I doubt Bitcoin adaption alone give 30% increase to tourism number. It's likely there are other factor such as more people got vaccinated.
Of course, travel bans were lifted, that's why.
Look at the stats:

A growth of 30% from down 75%.
Are we also now going to blame Bitcoin if energy use there increases? Next we'll be crediting "Bitcoin adoption" for lower infant mortality and other HDIs, once we run out of economic indicators.
There won't be any energy consumption increase.
Just like these numbers that magic well of 200MW he dug overnight was just fiction, have you heard anything about it lately? Any mining statistics, any income, a pool based in Salvador for the miners there, or at least something, anything?
This guy is nuts, he did bitcoin one huge favor by making it legal tender and speeding adoption but now he's just using its userbase for his propaganda, he built a pet hospital with the profits from Bitcoin. What profits you f liar when you actually lost money based on the average price you've purchased coins for while screaming about buying the dip. Funny thing, this is the first time he didn't claim to buy the dip, probably that's why we recovered so fast, every time he went to Twitter to claim that we went further down.
