Ел Салвадор го купува натопиот

The president of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, tweeted Friday that his country just bought 410 BTC for $15 million. Having paid about $36,585 per coin, Bukele wrote, “Some guys are selling really cheap.”

Во истиот твит, Букеле исто така изјави дека сепак не го пропуштил падот. „Не, згрешив, не го пропуштив“, напиша салвадорскиот претседател како одговор на неговиот твит на 14 јануари во кој пишува: „Мислам дека овој пат можеби го пропуштив падот“.

The price of bitcoin began a steep decline in early November last year from above $67K, based on data from Bitcoin.com Markets. BTC started the year around $47K but fell below $41K on Jan. 8. The crypto then slowly crept back up and moved sideways until Jan. 20 when it suffered a sharp decline. At the time of writing, the price of BTC is $35,713.02.

While bitcoin was moving sideways, Bukele thought he missed the dip. On Jan. 14, BTC was hovering around $43K.

At the time of writing, the price of bitcoin has dropped almost 8% in the last 24 hours, more than 17% in the past seven days, and almost 29% in the past 30 days. However, it is still up 15.4% for the year.

El Salvador passed a bitcoin law making BTC legal tender alongside the U.S. dollar in September last year. Since then, it has been a regular purchaser of bitcoin.

In September last year, El Salvador bought 700 bitcoins. The country additionally bought 420 BTC in October, 100 BTC in November, and 171 BTC in December. With the latest purchase, El Salvador has bought 1,801 BTC altogether.

Earlier this month, Bukele made some bullish predictions for 2022 about bitcoin. Besides expecting the price of bitcoin to reach $100,000 this year, the Salvadoran president foresees two more countries adopting BTC as legal tender. He also said that El Salvador’s Bitcoin City will commence construction during the year and the country’s volcano bonds will be oversubscribed.
