but no doubt this will be a spectacle to watch. #elsalvador #NayibBukele #Bitcoin #Cryptocurrency #ethereum

Since the invention of the car, we have imagined ways how we could swap rubber for wings and take off into the skies. Luckily for us, a convergence of technological advancements in carbon fiber materialization, 3D printing, and batteries have brought the “flying car” to life! Now you can invest.
