I've spent 20 years trying to solve the mercury crisis in gold mining through non-profits and certification.
I learned the hard truth: Charity doesn't scale. Incentives do.
Miners don't use mercury because they hate nature. They use it because they need fast cash to survive fiat inflation. They burn their future to feed their families today.
I am pivoting to build #PactoOro in El Salvador πΈπ».
It is an industrial Liquidity Engine:
We buy raw ore from miners for instant Bitcoin/Cash.
We use Prof. Marcello Veiga's industrial gravity tech to recover >90% (vs. miners' 30%).
We use that arbitrage to pay them double the black market rate.
We don't ask them to stop polluting. We out-compete the pollution.
The Veiga Protocol is ready. I am looking for the sovereign builders to help architect the Lightning Treasury rails.
We're using sound money to fix the world. β‘οΈβοΈ
