You can't have freedom with a gang running your country through fear and corruption, you fucking idiot. Especially a small country.
So you're willing to deprive people of due-process? And you're pro Patriot-Act? And you have no care for civil liberties? But the gangs bro! I don't want to hear about terrorism, gangs, or Russians as an excuse to violate people's rights; that's quite antithetical to bitcoin. And considering the deals El Salvador has made with China in exchange for their debt, how the free-trade agreement is going down under the One-China guise, and the lack of transparency around who holds the keys/custody for El Salvador's Treasury bitcoin, I'm surprised nobody has said anything. That's because all that matters is NgU. Not a goddamn thing else.
Bitcoin doesn't need Bukele.
What Bukele has done is great in snapshot. But guess what? There's an x-axis too: time. And if his economy doesn't improve rapidly, he'll face political revenge, and organized cultural division. Then he has to keep doing the same thing to political dissidents. This is always how these things start if you study enough history. Then suddenly a Juan Guiado type puppet shows up on White House grounds shaking hands with the U.S. President.
