I am not quite sure if this hiring of Ammous would be the best for El Salvador's Bitcoin roadmap. The comments that I have read on Ammous from social media are not very good and have also been skeptical in his qualifications as an economist.
The prominent people in bitcointalk appear to like him and find him a highly intelligent lecturer, however. It might be a good hiring.
El Salvador President Nayib Bukele has onboarded Saiffedean Ammous – author of The Bitcoin Standard – as an Economic Advisor to the National Bitcoin Office of El Salvador.
In his role, the author will “advise on matters related to various economic policies,” while supporting Bukele’s policy of “economic liberty and bitcoin,” according to a Bitcoin office statement.
I support the Ammous because when it comes to Bitcoin and its importance as a currency than there isn't anyone comparable to that guy. He is a true lover of Bitcoin and he will add educational programs to promote it further in that community. I know that the guy isn't an economist but where it is said that an economist can only be economic advisor for National Bitcoin Office of El Salvador? I don't think that way because if someone doesn't have a degree in a particular field that doesn't mean that the guy isn't competent as an economic advisor.
His role is very suitable for him because he can suggest very good policies in the case of economic liberty and Bitcoin, the guy knows everything about it and can perform in the best way for such things. I believe that the Ammous would create some education programs to further enhance the knowledge of Bitcoin and its use for the betterment of a country like El Salvador.
