Bitcoiners Back El Salvador #BitcoinDay
When Bitcoiners opined as to which nations would adopt bitcoin first, most suggested it would end up being ‘rogue nations’ crippled by sanctions – the likes of North Korea or Iran, who gained little from the current petrodollar system.
Instead, it proved to be a democratically elected government of a republic with a population just over 6.5 million people, a mere 13 years after its creation. It’s difficult to overestimate the significance of this.
As a sign of support for El Salvador, Bitcoiners around the world have decided to purchase US$30 worth of bitcoin to match the amount the government is offering citizens for downloading its digital wallet.
