From this article on aljazeera > https://www.aljazeera.com/economy/2021/6/11/is-el-salvadors-bitcoin-embrace-a-cold-shoulder-to-the-usthe U.S are not at all happy with the new presidents decision to remove supreme court judges for being corrupt. The U.S have been meddling in the politics of El Salvador and other South American countries for years, I really do hope their infleuence has waned and that more weak and impoverished countries can break from the $ and find benefit from BTC. Some excerpts: More recently, US-Salvadoran relations have cooled since the US criticised Bukele’s move to dismiss Supreme Court judges and the country’s attorney general as a power grab. And a US Department of State report in May included five Salvadoran officials with close ties to Bukele on its list of allegedly corrupt Central American politicians. Yet because El Salvador uses the dollar as its currency, its monetary policy is wedded to the US’s even as relations falter. That could explain the motivation behind the Bitcoin move, said Johnathan Ordonez, an international consultant with Guatemala-based think-tank LAB-CA, the Central American Laboratory for Innovation and Public Policy.

@aoluain. The toppling of a regime begins. I reckon we need the wisdom of the crowd. There should be a prediction market created for this asking if President Bukele will finish his presidential term or not. Also follow updates from Jack Maller. He might be censored from social media if he continues to be outspoken about developments on bitcoin adoption in El Salvador.

What other countries presently uses American dollars as their currency? They should follow El Salvador. This is significant and this might only be the beginning of bitcoin as a political movement. The CIA can topple all those regimes that would adopt bitcoin, however, can they topple all of them? yes, they can topple all of them (and already did throughout the 20 th century) they can topple the people too, but that's much more expensive (and obvious) than toppling their rival gangsters so that's why I focus on completely ignoring what the government gangsters are saying. normal people can do it without them, and more effectively Agreed. I am as skeptical as you, however, the significance of this new law is what you have just told us. It will help spread use of bitcoin then it would open the people’s eyes that they do not need laws to enforce the use of bitcoin and the cryptospace. It will be seen as a revolutionary movement and a type of political tool. This might be very significant. that's also true. the use of BTC would spread over time without any politicians doing something related to it. now it also attracts the attention of IMF and the US sanction might come too. this is however securing the win for Bukele's position. he doesn't seem to be like a fidel castro nor maduro so it's still a good face for BTC. still, this is seen like it's not just El Salvador's fight

I just started to follow him on twitter, he seems to be in El Salvador promoting Bitcoin. I have thought of the chances of Bukele being ousted, im sure there is resentment brewing from the people he replaced and the coruption he is trying to change
I cant find any info on this online but somebody over the weekend told me that under International law whatever currency one particular country uses all other countries have to recognise it also, but obviously dont necessarily have to use. ?

There's a topic about that here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5342104.0It does seem to have some interesting ramifications on tax if other nations begin to recognise Bitcoin as a currency rather than an asset. I'm sure many places will quickly change their rules around that, though.

I'm sure many places will quickly change their rules around that, though. Of course, countries have choices. They could have had a 100 year long rule about recognizing the currencies of other countries, but then they see this new situation that there previous rule would compel them to recognize bitcoin as a currency, but instead of just going with the existing rule, they can do whatever they want to make exceptions and try to describe the situation as "different" or "contrary to the public interest" or assert that El Salvador is part of the criminal cabash or whatever. At the same time, countries also have limitations in what they can do in terms of the amount of public attention on the matter, so surely they would be taking chances if they create a bitcoin exception and they get a lot of backlash, and I am not even saying that government policies necessarily reflect the will of the people but there could be a bit of a tension , especially the more and more that bitcoin becomes embeded with more financial institutions and even governments, besides El Salvador. Governments all over the world have already transitioned into various kinds of acceptance and recognition of bitcoin, even if they have not gone so far as either recognizing bitcoin as legal tender or as a currency.. but these recognitions and acceptances seem to be changing little by little, too. Remember the BIG ass US Fed (US Marshalls) auction of the silk road coins (around 30k coins) in mid 2014... and then there was a follow-up auction of some more coins (maybe 10k or more coins) in late 2014. Choices about conducting those two auctions had given the US Government some options about whether they would go down the path of auctioning off the coins, holding them or destroying them, and we know what they did. Even if their choice to auction the coins did not constrain or require them to continue to recognize and accept bitcoin legitimacy, it still could have been recognized (for those willing to see it) that governments were increasingly going down the path of recognizing and accepting and allowing the embedding of bitcoin into various parts of normality.. that has increased and increased and increased through the years (for those willing and able to see it).

