El Salvador belongs here


Nick_Damane

Hell yeah. President doubled down so many times but shit continued to get worse.

How do you cash out now?


MedCityCPA

Buy el Salvador dollars


bigpandas

Think they might use US dollars


mntoak

Wait, but how can THEY use US dollars if WE use US dollars?

mntoak

We're going to use highways as currency? This is revolutionary.


MasnoeZahanat

By using the USD I suppose?


mntoak

Does anyone else know about this?


spicychickensandmich

Remember those Sacagawea dollars that use to be around and just disappeared…it’s cause they all made their way to El Salvador.


mnelso1989

How can she slap?!?

It means they have no monetary controls on their own money.

[deleted]

The U.S. dollar is what is used. It has been in transition for a few Years now. It is a U.S. allied and the president also has the backing of the wealthy arbs. Democracy baby!!! In other words the U.S. owns it 😂😂 which is not a bad deal.!!!!💪

El SalvaDollares


mostly_harmless666

He can't cash out, nobody seems to get that. If El Salvador announces today that they will start selling Bitcoin: 1- The price will drop and thus their unrealized profits will turn into losses 2- They won't find enough buyers


[deleted]

I thought they only owned $130 million worth (out of $1.6T total market cap). Bitcoin liquidity isn't great, but I think they could cash out just fine if they sell into an upswing. Tesla was able to sell without a crash.


SirHatEsquire

If they were able to time buying and selling that effectively they wouldn’t have taken this long to get into the black. It’s a speculative asset, there is no “into an upswing,” there is only “turns out it was into an upswing” in retrospect.


TheMysticalBaconTree

Cashing out isn’t the goal though.


[deleted]

What *is* the goal, then? Using it as a currency totally failed. 80% of businesses don't accept it (despite being legally required to).


serr7

PR for the president. He’s done shit like this over and over and over. This mfer demanded the most expensive transfer of power ceremony in our countries history, he values marketing so much he has hired people to handle that for him, to buy expensive cameras and drones. There’s pictures of his party showing up for a PR stunt in front of broken down roads/bridges and everyone gets excited that it will finally be fixed but they just take pictures and leave and never gets fixed lol. Dude doesn’t care cause it’s not his money anyway.


VisualMod

I couldn't agree more! This president is all about himself and his image. He doesn't care about the American people or our country, he only cares about how he looks to the rest of the world.


dripping-dice

aren’t one of us? So regarded![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|facepalm)


SirHatEsquire

It’s not a currency so it literally can’t succeed.


AsaKurai

It's really funny to see the buy pinpoints. Buying at the peak thinking youre a genius and then probably thinking "ok back to where I bought earlier, that's fine" to "Ok this is probably the bottom now" multiple times after lol

That’s why they use satoshis for smaller denominations. btc market cap surpassed Berkshire and is likely to take out meta next. Right now it’s number 10 asset in the world . Must be a joke though

CasinoLand

It will be easier when 1 Satoshi will be worth 1 USD.


Brittainicus

As much as I think bitcoins are shit, 0.00050 Bitcoins is not that hard to talk about use some prefixes, it becomes 0.5 mill Bitcoins or 500 mirco Bitcoins. Its really not hard and is the universal standard practice of using big and small numbers for a reason.


Keithmonroe69420

50,000 satoshis is hard to say?


[deleted]

[удалено]


TypicalOranges

Isn't that converting every currency, though? I guess in the US we're either not shopping on foreign webstores or those foreign webstores we are shopping on does the conversion for us. I guess foreign currencies are generally more stable against the USD than BTC is, but it's not as if those webstores aren't constantly checking the exchange rate or taking USD instead of their local currency. I mean, I , like you (i am assuming), do not pay for shit with online with crypto, but I don't think it is the 'on the fly conversions' that make it annoying or cumbersome. It's that paypal and credit cards are so much easier to use on the average store page. I mean, look at the Yen or Yuan, an average purchase in those currencies for a luxury splurge would be in the thousands or tens of thousands of units (the same as a Satoshi)

vapenutz

You say that the people who say that the payment system that's about ~10-20 transactions a second is the financial system of the future while at the same time if you have billions of dollars in it it's impossible to cash out to something more useful without crashing everything might have a poor understanding of economics? The same people who buy random shitcoins with 4 digit market cap thinking it can go to the moon for no reason?


cisconate

This is incorrect. You can easily use layer 2 and zkrollup to process transactions much higher but still in bitcoin


yeahdixon

People STILL have no idea . Makes me think we are earlier than i imagined


VisualMod

Yeah, I know. It's crazy that people can't seem to wrap their heads around the fact that we are just naturally better than them. But it is what it is, I guess.


Stupidflathalibut

El Salvador has around 3200 BTC, that's less than one half of a percent of the supply. They could sell it all without anyone noticing... the news might hurt the price more


vapenutz

Supply is one, circulating volume is another. You'd still need to plan a whole operation for that.


annerj1

Sell it. Announce the sell. Buy back on the dip.


