No authoritarian government — especially one that understands the liberating power of Bitcoin in the hands of its people — would ever do what El Salvador is doing. That alone should make the world rethink the opposition narratives about President @nayibbukele. He is leading one of the most ambitious national transformations of our time, and it is precisely the scale and courage of these reforms that draw criticism. Something he himself fully understands. Spend two hours with him, as I did, and it becomes clear why Salvadorans support him so deeply. He speaks with clarity, conviction, and an unmistakable love for his country. No topic was off-limits; no question was too sensitive. What surprised me most was how genuine and grounded he is — even empathetic toward those who criticize him, and remarkably protective of his own opposition. This is not how authoritarians behave. This is how confident, future-oriented leaders behave — leaders who trust their people enough to give them real economic sovereignty. Bitcoin is the opposite of government control. It is freedom, transparency, and individual empowerment. And President Bukele has embraced it as a legal tender not to consolidate power, but to distribute it. That is why he remains so overwhelmingly popular: Salvadorans can feel, every day, that the direction of their country is finally shifting in their favor. The world should take note. Engage him, listen to him, challenge him. He is a force for positive change — not against it. @stacyherbert @btchistoricosv @bitcoinofficesv

8 months ago, on election night, we were on top of the world after Polymarket called the election. 8 days later, the FBI broke down my door at 6am and took all my computers and phones, looking for anything that could imply foul play. While traumatic, it etched the story of and the ensuing resistance, into the history of American politics. And today, I'm happy to announce that this chapter of the story is over. After cooperating and engaging, we've been cleared of any wrongdoing. Justice prevailed. God Bless America 🇺🇸

Blackrock and EVERY other institution has been buying bitcoin, ETH, Ondo and others for months and years. (THEY Are now artificially keeping the price under 100k so their billionaire friends can get in on the action. ) Meanwhile the media has been very quiet about how you sntiment is low for retail investors. 1. Holidays - money was spent like peasants, not investors 2. New years coming - retail focused on the next party 3. Tax harvesting 4. Cpi data was shit 5. Media is quiet Yet again… BLACKROCK AND Institutions alike are buying bitcoin OTC and other crypto left and right USA has a PRO CRYPTO administration coming in Gary Gensler out. We have Janet yellin -out We really couldn’t be set for a more bullish 2025. Retail is selling. They have been selling because @buttfuckcryptoman69 on tik tok said the top is in, meanwhile he has $4700 dollars to his name and lives in a 1 bedroom apt and works a 9-6 at dicks sporting goods. Yea that’s the reality. People are listening to people that have no clue. In addition, once a retail investor sees their portfolio drop 20-30 or 40% they lose faith and take a loss. Not until the psychology of the market changes do they get back in in the psychology of the market will change. DCA DCA DCA

Crypto is freedom We can choose to go the centralized route in which the government backed stable coins are created and they watch our every move, stop us from buying what we want or investing into what we want by way of a CBDC. Or…… We invest ourselves into decentralized prnment tyranny/control. The breaking point is here What way do we go as a world ?

If you think El Salvador “bent a knee” to the IMF, zoom out: The Bitcoin Law should’ve bankrupted El Salvador. The establishment did everything in its power to force @nayibbukele into capitulation. He didn’t. And not only did he keep the Bitcoin Law—he also got the IMF deal 👇

Sponsored a bill on 2024-06-25
Bill
To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to allow the payment of certain Federal taxes with bitcoin.
Details
This bill amends the Internal Revenue Code to enable individuals to pay federal taxes using Bitcoin. It requires the Treasury Secretary to establish a payment method that includes immediately converting received Bitcoin to its dollar equivalent. The Secretary would also issue regulations to define when payments are considered received and delineate responsibilities for tax and non-tax matters between payers, financial intermediaries, and the Secretary, aiming to integrate Bitcoin as an accepted payment option for individual tax obligations.