They are powerless and are only manipulated to help certain agencies to topple regimes. The CIA does this. They have been toppling regimes that are not in line with America’s self interests and agenda

This is actually very serious. The Americans have implemented regime change in Latin America for matters that are far less in significance. And here we have a president from an impoverished Latin American nation openly challenging the USD and indirectly proclaiming that cryptocurrency is better than inflation-prone US Dollar. I am really worried about the safety of president Bukele. And this is no laughing matter. The CIA has assassinated dozens of world leaders for standing up to the American hegemony. Patrice Lumumba is a prime example.

Patrice Lumumba is a prime example. So far, I have not seen Bukele make direct and open challenges like the ones that you are proclaiming, so it seems to me that when there are multiple purposes for any kinds of political decisions, there can be ambiguity regarding whether some course of action is actually a direct challenge to the USD or to America... blah blah blah. Bukele surely is a leader in this regard, and he has gotten his congress to go along with him, and they have asserted that they perceive problems with the high level of unbanked in the country and they also perceive problems with the high costs of remittances, and of course, it seems that the mining from Volcanos is coming as a kind of natural and soon thereafter after thought but seems like it would fit into various ways to build and expand a kind of bitcoin infrastructure. Of course, there already are quite a few negative reactions, and Bukele cannot necessarily play dumb in regards to other utility functions of BTC, and surely there are likely to be messages being said in private, too... but we don't know what those messages are. Do you believe that if the USA (or CIA like you asserted) "took out" Bukele, the direction of the bitcoin initiative would "go away?" Surely, Bukele does seem to learning about aspects of bitcoin fairly quickly and he seems to be getting the ear and the attention of a quite a few influential people and projects in the bitcoin space, so these matters are not really black and white concerning whether it would be within the interest of the US Government to "take him out."

@JayJuanGee. However, it does not need to be an open proclamation. Do you remember when Saddam Hussein announced that his Iraq will begin to deal in euros instead of the dollar for trading crude oil? United States Army tanks rushed in months after.
It would not be shocking if Bukele was exposed for something very serious found from his past or if he had a relative assassinated or if Bukele himself was accused of rape. We would certainly know it is the work of some agency.

Fair enough, but you still seem to be extrapolating a lot with that theory. You seem to be suggesting that Bukele needs to be nipped in the bud because it is going to cause a kind of contagion in the region or even a "run on the dollar" and therefore, the USA is going to consider this to be an urgent matter... and they are going to have some way of acting that is going to get them desired results. It would not be shocking if Bukele was exposed for something very serious found from his past or if he had a relative assassinated or if Bukele himself was accused of rape. We would certainly know it is the work of some agency.
I still doubt that the matter is as confrontational as you are making it out to be, but sure, let's see how some of this plays out. Even though I consider your various theories to be quite outlandish, I am not ruling them out as completely impossible, but they seem to be real BIG ASS stretches that focus on pie in the sky unlikely scenarios rather than more likely scenarios and happenings that I had already described. Probably you are mentioning them because you truly believe them to be likely scenarios, and in that regard, I suppose that it is good that you have them written down, so that if they happen, then you can proclaim that "I told you so.", but at the same time, from my point of view you seem to be failing/refusing to focus on more likely scenarios and directions that a lot of this declaration of legal tender takes us and then the subsequent preparations that are involved for when the law goes active in September and further developments that go from there.. and likely including that a lot of people are beginning to consider El Salvador as a development location and previously they had not even known that such a place existed.

