In a recent interview with Fox’s Tucker Carlson, El Salvador President Nayib Bukele praised for rebranding the country’s legacy.
Let’s look at the facts:-
- #bitcoin usage is down -98.2%
- 0% of “Bitcoin” Projects Started
- Over $60M of taxpayer dollars lost
Bukele’s only “pro” he mentioned, was that Bitcoin has caused tourism to soar. Yet, this is simply a lie.
Tourism is nowhere near all-time highs, in fact, it’s at the second worst year in the last 5 decades.
The year-over-year increase is also due to the COVID-19 fears subsiding, and travel opening up, not Bitcoin.
