"El Salvador's Bitcoin investments are in the black"
Nayib Bukele reminded the community that when, three years ago, he decided to switch the country’s economy to Bitcoin-powered tracks and make BTC the national currency of El Salvador, there were thousands of articles that ridiculed their supposed losses on that investment.
The president emphasized that they have no intention to sell their BTC, and that has never been the goal. He added: “We are fully aware that the price will continue to fluctuate in the future, this doesn’t affect our long-term strategy.”
He believes that “the naysayers and the authors of those hit pieces” should take back their negative statements and “issue retractions, offer apologies, or, at the very least, acknowledge that El Salvador is now yielding a profit, just as they repeatedly reported that we were incurring losses.”
Earlier today, Bitcoin managed to and hit $41,900 for the first time since April last year.
