The IMF is, like all of these “international institutions,” simply an arm of the Jewish conspiracy operating out of the United States.

The American globalist system has set things up in such a way that you have to play ball with the IMF, or you just get buried alive.

RT:

El Salvador’s Congress has approved a reform revoking Bitcoin’s status as legal tender, in a reversal of the country’s landmark 2021 decision, according to media reports. The amendments to its Bitcoin law come after a loan deal with the International Monetary Fund, which requires that the acceptance of the cryptocurrency be made voluntary in the country.

In 2021, El Salvador became the first country to adopt cryptocurrency as legal tender, officially recognizing Bitcoin alongside the US dollar, which had been the nation’s primary currency for two decades.

The legislative changes passed on January 30 removed Bitcoin’s mandatory acceptance in El Salvador, making its use entirely voluntary. The reform was approved with 55 votes in favor and two against.

The amendments reportedly come after nearly two years of pressure from the IMF, which urged the country to mitigate Bitcoin-related financial risks in exchange for a $1.4 billion loan, which was agreed to in December, to stabilize the country’s struggling economy.

Making the issue voluntary doesn’t really change anything fundamentally. The government is still buying Bitcoin and it is still being used as legal tender in the country.

Still, it’s unfortunate.

We were hoping that more countries would move in this same direction, and instead we got sabotaged by the Jews once again.

The good news is, Trump is pretty solidly pro-crypto, if only because he’s realized he can make billions of dollars off of it. Moreover, all of his Silicon Valley backers are hilted up in Bitcoin, and Larry Fink is going all-in.

We are riding dirty with Dirty Larry.

This remains a time to be bullish.

I think Bukele means “we can kill these people for you.”

Awesome.

We need to kill all immigrants.

We cannot have these people in our country anymore, and if these rats learn we are sending them to El Salvador to be murdered, many will self-deport.

We just need to get them out – out, out, out!

Reuters:

El Salvador on Monday offered to house in its jails “dangerous criminals” from anywhere in the world deported by the United States, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said after lengthy talks with the Central American country’s leader.

Rubio, who is on his first oversees tour as the U.S. top diplomat, is seeking support from countries in the region for the Trump administration’s attempts to deport large numbers of migrants.

He met with El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele and senior officials at Bukele’s residence on Lake Coatepeque outside the capital for almost three hours, where they agreed to go beyond El Salvador’s acceptance of its own deported citizens.

“Any … illegal immigrant in the United States who’s a dangerous criminal – MS-13, Tren de Aragua, whatever it may be – he has offered his jails, so we can send them and he will put them in his jails,” Rubio said, referring to members of criminal gangs.

Bukele also offered to house dangerous criminals who are U.S. citizens or legal residents, Rubio said, although it was unclear whether the U.S. would take up that offer. More details of the agreement would be forthcoming, he added.

…

Bukele said in a post on X that he had offered the U.S. “the opportunity to outsource part of its prison system”.

“We are willing to take in only convicted criminals (including convicted U.S. citizens) into our mega-prison… in exchange for a fee,” he wrote shortly after Rubio’s announcement, referring to El Salvador’s so-called terrorism confinement center.

“The fee would be relatively low for the U.S. but significant for us, making our entire prison system sustainable.”

Bukele is truly our greatest ally.

And what is he???

He’s Palestinian.

Tell that to the boomers.

We should send the boomer filth to these El Salvadorian dungeons as well, frankly.

They’re the ones who had the idea of liberating women and turning over total control to the Jews.

Let them rot in El Salvador!

Mass graves for boomers!

]]> El Salvador Announces Another Record Low Murder Rate in 2024 https://www.anglinarchive.com/2025/01/02/el-salvador-announces-another-record-low-murder-rate-in-2024/ Thu, 02 Jan 2025 00:00:00 +0000
We have to protect their human rights!

These people will keep talking about how El Salvador is violating “fundamental rights,” but they will never elaborate and explain how anyone other than the gang members’ rights are being violated.

They will not then explain why gang members should have rights.

AP:

El Salvador closed 2024 with a record low 114 homicides, continuing notable security gains under a second full year of a state of emergency that has given the government extraordinary powers and curtailed some fundamental rights.

President Nayib Bukele said via the social platform X that the number announced Wednesday by the small Central American country’s Attorney General’s Office made it the safest nation in the Western Hemisphere.

