Predsednik Salvadorja se je vrnil k komentarjem ekonomista o "Crackpot BTC zakonu"

El Salvador, the small Central American Nation is all set to bring Bitcoin Law into effect from September 7. The Latin American country created history on June 9 after Congress odobren Bitcoin as a legal tender. The bold decision was met with criticism from the likes of IMF, World Bank, and several other rating agencies. The latest to join the list is Steve Hanke, an economist at John Hopkins University.

Hanke criticized El Salvador President Nayib Bukele for continuing with his Bitcoin implementation plan, claiming the President is “playing with fire” that might burn El Salvador. He said,

" StateDept sankcioniral 14 uradnikov salvadorske vlade, Svetovna banka & IMF izdala opozorila, obveznice ELSL pa so se nabrale. Toda Pres. Nayib Bukele je ignoriral te rdeče zastave in korakal s svojim crackpotom Bitcoin Pravo. Bukele se igra z ognjem. ELSL bo zgorel. "

Bukele se je odzval na tvit ekonomista, ki ga je označil za "boomer". Predsednik Bukele se je soočal s številnimi kritikami po vsem svetu in tudi znotraj države. Opozicijska stranka v državi je zaradi gospodarskega neravnovesja celo vložila tožbo za ustavitev izvajanja zakona o bitcoinih.

Predsednik Bukele nima namena ustaviti izvajanja bitcoinov

The warnings from IMF and WorldBank were mainly regarding the ill effect of Bitcoin's volatility on the lenders and the financial market. However, President Bukele has maintained throughout that the Bitcoin Law is no sham and hasn’t been passed just for the sake of the international press. Bukele believes BTC can solve El Salvador’s banking crisis where more than 70% of the population is unbanked.

He also launched a Bitcoin airdrop campaign to promote the use of Bitcoin wallet where each adult citizen would receive $30 worth of BTC. The Central Bank of the country recently released the first regulatory policy draft for the banks that included rules and regulations for engaging with Bitcoin and dealing with BTC transactions.
