All these praising Bukele.
Look, Bukele is a politician, he has an agenda. It may be partially aligned with ours, and sure, good for us while it lasts. But as soon as he gets into some political trouble and for some reasons, staying in power requires him to ditch this whole Bitcoin thing, he won't blink an eye.
Yep. I mean all politician worship, but yeah. Bukele recently gave Binance the only non-provincial Digital Assets License, which is a slightly higher one than Bitfinex's. No mention from Max and Stacy who have had some things to say about CZ in the past.
Even RFK is SUPER anti-nuclear.
Yesterday people were already simping for this guy (Javier Milei) from Argentina who also backed a crypto ponzi a couple years back. (Source:https://www.thestreet.com/cryptocurrency/argentina-pro-bitcoin-candidate-javier-milei)
If a politician just MENTIONS Bitcoin, it's amazing how many people buy it.

I remember some more-less 1 hour interview with Bukele long time ago - and my personal feeling after it was that he is politician, but also is Bitcoin Maxi (so he "would blink an eye", imo ;)
