By 2017, I was peripherally aware of the existence of Bitcoin as an idea, though it remained unknown to me as a global phenomenon.

In March 2021, crypto entrepreneur and investor David Johnston moved his parents, wife, three daughters, and company with him to Puerto Rico. The 36-year-old, who has been involved in the crypto ecosystem since 2012, says the decision to relocate from Austin was kind of a no-brainer.

In the wake of mudslides, wildfires and hurricanes, Southern California elected officials joined the mayor of Puerto Rico's capital city on Sunday, promising to support each other in responding to climate emergencies. The officials drew climate change connections in the struggles following Hurricane Maria in 2017, the worst recorded natural disaster in Puerto Rico history, and the Woolsey Fire that forced nearly 300,000 people from their homes last November and created conditions for mudslides Saturday night that closed a stretch of the Pacific Coast Highway near Malibu.

President Trump late Friday renewed his claim that Puerto Rico’s death toll from Hurricane Maria was doctored, even after receiving widespread criticism for casting doubt on the deaths of nearly 3,000 people. Citing a Washington Post report that mentioned the fact that Puerto Rican officials initially told Trump only 16 people had died in the hurricane, the president questioned how the death toll then climbed to 64. “Then, like magic, ‘3000 PEOPLE KILLED,’” he tweeted.

Carmen Yulín Cruz, the mayor of San Juan, Puerto Rico, blasted President Trump on Thursday after the president claimed without evidence that the death toll from Hurricane Maria had been inflated by Democrats to make him look bad.

A photographer working for a Puerto Rican police agency reportedly caught a glimpse of a stockpile of bottled water on a runaway in the city of Ceiba. The water was believed to be part of relief efforts after Hurricane Maria wrought devastation on the US territory in September 2017. A year later, the photographer, Abdiel Santana, said the stockpile of what could be millions of water bottles were still standing on the tarmac.

President Trump said Tuesday that one of his administration's "best jobs" was the response to the hurricanes in Puerto Rico last year, storms that officials estimate led to the deaths of nearly 3,000 people. Trump was asked what lessons the government could take from 2017 as the federal government prepares for Hurricane Florence to barrel into the mid-Atlantic coast later this week.