I did not say that El Salvador was being confrontational, however, it will be considered a threat by the American government. I have read articles that other members of government from Ecuador and Argentina begun to put laser eyes in their profiles hehehe. Bitcoin acceptance like El Salvador is a political movement whether they intended this or not and bitcoin as a political tool would be something oppressive governments would never want everyone to realize possible. They would try to kill this new type of political movement before it becomes irreversible.

Bitcoin is already pretty damned close to irreversible, and you seem to be suggesting that a course of action is really clear in regards to how the US Govt can handle this particular situation in order to get results that they would want. Accordingly, you still are hanging on the idea that taking out the President is amongst the best of actions that the USGovt would consider to be helpful in sending a message to the many wannabe or copy cat govts ... but I suppose another less severe way could be that if Bukele just reverses or repeals the law and makes some kind of clear statement denigrating bitcoin. I really doubt that your premises are solid here, and sure believe what you like in terms of making your predictions regarding which way this matter is likely to go.

@JayJuanGee. Cryptocoins and blockchains as a technology have certainly become irreversible. I was only talking about the political movement that appears to be beginning in South America and how the Empire under Biden and its allies would find this unacceptable. However, yes, I agree that I may have watched too much movies hehehe. In any case, it appears Panama wants to join the movement. It is arguable if they know or consider it to be a political movement, however. Next month, Panamanian congressman Gabriel Silva plans to present a bill that could potentially spearhead the adoption of cryptocurrencies as legal tender and create tax incentives for crypto-related businesses.
After El Salvador’s president, Nayib Bukele, announced he was proposing a law to make bitcoin (BTC, -3.39%) legal tender, Silva tweeted on June 7 that if Panama wanted to become a true hub of technology and entrepreneurship, it should also support cryptocurrencies.

@JayJuanGee. Cryptocoins and blockchains as a technology have certainly become irreversible.
We are not talking about cryptocoins or blockchains here. This is about bitcoin, and surely you realize that the bill that was passed in El Salvador is ONLY about bitcoin. I am not saying that various scam shitcoins won't be piling on, but the focus of what is going on seems to be about bitcoin and NOT some amorphously broad concept that you are reframing.. which I am not sure if you did that intentionally or maybe you mix the ideas in your head? perhaps? I was only talking about the political movement that appears to be beginning in South America and how the Empire under Biden and its allies would find this unacceptable.
You do seem to be going quite broad, so if you are saying that there are going to be copycats, then sure. Some of the copy cats might stay focused on bitcoin, and some of the copy cats might be more broadly focused. If you are not really specifying, then it is really kind of difficult to know what you are talking about. First thing if the administration whether Biden or otherwise is concerned or find certain behaviors "unacceptable" , then what are they going to do? And do they find the behaviors unacceptable within a means that they are ready, willing and able to actually do something in order to attempt to address the parts that that they find unacceptable. You still have not gotten off of your amorphous non-specificities and your all-over-the-place and ultimately vague conjectures concerning both what it is supposedly unacceptable that is being done and what the supposed corrective behavior is going to be from the USA... .. Sure, the more vague you are, then the more able you are to say "I told you so," but so far you are all over the place in your conjectures and predictions, so almost anything that happens you are going to be able to so say "I told you so." I am not sure what good that does. However, yes, I agree that I may have watched too much movies hehehe.
Finally, an admission that you are getting your ideas from fantasy-landia... Great.. at least we finally have received somewhat of a concession.. but not sure, also, how that helps us... to make progress when you admit that you have one foot in fiction and another foot in real world conjecture attempts. You might not even understand what is bitcoin. Do you know what bitcoin is, exactly? #justasking. In any case, it appears Panama wants to join the movement. It is arguable if they know or consider it to be a political movement, however. Next month, Panamanian congressman Gabriel Silva plans to present a bill that could potentially spearhead the adoption of cryptocurrencies as legal tender and create tax incentives for crypto-related businesses.
After El Salvador’s president, Nayib Bukele, announced he was proposing a law to make bitcoin (BTC, -3.39%) legal tender, Silva tweeted on June 7 that if Panama wanted to become a true hub of technology and entrepreneurship, it should also support cryptocurrencies. Source https://www.coindesk.com/panama-to-present-crypto-related-bill-in-julyNo problem... there will likely be a lot of countries moving somewhat in this direction. Sounds good to me. Probably sounds good to any person who has been involved in bitcoin and preaching bullish cases for bitcoin.. kind of like a wet dream come true.. so sure, some people want to poo-poo what seems to be great movements for bitcoin currently and into the future... and so it is your choice if you cannot recognize and appreciate the positive angle from what is currently happening and the contagion that is likely to follow (not guaranteed of course) but seems quite likely to have many more adopters (countries and otherwise) and likely the BIG bully countries are not going to be able to do a-whole-hell-of-a-lot to stifle the bitcoin adoption momentum.. at least not in the short-to-medium term... so better to be going with the flow (momentum) rather than fighting it with fantasy theories that are not very well grounded in reality.

