Stop Drinking The Elites Kool-Aid
By Nayib Bukele A little over a year ago El Salvador became the first country to make Bitcoin legal tender. Naturally, this decision rubbed the elite class the wrong way.
The elites have been controlling the "truth" and the narrative, in an attempt to make the country reverse its decision. By controlling the media, they've made it seem as if El Salvador was on the brink of an economic collapse, having "lost" $50 million worth of bitcoin due to its depreciation — but none of the bitcoin has been sold.
Reported numbers are the only facts we can rely on and can't be distorted by narrative. In 2021, the year El Salvador adopted bitcoin as legal tender, the country's: - GDP rose of 10.3%.
- Turism rose 52%.
- Employment went up 7%.
- New businesses up 12%.
- Exports up 17%.
- Energy generation up 19%.
- Energy exports went up 3,291%.
- Internal revenue went up 37% (without raising taxes).
- Crime and murder went down 95%.
So far, El Salvador seems to be succeeding, and if they do, many countries will follow.

| The discovery of Bitcoin is an incredibly empowering contribution to humanity. It is comparable to the realization that we can manipulate fire and the invention of the wheel — it is a sound money technology that accurately represents a fair exchange of energy and is crucial for any sentient species to evolve and grow to become an interstellar civilization.
Bitcoin gives great power to humankind, but with great power comes great responsibility and without responsibility, freedom is meaningless. Bitcoin encourages its users to be more responsible in every way. When you run a node, you are Bitcoin. You are the bank. You are responsible for your own money and responsible for maintaining a copy of the entire ledger. |

Bitcoiners are genuinely nice people, and most likely will offer a hand to help you in any circumstance.
Just never ask them to sell their bitcoin — never ...
Stack harder,