Not all nations had published their 2024 annual homicide totals, but the 1.9 homicides per 100,000 in population that Bukele said had been achieved would put it below what any Latin American country had reported in 2023. El Salvador’s official total does not include the killings of five suspected gang members in shootouts with security forces.

In March 2022, El Salvador’s notoriously powerful street gangs killed 62 people in a matter of hours. The congress granted Bukele’s administration a requested “state of exception” to crackdown on the gangs that included suspending some Constitutional rights and giving police more powers to arrest and hold suspects.

That seems reasonable enough.

More than 83,000 people have been arrested since, the majority jailed without due process. Bukele has said that 8,000 people who were innocent have been released.

Civil rights organizations have reported 354 people who have died in government custody during the crackdown.

Who cares?

The fact that they released people who were linked to the gangs because they found them innocent means that they’re being reasonable. “He’s a gang member but we can’t link him directly to a crime so we’re letting him go.” They’re not just arresting random people.

Despite the restrictions, the improvements in security have contributed to Bukele’s extremely high popularity. For years, many Salvadorans lived in fear of the gangs that controlled swaths of the country, extorting, killing and forcibly recruiting.

In 2015, El Salvador had 6,656 homicides, making it one of the world’s deadliest countries. In 2023, there were 214 homicides. The advances have inevitably raised the question of whether the state of emergency can still be justified to which Bukele and his ministers have obliquely answered that they have not yet achieved all that they wish.

The congress, in which Bukele’s party and allies hold a supermajority, continues to renew the special powers each month.

The gangs’ repressive control made it difficult and dangerous for residents to travel between neighborhoods, including for work. Now residents say they can walk their neighborhoods without fear.

The media is claiming that no one can replicate what El Salvador has done because it would be “bad for human rights.”

Is there anyone other than Jews and their army of ninnying women who believes that we should allow society to be menaced by criminals, to sacrifice people’s lives, in order to defend the “human rights” of the criminals?

Does anyone think that the people of Chicago would complain about “human rights” if the government implemented an emergency military operation to fix that city?

Declaring martial law during a surge of mass criminality has always been considered reasonable, and El Salvador is only even using “martial law lite.”

🇸🇻EL SALVADOR SECURES $3.5 FUNDING DEAL

➡️Bitcoin remains legal tender
➡️El Salvador will continue buying bitcoin (at possibly an accelerated pace) for its Strategic Bitcoin Reserve
➡️Bitcoin capital markets will continue to be built; for example, the recent tokenized issuance…

— Stacy Herbert 🇸🇻🚀 (@stacyherbert) December 19, 2024

The IMF is of course pushing the dollar, despite the fact that every country would do much better if they were on the Bitcoin standard.

The IMF, like all of these “international” organizations is simply a branch of the US federal government, and they will do whatever the US government wants them to do.

Reuters:

El Salvador said on Thursday it would keep buying bitcoin, possibly at an accelerated pace, a day after the government reached a financing agreement with the International Monetary Fund that had said it should limit its exposure to the cryptocurrency.

Stacy Herbert, El Salvador’s national bitcoin office director, wrote on X that bitcoin would remain legal tender in the Central American country, and that the government would keep adding to its strategic reserves.

On Wednesday, El Salvador struck a $1.4 billion loan deal with the IMF, as part of which the government of President Nayib Bukele agreed that it would scale back its bitcoin policies. The deal specified that tax payments will only be made in the other official tender, the U.S. dollar.

IMF spokesperson Julie Kozack said on Thursday that planned legal reforms in El Salvador would make acceptance of bitcoin by the private sector voluntary.

…

El Salvador owns 5,968 coins, valued at $594 million. Bitcoin has rallied in recent days after U.S. President-elect Donald Trump reiterated plans for a strategic reserve for the cryptocurrency, similar to a strategic oil reserve.

Well, it didn’t rally today, I can tell you that much.

But hey, look – it’s on sale today.

Trump’s statements about a Bitcoin reserve are a lot bigger deal than the fed making statements about rates. Trump is going to lower rates regardless to get money flowing again.

Bitcoin will probably go back down again in the future… but maybe it won’t?

It’s probably the only asset that even makes sense. You can say real estate, but how much confidence do you have that the US government won’t confiscate your property?

Bitcoin is one thing they cannot confiscate.

]]> El Salvador: Jewish Pressure Groups Warn Bukele is Getting More Based https://www.anglinarchive.com/2024/03/30/el-salvador-jewish-pressure-groups-warn-bukele-is-getting-more-based/ Sat, 30 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0000

“Today, El Salvador has the lowest homicide rate in the western hemisphere.”

