El Salvador’s president Nayib Bukele announced that the Central American nation will begin purchasing one Bitcoin (BTC) every day.

When he bought 80 Bitcoin this summer, the President only shared screenshots of the purported transactions, suggesting that El Salvador was using a centralized exchange to execute orders.
Today’s announcement also follows Bukele’s earlier comments on the FTX saga, with El Salvador’s President tweeting earlier this week that “FTX is the opposite of Bitcoin.”
The Bitcoin convention “was made unequivocally to forestall Ponzi plans, bank runs, Enron, WorldCom, Bernie Madoff, Sam Bankman-Seared… bailouts, and abundance redistributions,” he said.
