#Bitcoin is now legal tender in #ElSalvador thanks to self-ascribed "coolest dictator in the World" @nayibbukele

@_elfaro_ journalist @raudaz_ reveals the real impact of the dangerous gamble

Listen to "Bukele, Bitcoin and El Salvador w/ Nelson Rauda" ⚓ anchor.fm/when-the-music…

I want to thank @gladstein and @HRF for supporting free speech and free expression in the face of tyranny, and for their role in hosting the #OsloFreedomForum in Miami.

I want to thank Nelson and other journalists around the world who take real risks in speaking truth to power.

Please check out Nelson's work by following him on twitter (@raudaz_ ) and by going to elfaro.net.

His piece mocking out-of-touch #Bitcoin bros in El Salvador, "Bitcoin evangelists dance conga in El Salvador" is available here:

Please read the excellent work of @gladstein that describes the full spectrum of the #Bitcoin law as well as the history of money in #ElSalvador that was discussed in the podcast here:

I want to say a special thank you to some anonymous #ElSalvador dissidents for contributing to this episode and a special thanks to @davidgerard for his critical review and his previous work that details the reality of #Bitcoin on the ground.

I interviewed roughly 20 people at the #OsloFreedomForum in #Miami and I plan to upload quite a bit of content over the next few days.
