El Salvador is one of the countries in terms of Bitcoin investment.  San Salvador, and El Salvador 2 New Yorkers accused of being chief adviser to Naib Bukile on Bitcoin acceptance.  Max Keizer and Stacy Herbert also invested in Bitcoin ventures in Central American countries and founded a crypto exchange backers that linked to Bitcoin.  El Salvador helped manage the sovereign debt sale.
Bitcoin Salvador

"BTC paradise" and not "crypto paradise", they made only BTC a legal tender, and it is a BTC city they plan to build, their plans are all around BTC and not crypto. Their economy has not changed much from what i have read, i know 'BTC tourists' who want to spend BTC and can go to El Salvador, may do so, and it surely has increased revenue from tourism; but i don't know if it is enough to boost their economy so much.
I don't believe El Salvador can ever become one of the richest countries in the world. I know if we believe Nayib Bukele's tweets on BTC's they've acquired, then they have bought a lot of BTC's, if BTC rises in price they will make very good profit, but it is not enough for a 'poor' country like El Salvador that's in debt to now become of one the richest in the world.

Bloomberg and every other website with figures on how much BTC El Salvador owns all got their calculations from various tweets from Nayib Bukele, he usually tweets whenever El Salvador purchases BTC, but not everyone would believe only a tweet without any other proof, such as transaction ID, or the wallets holding the funds.
That prediction is not even possible, except there is a total collapse of the banking system in many countries, and the money people could save from the collapse flows into the BTC network, which i don't think can happen.

Nayib Bukele creatively invites you to move to El Salvador, while naming such advantages as "the lowest crime rate in America, no shootings and robberies, excellent coffee, beaches and weather", it seems to me that he exaggerates about the low crime rate, because recently the largest prison in America for 40k prisoners was opened in El Salvador.

I've also come across this news recently, but establishing a 40,000 maximum capacity prison in El-Savador does not mean there have not been a reduced crime rate in El-Savador, i want to believe nit would have been a long term plan that had been in place when things aren't good enough before the total turnaround we bow had with El-Savador in terms of crime rate, just take it as a long time plan that probably had undergone through a MoU that such should be sited in El-Savador for some reasons that may not be clear to us as the public, with that yet El-Savador is well conducive for a good living now because tourist wouldn't have wanted to visit the country if the crime rate hadn't been dealt with, the Bukele administrative knows what it planned when they make everyone enjoy both fiat and bitcoin currency for payment while including every other bitcoin attracting developments in the country to boost it economy, no more violence as before in El-Savador because bitcoin has help reduced many means liable for citizens to partake in such.

This image from the dailymail.co.uk article you have attached shows the prison situation as El Salvador's congress extends its year-long anti-gang crackdown.

Quoting from reuters.com published on February 16, 2023 that it is true that El Salvador has a high crime rate where 2% of adult El Salvadorans are behind bars. But since President Nayib Bukele asked the country's congress to approve a state of exception in March last year, the murder rate has decreased by 57% in 2022 compared to 2021.^[1]
That's what I can see from the news and it could be based on government data.

I can see Nayyib Bukele's tweet inviting us to move to El Salvador as a signal that he and his cabinet in government are serious about bringing economic change.

I guess the move to remove taxes from tech innovation is aimed at encouraging local adoption of the tech sector in the country and since the president is a young star that knows the importance of technological innovation to nation-building in the contemporary time, but for the fact that the country adopted bitcoin as a legal entity sometime 2021 which was a great milestone that places El Salvador among the most tech-friendly countries.

-The move to give tax holidays for tech innovations will help attract young El Salvador to get involved and help build locally developed software that could help I'm solving many problems facing the country and its economy.

-This will also attract visitors to explore the proposed Bitcoin city and the rest of the other projects initiated by the government to help promote Bitcoin.

El Salvador's legal tender law is about bitcoin, and not about "crypto."  You use the term "bitcoin" one time in your post (maybe that was an accident?), but you use the term "crypto" 5 times.  Are you trying to sound "smarter?" or are you just confused about what is going on in El Salvador?

Maybe you should reconsider your post and learn how to focus on at least what is going on in El Salvador, which is bitcoin first - especially since El Salvador has been trying to focus on bitcoin first (and to any extent that "crypto" might be tolerated in El Salvador, it seems to be a side issue, and not the main thing that is going on in El Salvador," but probably you are too busy wishing that El Salvador were to be promoting shitcoins.. so you frame your post in a confusing way.. and refuse to use the word bitcoin (except once) - even though Bitcoin happens to be what El Salvador is doing...

Are you doing that on purpose? or are you merely confused?


Sounds like you are "eating up" the propaganda, no?  Are you saying anything that makes sense?  Do you know the subject matter well enough to proclaim that El Salvador is currently failing and is going to continue to fail?  It surely does not seem that the facts are sufficiently on your side, and you are largely just spouting out conclusory claims that are from hostile international entities that do not like the idea of El Salvador attempting to employ some sovereignty through attempts at getting its financial house in order, and surely any country (or even any institution or any individual) who might start out by getting into bitcoin, but they might have debts or they might be in a bad financial situation, it can take a wee bit of time for things to get turned around (such as getting into an improving state), and you seem to be ready to judge both current failure and also continued failure and that really does not seem to line up with actual facts on the ground... at least you have not really backed up your assertions of El Salvador's supposed failure - beyond that it is your opinion and your speculation.

Bitcoin still seems to serve as a great talking-point in order to attempt to facilitate sound money kinds of ideas.. and responsibility and a lot of the things that go along with sound money as compared with the various shallow values that seem to go along with fiat money, debt and also fake pumpenings of systems to make it appear as if there is value when the values do not have a sound basis, except that it is using money borrowed from the future to make it look like the present is sound when it is not..

So I don't know.. if it is fair to say that bitcoin all by itself is not doing it, even though technically you are probably correct, yet a real true attempt at bitcoin does seems to facilitate stronger talking points over various aspects of our current status quo systems that are imploding upon themselves because of the extent of the debt that continues to be allowed to build and the failure/refusal to incentivize sound values (which seems to be what bitcoin does).

what we can be certain of is! bukele must work harder and more seriously in the development of this bitcoin adoption. because in any case there will always be parties who support and those who refuse, because surely, behind the success that can be achieved from adopting bitcoin, there will definitely be some parties who feel disadvantaged from this adoption. such as Central banks, or local communities. so I'm sure, even now maybe there will be some parties who feel disadvantaged because of the adoption of this bitcoin and will continue to frustrate or at least disrupt it.

so for sure, as much as possible, as much as possible, before the new president replaces president bukele. president bukele must be able to continue to bring good news about bitcoin, good image about bitcoin, and good results from this bitcoin adoption. because if what comes out is positive, I'm sure this adoption will be viewed positively by all El Salvadorans. even El Salvadorans who don't like bitcoin too, if they see something that can advance the country of their birth, they will definitely at least think again.

and bitcoin adoption in el Salvador is still in development stage. but even though it is still in the development stage, it has seen positive results.

and this is one of the positive things that el Salvador got from the fruit of bitcoin adoption.
