#12Lol after a country adopts it as legal tender, they say it’s not money
Can’t make this up

#13“ Cryptocurrencies are not used in regular payment transactions”
How can they say that with a straight face knowing what’s going on in El Salvador

#14Of course he does. He won't be the last.
That bit at the end about Gresham's law made me cringe. This guy doesn't have any business talking about money publicly unless it's asking questions and taking notes.

#15> has no intrinsic value and is only valuable because others may accept it. So does USD
Technically true! But it is backed by a very powerful commercial empire who also happens to have the worlds largest military.
Does that military count towards the US dollar's impact on the climate?

Who bribed or put the pressure on El Salvador? Outwardly, it doesn’t make any sense except as a publicity stunt.

Not so. The US government can require you to pay them it, under certain (very common) circumstances.

The only thing that happened in El Salvador was a public politician making a populist statement.
It would make sense to point to Venezuela or Iran, but those examples don't get much attention for some reason.

22% of their GDP is remittance based.
The US treats them like shit since they have the USD as currency. God forbid a country wants more independence
70% of the country has no bank, for Bitcoin all you need is the internet and a simple wallet app.

So does the Euro, which is used in his country, and so was the Dutch Guild, the one that came before. So does any other currency in use in the world.
> Fiat money does not have intrinsic value and does not have use value. It has value only because a government maintains its value, or because parties engaging in exchange agree on its value.
