CID Gallup reported the end of September corruption of EL Salvador. El Salvador dropped 3%, according to CID Gallup's crime report. During Nayib Bukele rule, corruption in EL Salvador has decreased the most. In earlier reports also EL Salvador crime rate was 6%. But crime is now reported to have dropped by 3%. Peru has the highest level of corruption.According to CID Gallup's crime report, Peru ranks at 87%, making it the most corrupt and crime-ridden country in the world today. I respect Nayib Bukele rule the most because El Salvador was once a hotbed of gangs but under Nayib Bukele rule El Salvador has become completely crime free. I hope the government of EL Salvador Nayib Bukele will bring his country's crime down to zero.

It's been another two months and now there are fewer than two months to go.

So, how's @nayibbukele holding up?

El Salvador is still on track for its safest year ever.

Apparently putting criminals in jail works.

Has El Salvador’s bitcoin gamble paid off?
Coffee shop owner Gabe Gutierrez said bitcoin accounts for 5% to 10% of his sales.
 
coffee shop in San Salvador, the capital of El Salvador, customers come for freshly made coffee and packets of high-quality beans. And some pay in bitcoin.

The cryptocurrency has been legal tender in the Central American country for more than two years. Businesses are officially required to accept bitcoin, but patchy technology, limited internet access and a lack of enforcement means that only some do.

Coffee shop owner Gabe Gutierrez believes taking bitcoin payments has helped him attract customers.
“In a normal month, 5% to 10% of our sales are in bitcoin. The business impact has been very positive in that sense,” he said. “Obviously it’s bringing in revenue, but it’s not only that. It’s more convenient.“

President Nayib Bukele argued that adopting bitcoin would reduce dependence on the country’s other currency, the U.S. dollar, and make it cheaper to send and receive remittances — when migrants send home money to their family. source

Even though it can be interesting to see what is being said about bitcoin and El Salvador from various sources (including but not limited to MarketPlace.org), yet I doubt that it is as helpful to merely cite some pieces that have ambiguous descriptions without making some of your own commentaries.  

Sure, I might not even like the tone of the article, but I really don't like the title of the article ...

Sure, it may well seem like gambling when a country goes against the grain of other countries and the powers that be, but the way that El Salvador got into bitcoin seems to be way more like an investment kind of approach rather than a gamble.. even though Bukele did have a tendency to act flamboyant about his decision to push El Salvador into bitcoin in a variety of ways....

1) Self-Custody is a right.  There is no such thing as "non-custodial" or "un-hosted."  2) ESG, KYC & AML are attack-vectors on Bitcoin to be avoided or minimized.  3) How much alt (shit)coin diversification is necessary? if you are into Bitcoin, then 0%......if you cannot control your gambling, then perhaps limit your alt(shit)coin exposure to less than 10% of your bitcoin size...Put BTC here: bc1q49wt0ddnj07wzzp6z7affw9ven7fztyhevqu9k

As El Salvador’s Bukele Approaches Re-Election, Bitcoin Entrenchment Deepens

A very popular man from El Salvador is Nayib Bukele. With less than three months to go until El Salvador's President Nayib Buquel's re-election date, Bitcoin is seeing a steady increase in institutional support within El Salvador, suggesting a strong foundation for the country's experimentation with Bitcoin.
snip
El Salvador's election season is in full swing in the Republic of El Salvador, with the actual vote for President Naib Buquel taking place on February 4, 2024. El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele is famous for a few different policy decisions; While a large degree of his domestic popularity is due to his anti-gang crackdown, his presidency has been particularly noted internationally for his campaign to make bitcoin legal tender.

El Salvador officially adopted Bitcoin as a valid currency in September 2021 after several months of effort, and since then the country has been home to an experiment of historic proportions.Many of the world’s financial institutions have shown considerable and persistent opposition to this experiment from the very beginning, and for fairly straightforward reasons: Before Bukele added bitcoin, the only legal currency in El Salvador was the US dollar. source
Nayib Bukele is a president who thinks out of the box, he is a very extraordinary man because he believed in Bitcoin at the beginning and was able to convince the majority of El Salvador's parliament, the eyes of the world are constantly focusing on El Salvador and the news about their adoption of Bitcoin even now. , El Salvador's economy has also increased drastically because the world's spotlight is so big on El Salvador.  Nayib Bukele's big projects will definitely get great support from the citizens of El Salvador if the price of Bitcoin continues to increase, El Salvador has become proof that making Bitcoin legal tender is not the wrong decision.

El Salvador to buy one Bitcoin every day: Said El Salvador President Nayib Bukele

Nayib Bukele, President of El Salvador, announced late last night that the country would be purchasing one bitcoin every day starting today.

