It has been years that I have thought the same thing: "When the first central banks are going to buy Bitcoin and hold it as a reserve asset such as gold or USD; we might see a Bitcoin Run !"
With the recent development in El Salvador and even if in the past some central banks have bought some Bitcoin (I think Bulgaria did for example). I was still waiting for THE moment.
With Nayib Bukele, El Salvador and its parlement passing a law to make BTC a legal tender and saying they will also use it as a reserve currency for their central bank. I believe we are at a turning point!
It is not about the amount but about a precedent. Will we talk about the "El Salvador precedent" in history book? Maybe !
As I wrote on a previous article, this is spreading through young politicians in Latin and Central America. I would expect other "small" nations to join the party.
Nevertheless, we have to expect some retaliation from the established financial system. Just a few minutes ago I just read this article: IMF sees legal, economic issues with El Salvador bitcoin move
“Adoption of bitcoin as legal tender raises a number of macroeconomic, financial and legal issues that require very careful analysis,” said Gerry Rice, an IMF spokesman, during a scheduled press briefing.
Rice said the Fund will later on Thursday meet with Bukele to discuss the bitcoin law. El Salvador is in discussions with the IMF seeking a near $1 billion program.
Can you see the incoming blackmailing? I guess they won't get the money if they keep BTC.
As Crypto users would say: "HODL"!
And we have to make sure they are helped in the process. Come on crypto community, we need to support this bold move.
