El Salvador President Nayib Bukele announced that the country now owns 700 Bitcoin, after purchasing another 150.
The President announced the purchase via Twitter, stating “We just bought the dip.”. In a reply post, Bukele said “They can never beat you if you buy the dips,” adding that this was now “Presidential advice”. Although Bukele’s passion project of introducing Bitcoin as legal tender in the country is still underway, it is not without its hurdles.
Development
To facilitate the introduction of Bitcoin as legal tender, the government established a $150 million fund to finance the necessary infrastructure. Since then, the government has been in a flurry to introduce the ‘Chivo’ wallet and associated cryptocurrency ATMs. As of this week, there are currently over 200 Bitcoin ATMs across the country.