These “human rights” people are such  cancer.

Bukele got the murder rate down to zero, saving thousands of people a year from what are often very gruesome deaths.

In response, the international Jewish pressure group and gay sex activism, Amnesty International (apparently not busy with the Gaza situation), calls for gangs to be let out on the streets.

I don’t know what “human rights” means. It appears to be more or less interchangeable with “democracy” as more of a “certified fresh (by the Jews)” label than a defined concept. In many cases, however, “human rights” appears to mean “mass suffering and death.” It is always used in a way that necessarily implies an increase in crime.

“Human rights” is used to explain why hundreds of millions of immigrants should be brought into white countries to loot and pillage. It’s used to explain why Burma should allow Moslems to commit terrorism, it is now used to explain why the most violent gang on earth should be allowed to roam the streets in El Salvador.

Al-Jazeera:

As El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele embarks on his second term in office, an international rights group has warned that his war on gangs has created a spiralling human rights crisis.

As of February 2024, Bukele’s draconian two-year campaign, which has seen the authorities detain about 78,000 people, has caused 235 deaths in state custody, said Amnesty International on Wednesday. Citing a local rights group, it also reported 327 cases of enforced disappearances.

Who is missing these people enough to report their disappearance?

“Reducing gang violence by replacing it with state violence cannot be a success,” said Amnesty’s Americas director Ana Piquer in a statement. The Salvadoran government had adopted “disproportionate measures”, she said, denying, minimising and concealing human rights violations.

It is literally a success.


He’s saved thousands of lives.

Even if the numbers of dead and disappeared by the government are accurate, and even if you think a gang member’s life is worth the same as the life of one of their victims (very Jewish), there are still fewer people dying.

Bukele launched his war on gangs in March 2022, slashing homicides to the lowest rate in three decades after imposing a state of emergency that suspended the need for arrest warrants and the right to a fair trial, among other civil liberties. Prison overcrowding currently stands at 148 percent, according to Amnesty.

After Bukele consolidated power in a landslide win in February’s election, the rights group warned the situation looks set to worsen. “If this course is not corrected, the instrumentalization of the criminal process and the establishment of a policy of torture in the prison system could persist,” it said.

He’s got a mandate.

Some people think this is what “democracy” means. Of course, democracy means something very different when it is used by the Jews, having nothing to do with public opinion. Aside from the gang members themselves, I don’t think you could find a single person in El Salvador who wants the gangs released back onto the streets. But even if not a single person supports a policy, it is still “democracy” according to Jews.

Look at this:

Piquer said that Bukele had created a “false illusion” that he had found “the magic formula to solve the very complex problems of violence and criminality in a seemingly simple way”. She described the international community’s response as “timid”.

“The international community must respond in a robust, articulate and forceful manner, condemning any model of public security that is based on human rights violations,” she said.

It’s not an illusion. Everyone admits that the murder rate is at zero. That is the opposite of an illusion, it’s a hard fact.

The problem is not complex. It’s straightforward: criminals don’t commit crimes if they are in prison or dead.

This gibberish is just Jewish mumbo-jumbo.


This is Ana Piquer, the bitch who’d rather see you dead in a democracy than alive in a dictatorship

It’s not just the financial policy. It’s the double whammy of the financial policy and the totally unhinged global conquest agenda.

One can’t fall without the other falling. If either falls, they both fall.

Then: we shall all be healed.

RT:

The US economy is based on the “farce” of printing unlimited amounts of money, and Western civilization will collapse when that bubble “inevitably bursts,” Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele warned American conservatives on Thursday.

Fresh from winning a second term in office with 84% of the vote, Bukele arrived at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Maryland to a hero’s welcome. Hailed by American right-wingers for his adoption of Bitcoin as legal tender and his iron-fisted crackdown on gang crime, Bukele closed his speech with a call for massive structural changes to the US economy.

Conservatives, he said, “always tell me that the problem is high taxes, but they are wrong.”

“The real problem is that you pay high taxes only to uphold the illusion that you are funding the government, which you are not,” he claimed, before describing how the government is financed by Treasury bonds, which are purchased by the Federal Reserve with printed money backed by the bonds themselves.

That is absolutely true and you can’t explain it to conservatives. If everyone stopped paying taxes, nothing would even change in the medium term.

The US government’s revenue is not coming from taxes.

