Președintele El Salvador îi numește pe senatorii americani „boomers” în legătură cu Bitcoin Bill

  • President Nayib Bukele has called three US senators “boomers” over legislation they introduced to assess the impacts of El Salvador’s Bitcoin Law
  • Bukele, whose country has around 1801 bitcoin in possession, told the senators they had zero jurisdiction over an independent nation

El Salvador’s President told US senators on Wednesday to stay out of his country’s “internal affairs” after they introduced draft legislation seeking to assess economic harm caused by the nation’s adoption of bitcoin.

Senators Jim Risch, Bill Cassidy and Bob Mendez introduced the Responsabilitatea pentru criptomoneda în El Salvador (ACES) Act on Wednesday that, if passed, would require a State Department assessment on El Salvador’s adoption of bitcoin as legal tender.

Specifically, the bill seeks to determine how El Salvador’s Bitcoin Law came to pass, what the financial effects are upon both El Salvador and the US economies and the potential for crypto to circumvent US sanctions, among other requests.

The bill also seeks a plan to “mitigate potential risks to the US financial system.”

“El Salvador recognizing Bitcoin as official currency opens the door for money laundering cartels and undermines US interests,” said Cassidy in a declaraţie on Wednesday. “If the United States wishes to combat money laundering and preserve the role of the dollar as a reserve currency of the world, we must tackle this issue head-on.”

In response, President Nayib Bukele labeled the senators “boomers” and said they had zero jurisdiction over a “sovereign and independent nation.”

“We are not your colony, your back yard or your front yard. Stay out of our internal affairs. Don’t try to control something you can’t control,” Bukele a postat pe Twitter.

“Boomers” is a slang term typically used by teenagers and young adults to mock attitudes associated with the baby boomer generation — people born in the two decades following World War II.

Last year, El Salvador became the first country in the world to formally adopt bitcoin as a legal tender alongside its national currency and the US dollar. The International Monetary Fund last month a îndemnat El Salvador to remove bitcoin’s status as legal tender, citing risks to global financial stability and consumer protections.