Currently, the country holds a bitcoin treasury of 2,381 BTC, valued at over $39 million. Bukele has made a habit in the past of making large BTC purchases during times of market volatility and buying the dip.
Outside of just purchasing BTC and holding it on balance for El Salvador, the Bukele administration has fostered the birth of events gathering world leaders from countries all over the world the learn about the financial freedom bitcoin adoption offers.

Bitcoin is steadily becoming popular in different countries of the world day by day and Bitcoin has already been declared legal in different countries.Similarly, Bitcoin was legalized in El Salvador long before Bitcoin was legalized in that country, and the use of Bitcoin is increasing day by day in all fields and in everything.
source

Do you even know how to clarify information?

That is an article from about 1 year ago.. so by today, if they had followed the plan, then they should have had bought around 365 bitcoin... but do we know if they followed that plan to buy 1 bitcoin per day for everyday for the last year?

Well Sources from the X app claims that El Salvador has so far kept to their claims of DCAing 1BTC everyday for the past one year now https://twitter.com/BTC_Archive/status/1725152451139915821?t=MT89ZnAMZXt5mlOzNtMFCA&s=19. As at 2022, when President Bukele publicly made the Statement, Coindesk reportedly said that El Salvador had claimed to already owned a total of 2,381 bitcoins purchased at an average price of roughly $44,300 and as at today, they've actually estimated the country to be holding a total of 2,744 BTC.

Exactly one year today Nov. 17th 2023.

Asides the year, for a country that also saddled with numerous other responsibilities (sectors) to key into with money critically thinking it's possible they might not had completely followed the plan except op want to tell me that El Salvador economy is totally dependent on bitcoin for survival.

 if that's the case then the president and his cabinet members have to be reminded that there's a quintessential economic word called diversification,   of which I refuse to believe that they are not a diversifying already.

Buy Bitcoin daily today will help weather the economic storm in El Salvador in the future. Bitcoin is a valuable resource that will help El Salvador economically in the future.
The bitcoin portfolio held by El Salvador remains in the red. Losses are now narrowing somewhat as holdings of Bitcoin still remain in the red. Nayib Bukele announced plans for a country-level dollar consumption (DCA) in November 2022, pledging to buy one bitcoin per day. At the time, based on Nayib Bukele statement, the country owned 2,381 bitcoins, which were purchased at an average price of $44,300. When Nayib Bukele, the government of El Salvador, bought Bitcoin, the price was $19,000, leaving the country with a loss of about $60 million on its holdings. With the current Bitcoin price at $36,000, El Salvador is now at a loss of $16 million on its Bitcoin holdings. But it is assumed that this loss will not be for a very long time and soon this loss will be compensated.

Note: Post is somewhat collected and written in own language.

Buy Bitcoin daily today will help weather the economic storm in El Salvador in the future. Bitcoin is a valuable resource that will help El Salvador economically in the future.

This is because Nayib Bukele's own knowledge of Bitcoin has been very mature since the past or since Nayib Bukele made the decision to adopt Bitcoin in the long term in order to make the country of El Salvador more advanced in every sector, including the economic sector. So if the President of El Salvador often buys Bitcoin every day until this year, I think this is a very normal thing because the President of El Salvador himself has long established Bitcoin as an important asset for the country of El Salvador.

So that the younger generation in El Salvador has also discovered more about Bitcoin through all media and also through their free education about Bitcoin. So it is not surprising that the president of El Salvador continues to purchase Bitcoin with the long-term aim of a brighter future, especially for his own people. Because it will also create a kind of encouragement that is quite good among the people when a president has done this openly every year.

There are many factors that made or allowed Bukele to bet on Bitcoin. Not every country could easily do that, or let's say not as easily as El Salvador, but I think every politician who does that also takes a gamble. I am not sure how safe Bukele was that he would get elected again or would be safe in his position even if Bitcoin goes wrong for him temporarily, but I can imagine that he was not considering the temporary downtrend of Bitcoin. He might have thought that this will take him straight into the winning zone and he could please the population with Bitcoin presents or something.

El Salvador also had a miserable credit rating and I think Bukele may have seen this investment as a chance to solve problems quickly, which he couldn't have done the standard economic way.

El Salvador In The Red On Its Bitcoin Holdings

source

El Salvador made history in September 2021 by becoming the first country in the world to accept Bitcoin as legal tender.

El Salvador bought a total of 2381 bitcoins in the month of September 2021, worth over $105 million at the time. El Salvador also received a 1 Bitcoin donation from an anonymous benefactor. However, as of November 17, 2023, the value of El Salvador's Bitcoin stash has fallen by more than 20%. This means that the country has about $21 million of its bitcoin investment.