The government is funded by money printing, paper backed by paper. A bubble that will inevitably burst,” he said, adding that “the situation is even worse than it seems, because if most Americans and the rest of the world were to become aware of this farce, confidence in your currency would be lost. The dollar will fall, and Western civilization with it.”

“If the next president of the US does not make the necessary policies and structural changes, sooner or later that bubble will burst,” he concluded. “It will take a total re-engineering of the government from top to bottom.”

Bukele is a madman.

He turned a complete shithole into one of the primo places to live on the earth, and he did it quickly, simply by using basic “dictator” tactics.

Stuff like: “yeah, you know what? We’re just not going to allow crime anymore. We’re just gonna go ahead and ban it outright.”

El Salvador, once famous for the most brutal criminal gangs on earth, now is tied for the lowest homicide rate in the world.

His Bitcoin gamble is going to pay off too, I reckon, as is his alliance with the Chinese.

He’s a very smart man, but there’s no evidence genius. Everything he is doing is obvious. Any country can do this stuff at any time. They just don’t. Because of Jews and women.

The Empire Collapsing is Good

Conservatives are too fat and retarded to see that the empire collapsing is the only possible thing that can set them free. Nothing is fixable. It’s not. It’s just not fixable. Donald Trump couldn’t fix it. No one can fix it.

There is not even one single solitary issue that is fixable. You can’t get the government to admit that poisoning the water supply is a bad idea. You can’t stop a single war. Not one issue is fixable.

The empire has to fall down, and something new has to rise from the ashes.

]]> El Salvador: Bukele Gets Reelected With over 80% of the Vote https://www.anglinarchive.com/2024/02/06/el-salvador-bukele-gets-reelected-with-over-80-of-the-vote/ Tue, 06 Feb 2024 00:00:00 +0000

He’s for sure the “coolest dictator.”

In a free country, you’ll just keep electing a dictator.

The Guardian:

El Salvador’s president, Nayib Bukele, has won a thumping victory in elections after voters cast aside concerns about erosion of democracy to reward him for a fierce gang crackdown that transformed security in the central American country.

Provisional results on Monday morning showed Bukele winning 83% support with just over 70% of the ballots counted. Bukele declared himself the winner before official results were announced, claiming to have attained more than 85% of the vote.


Not even close

Thousands of Bukele’s supporters clad in cyan blue and waving flags thronged San Salvador’s central square to celebrate his re-election, which the 42-year-old leader termed a “referendum” on his government.

His New Ideas party is expected to win almost all of the 60 seats in the legislative body, tightening its grip on the country and bestowing Bukele, the most powerful leader in El Salvador’s modern history, with even more sway.

“All together the opposition was pulverised,” Bukele, standing with his wife on the balcony of the National Palace, told his supporters. “El Salvador went from being the most unsafe [country] to the safest. Now in these next five years, wait to see what we are going to do.”

New Ideas’ electoral success means Bukele will wield unprecedented power and be able to overhaul El Salvador’s constitution, which his opponents fear will result in scrapping of term limits.

Wildly popular, Bukele has campaigned on the success of his security strategy under which authorities suspended civil liberties to arrest more than 75,000 Salvadorans without charges. The detentions led to a sharp decline in nationwide murder rates and fundamentally altered a country of 6.3 million people that was once among the world’s most dangerous.

Some analysts have said the mass incarceration of 1% of the population is not sustainable in the long term.

Hours earlier, bullish Bukele held a press conference and said his party needed all the support it could muster to maintain its anti-gang fight and continue reshaping El Salvador.

“So, if we have already overcome our cancer, with metastases that were the gangs, now we only have to recover and be the person we always wanted to be,” said Bukele.

Few doubted the outcome of the elections. Polls showed most voters wanted to reward Bukele for decimating the crime groups that made life intolerable in El Salvador and fuelled waves of migration to the United States.

Guadalupe Guillen, a 55-year-old shopkeeper, showed up at the victory party dressed in a tunic and Arab scarf, a nod to Bukele’s Palestinian family heritage.

Yes, he is Palestinian, and doesn’t try to hide it (despite the fact that even Latin Americans can’t tell the difference between Latin Americans and Arabs).

“We are celebrating, thanking him, thanking God, for getting us out of this gang problem. We don’t want to go back to that horrible past,” said Guillen, who added she no longer pays $300 (£238) in extortion to the gangs every fortnight.

“Democracy is not at risk because all the people have voted for him,” said Guillen, echoing the government’s stance regarding concerns by western countries of authoritarian drift under Bukele.

This dumb peasant clearly understands nothing about democracy.

