New Bitcoin Statement from the President of El Salvador

El Salvador, the first country in the world to make Bitcoin official money, will start to receive 1 BTC every day from now on.

El Salvador, which has received 2381 Bitcoins so far and its investment of $ 105 million, has decreased to $ 41 million, is also gradually switching to Bitcoin purchase. President Nayib Bukele made the announcement with his tweet this morning and said, “From tomorrow, we start to receive 1 Bitcoin every day.”

Bukele recently gave an interview to Fox News from the US media and said that he no longer cares about the criticisms about Bitcoin purchases and the loss. The Central American country, El Salvador, passed the Bitcoin law in June 2021 and put it into effect in September. Later, the country that made Bitcoin purchases from time to time also received serious criticism about which wallet it bought with and where the BTCs were kept.

Bukele, on the other hand, stated that he made purchases from his own phone, sometimes seriously and sometimes ironically. A claim has also been made about the bankrupt FTX stock market in the past days, and it has been stated that El Salvador keeps its Bitcoins on the FTX stock market. Bukele flatly denied these allegations.
