President Nayib Bukele: “El Salvador has just bought it’s first 200 coins. Our brokers will be buying a lot more as the deadline approaches.”

Just announced on his Twitter feed.

Feels like the entire financial world is watching El Salvador this week. Less than 24 hours until Bitcoin becomes legal tender for the first time.

Interesting to see the different perspectives from TradFi as well as the crypto world. I’m hoping it’s a smashing success. For El Salvador, for Bitcoin, and for the crypto community around the world.

I wonder what Satoshi would think if he/she/they are still out there. This entire week feels like something out of a movie; if you were to go back 10 years and tell someone this was happening, it would probably seem outrageous.

¡Buena suerte El Salvador!

EDIT President Nayib Bukele just tweeted an update:

El Salvador just bought 200 new coins. We now hold 400 #bitcoin #BitcoinDay