Candidates for FMLN and Arena, two parties that rotated power between them until 2019, were set to receive single-digit support as voters once again rejected traditional parties whose rule was marked by violence and corruption for decades.

A firebrand politician who often spars with foreign leaders and critics on social media, Bukele came to power in 2019 trouncing traditional parties with a vow to eliminate gang violence and rejuvenate a stagnant economy.

He used his party’s supermajority in the legislative assembly to pack the courts with loyalists and overhaul state institutions, solidifying his control of key parts of the government. He also championed the introduction of bitcoin as legal tender, drawing criticism from the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

El Salvador’s supreme electoral tribunal last year permitted him to run for a second term even though the country’s constitution prohibits it. Opponents fear Bukele will seek to rule for life, following the example of Nicaragua’d president, Daniel Ortega.

“Everyone knows it is unconstitutional to re-elect the president but what people want is security. They don’t care if it is unconstitutional, they just want to feel safe,” said Josue Galdamez, 39, a businessman and trader who supported Bukele because of his crusade against gangs.

…

Rights groups have said El Salvador’s democracy is under attack. Bukele has taken such concerns in his stride, at one point changing his profile on X to say: “World’s coolest dictator.“

Bukele’s biggest challenge in his second term is likely to be the economy, central America’s slowest growing during his time in power. More than a quarter of Salvadorans live in poverty.

The thing is, it doesn’t really matter if you live in poverty if there is no crime. Especially if it’s warm outside.

The humans flew past “post-scarcity” in the 1950s. No one on Earth who is “in poverty” is starving (unless they have someone starving them on purpose). If the weather is nice and you’ve got some beans and rice, life is fine.

But Bukele has foreign investment plans anyway, which will work.

This is one of the highest drops in crime in the history of the world

El Salvador is looking great.

Most of Latin America is looking great, frankly.

Things are really going in the right direction all over the globe.

Costa Rica is literally an American colony, but eventually, the rest of the Latin American countries and the Chinese will be able to do a coup there and fix that problem. Get the rats out.

The Guardian:

El Faro has survived many pressures in its 25 years reporting on El Salvador’s bloody drug wars, crime and institutional corruption.

“We’ve been harassed. We’ve received death threats from drug cartels, requiring us to contract armed security guards. And we’ve had the police coming to our houses after we revealed their corruption scandals,” said Óscar Martínez, editor of the online investigative outlet. “Some of our journalists have been exiled, but we have managed to continue reporting from San Salvador.”

Now, the digital publication says it is leaving the Central American country to escape a ratcheting clampdown on press freedom by its increasingly dictatorial president, Nayib Bukele.

El Faro is moving its headquarters to San José, Costa Rica, to avoid what it says are “fabricated accusations” from the government intended to shut them down.

The “fabricated accusations” probably have something to do with their ties to the gangs, which the paper itself openly admitted:


From their Wikipedia page

I doubt those were just innocent information gathering.

“This time we have no choice but to leave because it’s not one group that is after us. It is the entire state,” said Martínez.

Under Bukele’s rule, human rights watchdogs have warned of a steady erosion of El Salvador’s democracy.

The strongman’s hard line on crime has brought him mass popularity at home, but observers say at a great cost to human rights.

The Bukele government has marched armed soldiers into a court hearing, stacked the country’s judicial systems with loyalists and ruled with emergency powers for more than a year, incarcerating so many people that it had to build a new megaprison.

Why isn’t it a human right to not have to live around violent, homicidal retards?

“Bukele is an autocrat on steroids,” said Carolina Jiménez Sandoval, president of the Washington Office on Latin America (WOLA). “The speed with which he has co-opted all levels of power, in just one presidential period, is astonishing.”

…

Bukele’s attacks on the media are part of his strategy to control the narrative inside and outside the country as he tries to brand El Salvador as a safe, tropical bitcoin-friendly paradise, said Mario Gómez, a Salvadoran software engineer who fled the capital in 2021.

Gómez was detained by the national police after criticising a law which obliged all Salvadorans to accept the cryptocurrency.

“It’s really hard to show what is going on in El Salvador when you have a propaganda machine making sure the reality that journalists or in fact anyone wants to say about the government is delegitimised,” he said.

While some Salvadoran media have been pressured into self-censorship or shutting down entirely, El Faro continues to expose a number of high-profile scandals, putting it in the crosshairs of the government.

“We know that the government is running polygraph tests on officials to see if they have spoken with us,” said Martínez.

