Running bitcoinhackers...again was here in Aug 2018 already. Let's see if it gains traction in 2021.

27/ I can imagine economical sanctions, political pressure, and a lot of FUD stories. Be prepared.

25/ Aaaaand then we heard US Senator Warren saying, what’s happening in cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin AND #Dogecoin is reminiscent of the Wild West, an environmental disaster, not a good investment and there will be more regulation around it.

24/ A scam or a currency? I mean, who is interested in what he is saying anyway.

Former Pres. Trump: “Bitcoin, it just seems like a scam. I don't like it. I want the dollar to be the currency of the world.”

23/ After the announcement of El Salvador’s plans to make bitcoin legal tender at Bitcoin2021 conference in Miami, Donald Trump said in an interview that “Bitcoin seems like a scam” and that “Bitcoin is a currency competing against the Dollar” - so what now?

22/ First International Reactions

21/ While I don’t like that, in case of #Bitcoin I applaud the country. I’m convinced that Bitcoin will empower the people economically and hope that the fresh ideas the President wants to get into the country will also bring a more open society and #humanrights.

ICYMI: El Salvadorian woman freed after being sentenced to 30 years in prison for the SUSPICION of having an abortion. Just one of the things that “fetal personhood” gets you. Politicians don’t give a f*ck about the health of pregnant people! #AbortionAF

19/ While this Civil War was going on large numbers of Salvadorans emigrated to the United States, and by 2008 they were one of the largest immigrant groups in the US. That’s why #remittances are so important for the country.

18/ …between the military-led government backed by the United States, and a coalition of left-wing guerrilla groups.

17/ After a long period of chronic political and economic instability characterized by coups, revolts, and a succession of authoritarian rulers, persistent socioeconomic inequality and civil unrest culminated in the devastating Salvadoran Civil War from 1979 to 1992 fought…

16/ El Salvador Human Rights
Which brings me to the last point I want to make around this topic. El Salvador is a very poor country with 6.4 million inhabitants.

15/ Since President Bukele has laser eyes on his Twitter profile - a sign for being pro-Bitcoin - a lot of politicians of Central and South American nations followed. All of them are young males except @IndiraKempis a Mexican senator.

14/ Domino Effect
Rumor has it that Paraguay will be the next country to follow El Salvador’s example. We will see.

13/ Only a few hours later he tweeted, that the state owned geothermal electric company will put up a plan to mine with very cheap, 100% clean, 100% renewable, 0 emissions energy from their volcanos.

I’ve just instructed the president of @LaGeoSV (our state-owned geothermal electric company), to put up a plan to offer facilities for #Bitcoin mining with very cheap, 100% clean, 100% renewable, 0 emissions energy from…

When asked, if El Salvador started mining the President explained that they have geothermal energy plants and this might be possible.

11/ I talked with Michael a few days before and asked him about the use cases for Bitcoin in El Salvador. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWqzuW7RJMY

10/ President @nayibbukele expressed his gratitude towards Michael Peterson, the initiator of @Bitcoinbeach, a project that brought education and the first Bitcoin companies like Jack Maller’s Strike to El Salvador.

9/ The President said live on @nic__carter's Twitter Space, that their goal is not to de-dollarize El Salvador. It’s a way of attracting businesses and technology to the country.

8/ As long as one can choose his or her own wallet freely, the exchange rate is fair, the government can’t interfere or censor transactions and as long as there are no additional fees or taxes deducted - I find this a good solution. USD will stay the accounting currency.
