Pictures from El Alto, Bolivia



El Alto is a Aymara city perched at the rim of the canyon in which the world's highest capital, La Paz, is nestled. So El Alto, at 13,615 feet, is higher than La Paz. It is also poorer, confirming the trend I'd noticed in Andean Peru and in Lima: material wealth diminishes with elevation. The gated communities and the fancy stores are at the lowest points of La Paz. Complexion also changes with the drop in elevation: from Aymara dark brown to Spanish white. Evo, whom I mentioned in my last post, is a hero in El Alto, but the billboards celebrating his election victory disappear as you descend.

Despite the naked brick buildings and the generally unsanitary conditions, El Alto is full of entrepreneurial energy. The city market is full of every imaginable commodity -- second hand cars, cattle, clothes -- and sprawls over dozens of blocks. Some of the prosperity shows in El Alto: the wealthier Aymaras have offices with glass facades on their originally naked brick buildings.

Earlier this year, I fell for a cryptocurrency scam, A scumbag who assured me of my ability to make a significant profits. He professed to have helped people invest and make reasonable earnings,I had no idea what he was doing, less did I know he was as an unregistered cryptocurrency dealer. They took $1,250,000 worth of cryptocurrency from me. I was left devastated and troubled cause it was my entire life savings and this happened to me As a result of believing feedback and internet endorsements. But lucky me I got introduced to SILVER HACK DIGITAL RECOVERY, a group of licensed hackers, is a pioneer in cryptocurrency recovery. They were able to retrieve all my money once I got in touch with them. I can only express my gratitude to them by conveying my feelings to the world.

So in my prime age, I have never been told that fraud happens in all aspects even in those that you least expect or on those areas that you thought were the safest. I thought storing some of my wealth in BITCOIN was safest since I get to keep the wallet safely with the known keys and seed. At least this way, my wealth grows in value as well. So apparently it took a single malware and around $980,000 from my wallet was gone. This was to my utter surprise and shock! When I got to reach out to EXNER PRO HACKER, I had given up on everything including life itself. If not for this guy's reassuarance and expertise to get back all of my wealth back, my mind had taken me to a really dark place. You can imagine Mr EXNER PRO HACKER did all these in close to two days. I don't wish such fraud experience to anybody at all. If by chance you have fallen victim, take heart and seek help. I'll leave his email downbelow just incase you too need his help: Exnerprohacker@protonmail.com. Thank you so much for your help.

GET YOUR MONEY BACK FROM BITCOIN & CRYPTOCURRENCY SCAMS.

I advise first-time bitcoin investors to do their research before entrusting any of these Bitcoin investment websites with their hard earned funds. They gain your trust by portraying fake huge profits to convince you to put more funds, till when you invest a substantial sum, they intentionally freeze your account and demand for more payments to have your profits released. I had invested with a bogus company that ripped me off $198000 worth of Crypto, this was close to everything I Had in my savings. special thanks to Captain WebGenesis, whose recovery company put in a lot of effort and made sure I had my money back If you ever find yourself in a similar scenario, you can reach out to Captain WebGenesis through;

It was never an easy ride to recovering my lost investment funds with the help of THECYBERGOAT RECOVERY FIRM. I lost my hard earned funds $600,000 worth of crypto currency when I invested with a binary option site. A broker I met on Instagram last year deceived and lured me into investing with their crypto company. It wasn’t the right decision by me trusting a total stranger with my hard earned funds which really hunted me. Without the recovery services of thecybergoat(@)techie. com, I could have been out on the streets since I could barely take care of the kids let alone paying the rents which were almost due to expire. thecybergoat professionals took control of my case after I had reached out to them which turned around my story. I was in awe the day when thecybergoat sent me an email requesting I send them my wallet that my lost investment funds have been " SUCCESSFULLY RETRIEVED " and on sending my wallet I received back most of my funds which I thought I had lost forever. about $430,000 was recouped. I never thought it would all end up in glory which is why I urge any victim of scam that there is refuge in thecybergoat team with their mind blowing and efficient recovery services. They were equipped with the necessary tools for a successful retrieval pushing themselves beyond their limits to attain remarkable results for their clients. Well, ask me about a recovery firm which is trustworthy and I tell you thecybergoat can be trusted with the retrieval of your lost investment funds. Don’t let doubts stop you from making the right decision and choosing the right and trustworthy recovery firm to handle your case, with the services of thecybergoat recovery firm, you can be sure of a successful retrieval of your lost investment funds.