…

Though Martínez said the accusations are entirely baseless, the editors fear they cannot defend themselves in a state which no longer has rule of law.

“This is a country that no longer has a separation of powers, a country where one man alone controls those powers, and that man has accused us directly of money laundering. This makes it impossible for us to defend ourselves,” the editor said. “This is an aggressive step to protect our journalists and what our journalists do.”

While El Faro is relocating, it says it will keep as much of its team in the country as possible.

“Though this is a blow editorially, we will continue working independently and critically to expose the Bukele regime,” said Martínez. “We leave as a way to stay.”

Bukele is awesome.

Really, just a top tier dude.

He’s the first Bitcoin leader, for one. He’s cleaning up crime. He’s giving people freedoms. He’s supporting families.

He’s actually half Palestinian (Christian), by the way, which is interesting.

All the right people are whining about him, so he must be doing something good

Previously: El Salvador Officially Makes Bitcoin Legal Tender

I don’t even believe the coronavirus exists, but “loose weight and exercise to prevent getting sick” is always good advice.

It’s also following “The Science,” which claims that 8 of 10 people hospitalized with “covid-19” were overweight or obese.

I’m not going to go into the full denialism schtick – we already did that recently, if you missed it – but the same was true when “covid-19” was called “the flu.” If you go back and look at the research, severe illness from the flu was about 5 times more likely among the overweight and obese.

Of course, it’s basically true of every illness, so it doesn’t mean very much. Assuming you don’t have cancer or some other terminal illness, there is no greater determiner of any health outcome than BMI.

Being fat is a lot less likely than say, smoking and alcholism, and it is possible that it is less likely than say, heroin addiction.

If Western governments actually believed in this virus, and believed in their own “science,” and believed in solving the problem, the number one thing they would be doing is telling people to lose weight.

Instead, you have JD Pritzker telling you to get vaccinated and you’ll live forever.

As The Science now admits, the vaccine doesn’t prevent infection and death or transmission, so even if you really believed the vaccine was an effective prophylactic for reducing symptoms, you would still be focusing on telling people to lose weight.

In fact, even if there was no claim of a coronavirus, any government that claimed to care about the health of their population would be telling people to lose weight, and would be regulating the food industry and enacting various programs to help them lose weight.

But no.

Instead, the government actually endorses and funds “body positivity” propaganda that tells the population that it is actually healthy and good to be obese.

None of this is serious, and the basic lack of seriousness should make you question the veracity of the entire program.

Clearly, you can’t be against Bitcoin without being an internet villain, and so he’s back with us.

That’s good, sure – but let’s not put too much in that.

It’s good because Elon broke, he surrendered to the mob, he realized he can’t go to war with the greatest invention since the internet and win.

It’s also great because it shows that the entire argument of “Bitcoin is causing global warming” was a paper tiger. There is nowhere really to go with it, because the miners want to use “green” energy because it is cheaper. There are all of these isolated sources of hydroelectric and geothermic energy that are not currently being tapped because they’re out in the middle of nowhere, and Bitcoin miners are eager to tap that.

Michael Saylor’s mining council is going to manage this question. He will deal with it, solve it, and it will be done.

That means that Tomahawk Liz will have to come up with a new line of argument for why Bitcoin is bad. She probably will say “it causes coronavirus” just to cause people to scramble in confusion for a few days, to force Michael Saylor to create a council showing that Bitcoin doesn’t cause coronavirus.

But then what?

The jig is up.

We’re banking in Texas.

Republicans continue to go to bat in Washington.

The SEC is choosing not to regulate.

There were rumors Biden was going to say something about crypto at the G7 – he didn’t. He might try to blame Putin for it on Wednesday, but I doubt it. “Bitcoin is a Russian plot” sounds too silly and dumb.

Meanwhile, as we’re waiting on more news from Latin America: Tanzania’s on board.

We’re waiting for news out of Nigeria.

It’s funny that @jack is working with Nigeria at the same time Nigeria is at war with Twitter. It just shows that he has no influence at all on Twitter, which is very sad.

The more third world countries adopt Bitcoin, the better. Nigeria is a pretty big one, but if Mexico goes all in, the jig is up.

It’s still possible that the feds have some ace in the hole here. They could collapse the Tether scam, and that could do something – though no one really knows how that scam would collapse or what a collapse would do.

I had thought we were still going to go lower before we went higher – but now it’s looking like we might just ride straight to the Moon.

Looks like the bears are tamed.
