This memorable quote from Augusto Roa Bastos, the first and only winner of the Cervantes Prize from our country, captures the essence of our reality: a country without significant deposits of gold, silver, or oil, without direct access to the sea, and timidly located between two giants, Argentina and Brazil. Paraguay, with its mere seven million inhabitants, has endured almost everything a peripheral nation can suffer: wars that have decimated it, multilateral treaties with no real benefits, poor infrastructure, low industrialization, and an economy focused on primary production. Experts say that Paraguay feeds ten times its population. They call it the “breadbasket of the world,” even though hunger and malnutrition still affect 40% of its inhabitants. It is a country that produces without consuming, that gives without receiving. From the Austrian School's perspective, this reveals a deeply distorted economic order, where intervention and centralized control have prevented the emergence of a truly free market capable of genuinely responding to human needs. And yet, Paraguay has powerful resources: a pleasant climate, no natural disasters, and a clean and abundant energy matrix. The hydroelectric plants of Acaray, Itaipú, and Yacyretá far exceed national consumption, generating surpluses that are sold to neighboring countries. But that energy does not translate into internal development. Why? Because we remain prisoners of a system in which decisions are made far from the citizen, within structures that deny individual and collective protagonism. Here lies a possibility: bitcoin mining. Despite the rate increases imposed in 2022 and 2024, Paraguay still offers exceptional conditions for this industry, which rewards efficiency, freedom of choice, and the intelligent use of resources. And although profit margins are among the lowest in history, that is precisely an opportunity: when many are pulling out, those who understand the long-term value are preparing to build. Traditional financial education, when it exists, tends to be superficial and prescriptive. It teaches us to obey rules, not to understand or question them. That's why, when I discovered bitcoin, my mind was blown: for the first time, I saw a tool that brought together technological and financial education, not as separate subjects, but as a single emancipatory language. Bitcoin is education for freedom. “Human beings are programmed to learn,” said Paulo Freire. But he also warned that all learning carries an ideological burden. What happens when education is designed to tame, not to liberate? What happens when we only have access to a part of history, carefully selected by those in power? That's where bitcoin comes in as an antidote. “Study bitcoin” is much more than a slogan: it is an act of epistemic disobedience. It is inviting others to light their own lantern and walk a path that no one else can walk for them. As Walter Bender said: “Program to avoid being programmed.” The libertarian philosophy of the Austrian School intersects here with Freire's critical pedagogy: both reject the authoritarianism of imposed knowledge and advocate for the individual's role in constructing meaning. We will talk about technology, yes. But we will also talk about power, sovereignty, justice, and inequality. Because what is at stake is not just learning how to use a wallet: it is understanding the invisible mechanisms that programmed us to be obedient within the traditional financial system, and how bitcoin finally offers a way out. A farmer without access to a bank can have a wallet. A community can trade without depending on external structures. This is not a utopia: it is already happening in El Zonte, El Salvador, where bitcoin circulates among farmers as a legitimate means of exchange. We are not talking about theory, but about liberating practices.
