Vera is dedicated to the microelectronic area in Penguin Group, a Paraguayan mining company. The enthusiastic wants to create a circular Bitcoin economy in her community. Three months after joining the Mineros Asic de Bitcoin Technical Service area in Paraguay, Lisa Vera combined her technical capabilities with an educational project in the Ko’e Rory community, in the department of Alto Paraná, east of Paraguay. His work is not limited to the diagnosis of failures in ASIC devices. It also seeks to bring knowledge about Bitcoin to children and young people through practical workshops. Vera met Bitcoin technology in 2024, in an event he was invited, and since then he decided to link his technical experience with teaching.
In Penguin Group, a mining company for which it works, receives and diagnoses machinery used for digital mining, determines the necessary repairs and controls the equipment before your office. That same precision method transfers it to community teaching, where it detects needs, designs learning strategies and verifies that children understand the concepts.

In Ko’e Rory, a rural colony, the training engineer addresses basic financial issues such as money savings and management, and then introduce the principles of Bitcoin. It uses simulated purchase and sale dynamics and simple examples that allow minors to understand how this digital currency can function as an economic independence tool. His goal is that, over time, The community builds a circular economy based on Bitcoin (BTC).
The educational project does not stay in the improvised classrooms. Vera seeks to involve adults and merchants, with the idea that they adopt BTC as a means of payment and value shelter, without relying on banks that impose restrictions.
«What I want is for each person to begin to see Bitcoin as a stable and safe currency.» Lisa Vera, Bitcoin enthusiast.

Paraguay aims to be a mining hub
Lisa’s initiative develops in a favorable context for mining and adoption of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies in Paraguay. The country offers abundant hydroelectric energy and competitive rates, which has attracted companies and migrants seeking alternatives against regulatory uncertainty in their countries of origin. Fernando Arriola, head of Blockchain at the Paraguayan Chamber of Fintech, told Cryptonoticia last August that Paraguay works on converting its energy surplus into a magnet for the mining industry. In addition, the Paraguayan tax scheme reinforces this attraction. Czech developer Jan Kotas, co -founder of the Bitcoin Paraguay community, argues that the tax residence allows optimizing taxes by not taxing income generated outside the country. This advantage, added to the low cost of energy, He has promoted the arrival of digital nomads and entrepreneurs to the country since 2020.
In that expansion scenario, the work of Vera connects the large -scale infrastructure with base education. Teaching the little ones not only seeks to train future technicians or users of BTC, but also give the community tools to decide on their local economy.