El Salvador's president, Naib Buquel, remains both pessimistic and optimistic about his Bitcoin gamble. Naib Buckel claims that El Salvador is saving millions of dollars in remittance fees by using Bitcoin, and that adopting the digital currency will boost tourism, innovation and foreign investment. Naib Buckel also announced plans to build a "Bitcoin city" near a volcano, where residents and businesses would pay no taxes other than a 10% contribution to fund infrastructure and security.

I found out the news that they bought too when BTC cost $19,000. The average purchase is currently at $44,300. But if calculated every day they buy then 2,744 in November the 14th of this year. When factored in at $36,000, the average purchase decreases to around $41,800. They suffered a loss of $16 million. But indeed Bukele did not provide ontentic evidence related to this matter. So it seems that this is just a mathematical calculation. It's possible that it could go wrong. But I'm glad they still support Bitcoin as a legitimate payment.

El Salvador started the #Bitcoin    BTC party! 🥳


El Salvador became the first country in the world to use Bitcoin as legal tender.
A survey published in September 2021 found that 9 out of 10 people in El Salvador did not have a clear idea of what Bitcoin is, and 68% disagreed with the decision to accept Bitcoin as legal tender. But in El Salvador, Bitcoin is now so popular that people are using it for everything. People may continue to use Bitcoin like this in the future.
In order for the people of El Salvador to learn and understand Bitcoin in depth, they have introduced educational programs to learn Bitcoin in their schools. This is a very good initiative for them as their school kids will know about Bitcoin from a very young age. Moreover, we all have seen people paying in Bitcoins after eating ice cream in shops and even a few days ago people were seen paying in Bitcoins while eating in hotels.
Today I saw on my social media Facebook and Twitter that people in El Salvador are having a bitcoin party.
They are all cheering and dancing around this bitcoin party. Grin

There are many factors that made or allowed Bukele to bet on Bitcoin. Not every country could easily do that, or let's say not as easily as El Salvador, but I think every politician who does that also takes a gamble. I am not sure how safe Bukele was that he would get elected again or would be safe in his position even if Bitcoin goes wrong for him temporarily, but I can imagine that he was not considering the temporary downtrend of Bitcoin. He might have thought that this will take him straight into the winning zone and he could please the population with Bitcoin presents or something.

El Salvador also had a miserable credit rating and I think Bukele may have seen this investment as a chance to solve problems quickly, which he couldn't have done the standard economic way.  

Nayib Bukele took the bet of making BTC legal tender to help save its country from ever-increasing debt. He hasn't sold a single BTC since he started investing in it. Once BTC goes to "Mars", it's likely El Salvador's economy will recover. Many in the mainstream media are spreading lies that El Salvador is at a loss with BTC, but you can't lose if you don't sell. This experiment will spread to other Latin-American countries as they struggle to keep their economies afloat.

Recently, a pro-Bitcoin politician was elected as President of Argentina (Javier Milei). We're slowly shifting towards "hyperbitcoinization". Who knows if BTC finally replaces Fiat currencies in the future? Just my opinion Smiley

Has El Salvador’s bitcoin gamble paid off?
Coffee shop owner Gabe Gutierrez said bitcoin accounts for 5% to 10% of his sales.
 
coffee shop in San Salvador, the capital of El Salvador, customers come for freshly made coffee and packets of high-quality beans. And some pay in bitcoin.

The cryptocurrency has been legal tender in the Central American country for more than two years. Businesses are officially required to accept bitcoin, but patchy technology, limited internet access and a lack of enforcement means that only some do.

Coffee shop owner Gabe Gutierrez believes taking bitcoin payments has helped him attract customers.
“In a normal month, 5% to 10% of our sales are in bitcoin. The business impact has been very positive in that sense,” he said. “Obviously it’s bringing in revenue, but it’s not only that. It’s more convenient.“

President Nayib Bukele argued that adopting bitcoin would reduce dependence on the country’s other currency, the U.S. dollar, and make it cheaper to send and receive remittances — when migrants send home money to their family. source

Even though it can be interesting to see what is being said about bitcoin and El Salvador from various sources (including but not limited to MarketPlace.org), yet I doubt that it is as helpful to merely cite some pieces that have ambiguous descriptions without making some of your own commentaries.  

Sure, I might not even like the tone of the article, but I really don't like the title of the article ...

Sure, it may well seem like gambling when a country goes against the grain of other countries and the powers that be, but the way that El Salvador got into bitcoin seems to be way more like an investment kind of approach rather than a gamble.. even though Bukele did have a tendency to act flamboyant about his decision to push El Salvador into bitcoin in a variety of ways....