I was only talking about the whole cryptospace as a technology, where bitcoin is included as irreversible. I do not know why that triggers you.
Are you quite certain that the United States empire, its allies, the IMF and the BIS will take the new threat lightly?
Are you also quite certain that your religious fanaticism for bitcoin does not muddle your view of bitcoin? #justasking
It sounds good to me also. I have always said that bitcoin has lost its idealism, meaning and its status as a political tool. It has become more of a tool to pump, dump and make cash dollars. This new movement in South America might bring it back again.

Seems that I already explained my response. El Salvador has passed a law making bitcoin legal tender, so if you are referring to more amorphous concepts you are not speaking clearly regarding what you are saying. Are you quite certain that the United States empire, its allies, the IMF and the BIS will take the new threat lightly?
Don't put words in my mouth. I was criticizing your assertion about the supposed crack down, and I suggested that your assertion seems like pie in the sky nonsense and not very likely. Maybe you will be correct, but I doubt that you are describing the situation very accurately and also you are being so damned vague that it remains difficult to determine exactly what you are asserting either to be the purported problem or what you believe to be a likely response. Are you also quite certain that your religious fanaticism for bitcoin does not muddle your view of bitcoin? #justasking
I am not religious. I try to consider facts for what they are and attempt to come to reasonable conclusions or to make reasonable speculations based on facts. Surely somethings are not known so assumptions might be needed in those circumstances. I doubt that I am biased in any kind of meaningful or substantial way when I attempt to make assessments. It sounds good to me also. I have always said that bitcoin has lost its idealism, meaning and its status as a political tool. It has become more of a tool to pump, dump and make cash dollars. This new movement in South America might bring it back again.
Bitcoin seems to be expanding, so I am not sure about what it is supposedly losing and getting back. Of course with anything that gets bigger, it may well have a community of people who are more diverse than previously. I doubt that bitcoin is getting back to anything, because the circumstances that are faced at this time are somewhat new circumstances, and we will see how it plays out.... Seems quite bullish so far in terms of continuing to expand adoption, use cases, and various network effects. It seems that with our various back and forths, I had already conceded that there could be paths forward in which El Salvador could either repeal the law or somehow reverse itself, but that seems like such nonsense that it is hardly even likely, and even if they were to repeal the law, it is difficult to say if they might not still keep going forward with other bitcoin-friendly posturing... In other words, it seems way more realistic to be attempting to deal with facts that we know and to speculate about ramifications of facts that we know than to make up shit about what might happen and then speculate about that made up shit rather than dealing with what we already know, first.