You're right JayJuanGee, it's not about bringing an article here that matters in the name of having the latest development on what's going on, the reason for discussion is to have our own various opinions regarding anything we are seing trending on the internet or about El-Savador's bitcoin adoption, this is not a story that sounds that catchy to me as well because in El-Savador, there are many business enterprises that make use of bitcoin in their payment of service or goods and bitcoin has gone far beyond just seing a coffee shop accepting bitcoin, or maybe it's also sounds to his hearing as that of the bitcoin pizza or coffee  when things weren't as this in the past that led to a massive story we all love to read about with bitcoin.

We should learn to do things in the appropriate manners and also try to read to understand and present our own point of view towards the discussion.

Don't get me wrong, I don't necessarily believe that super high analytical skills are required when posting a link, but the posting of links without any kind of commentary at all seems to be just failing/refusing to engage in any kind of thinking..  

The assumption would be that the poster agrees with the article, otherwise why post the article, or alternatively if the poster did not agree with the article, there could be some commentary that is even short.. such as, I disagree with the article because of x, y and z reason, but I agree with the article for a, b and c reasons.. including that the article has some pretty cool pictures contained therein or whatever... . .that would at least attempt to show why the poster believes that the link/article might be relevant to the thread beyond our having to read the article and/or the linked materials and attempt to figure it out, even if it is obvious, it does not really say anything about why the poster chose to post it.

In the actual cryptoWODL post that I cited, it is quite unclear if any of the words in the post are his words, and every word seems to be from the article/link which is another problem that many posters have in terms of citing various substantive content and it sometimes is unclear if any of the words are the words of the poster... Why should any of the readers have to click on the link to figure it out?  It should already be clear from the post if the words are being quoted or if they are words of the poster.

1) Self-Custody is a right.  There is no such thing as "non-custodial" or "un-hosted."  2) ESG, KYC & AML are attack-vectors on Bitcoin to be avoided or minimized.  3) How much alt (shit)coin diversification is necessary? if you are into Bitcoin, then 0%......if you cannot control your gambling, then perhaps limit your alt(shit)coin exposure to less than 10% of your bitcoin size...Put BTC here: bc1q49wt0ddnj07wzzp6z7affw9ven7fztyhevqu9k

El Salvador bought a total of 2381 bitcoins in the month of September 2021, worth over $105 million at the time. El Salvador also received a 1 Bitcoin donation from an anonymous benefactor. However, as of November 17, 2023, the value of El Salvador's Bitcoin stash has fallen by more than 20%. This means that the country has about $21 million of its bitcoin investment.

I found out the news that they bought too when BTC cost $19,000. The average purchase is currently at $44,300. But if calculated every day they buy then 2,744 in November the 14th of this year. When factored in at $36,000, the average purchase decreases to around $41,800. They suffered a loss of $16 million. But indeed Bukele did not provide ontentic evidence related to this matter. So it seems that this is just a mathematical calculation. It's possible that it could go wrong. But I'm glad they still support Bitcoin as a legitimate payment.
We don't know whether he is regularly buying bitcoins through DCA or not, but since he accepts bitcoin as legal tender, he must have far-reaching plans for bitcoin. I learned a lot about Bitcoin but never invested in Bitcoin, it can't be. Since he has legally allowed the use of Bitcoin in his country, he must be holding Bitcoin. He may have been busy with politics lately but his bitcoin holdings will not stop. Bitcoin may rise to new ath price in the upcoming halving, perhaps he is waiting for that day of success. If he comes back to power next year, we expect him to implement most of his desire with bitcoin.

El Salvador has transformed into what it is today as the most self-sufficient country in the world. El Salvador has the most volcanoes, with 170 plus volcanoes currently generating energy. Of course, they are slowly moving towards success at full speed, with El Salvador's president, Nayeb Bukele, playing a major role.
The miners of El Salvador are very hardworking which makes them the fastest to achieve success. The most diligent workers in this volcano are driving the volcano to success with their labor and they will build more volcanoes. In the far future, El Salvador will have the greatest advantage of volcanoes and the country of El Salvador is advancing step by step due to the presence of energy sources including volcanic tech.

Actually El Salvador's main goal in legalizing bitcoin as payment digital currency transaction is not for mining but to make transactions easier and make bitcoin a long-term investment asset. El Savador president Nayeb Bukele have been active investor accumulate Bitcoin every day regarding his last announcement will invest 1 bitcoin in daily day. Mining bitcoin is another important part exactly for El Savador citizen with good supported from their government.
El Savador main goals how to make their country easier when have tourism come there and accept bitcoin as payment transaction will make it easy without have to convert with local currency early and the tourism must not bring cash money when going to El Savador.

103 pages and still counting. It's become a big thread and impossible to read all of them. It's kind of Mega Big thread where spammers post anything about El Salvador. This thread is like merit faucet. Post more news about El Salvador and get merit.