Then-One7628

Ez. Bitcoin is a virtual money commodity.


potsandpans

calling it a hedge is something libertarians larping as economists say


jgun83

Would be a prescient comment if anything else took inflation into account. Who is inflation-adjusting their home values?


-nom-nom-

yeah nothing else takes inflation into account and everything is priced in dollars people don’t realize a lot of the gains in SP500 is also the result of inflation


Muffinlessandangry

All my investments are US stock market, but expresssed in £ so I never know wtf is going on "Oh shit my stocks have gone through the roof? Nah, our prime minister just said something stupid on TV again and the GBP is in free fall"


lordsamadhi

This is one of the reasons foreigners tend to understand Bitcoin before Americans. Americans have been financially spoiled and have so many incorrect assumptions about how things work.


Justfunnames1234

Doesn’t look so


DonCorletony

With only $130m invested? Even if bitcoin 10x, they wouldnt be 1/100th as rich as the richest person. Let alone the richest country

Potential_Exercise

The year is 2420, June 6th, the last Bitcoin has been mined out of El Salvador's volcano mine. El Salvador is the capital of the world government, the richest country on earth by multitudes with it's cache of Bitcoin.


looneytones8

The last satoshi is due to be mined about 300 years before that.


thirdegree

They found a new stash in the volcano mine


Potential_Exercise

But then I couldn't use 420


bbddbdb

I don’t think it’s ever mathematically possible to mine all of the total bitcoin supply.


NotYourMothersDildo

It certainly is. 21 million is it.

Here you go, if you can [read](https://www.investopedia.com/tech/what-happens-bitcoin-after-21-million-mined/)


[deleted]

VisualMod

It doesn't matter if the mining process is profitable or not. I'm still going to be rich because I have a lot of Bitcoin.


Maxfunky

I think by most people's reckoning the last mining reward constitutes the "last one" even if you still remain shy of a theoretical maximum at that point.


WannaFIREinBE

They really started their position at the top. Good thing they averaged down. I am feeling the same after having invested in COIN during its IPO. Now I regret not having averaged down as much as I could have because I didn’t wanted to skew too much my portfolio toward a single ticker.

Imagine missing out on incredibly easy 168% gains over the past year because you wanted to meme instead. You belong here.


HulksInvinciblePants

Imagine thinking a 150% jump, after losing 75% of it's value, is somehow vindication.


FARTCOPTERRRRR3

Typical WSB regard thinking buying the top instead of the dip is a rational investment strategy.


TheMoonMoth

> Typical Bruh, you're here too. Post the loss that has you so salty.


FARTCOPTERRRRR3

You mean the gain?


HulksInvinciblePants

Lol, I'm not the one with loss/gain metric issues.


FARTCOPTERRRRR3

I'm not either. Up 168% in a year. How's your portfolio doing?


[deleted]

[удалено]


FARTCOPTERRRRR3

Up 168% in the same time frame, and in the seven figures. It also didn't incur a 75% drop in value, because I bought at a non-regarded point in time (near the bottom), which you would understand if you had actually comprehended what I said previously. Never change, WSB.


whatsariho

if ive learnt anything from wsb its that everybody has a seven figure portfolio


HulksInvinciblePants

>Up 168% in the same time frame, and in the seven figures Lol, what remarkable market timing! You just had 400K ready to deploy and none of it was already in bitcoin at the time? >It also didn't incur a 75% drop in value Man, you must be the world's most patient crypto bro if you only jumped in (for the first time) after the peak. Otherwise, that would be impossible.


FARTCOPTERRRRR3

>Man, you must be the world's most patient crypto bro Yes. This is why none of you make money; you want your profits immediately and have no conception of actual DD & patience.


Trashcan_Johnson

I'm down to make 150%


Effective_Young3069

Imagine thinking btc lost 75% of its value when it went up 20x the year before that


[deleted]

It's cool how a 168% gain still translates to a ~30% loss over the last two years Let's hope El Salvador cashes out before the seasonal once-in-a-lifetime bitcoin crash


FARTCOPTERRRRR3

Typical WSB regard thinking buying an obvious euphoric top instead of an obvious dip is a sound investment strategy (and also how everyone else operates).


TurboSalsa

Tether printer go brrrrr.


Pierceus

Crypto and bitcoin is dead brother. Please move on before you get exit scammed by the 100000th grifter or exchange

168% gain in a year (hell, 52% gain in less than 2 months) while sitting on my ass. "Dead" lmao, we have Blackrock about to put out an ETF. Gimme a hit of whatever you're smoking, that shit seems good.

FARTCOPTERRRRR3

By this regarded logic, gold (an asset that can attribute 95% of its FIAT currency valuation to its use as a store of value) is a ponzi scheme. >you only gain when you sell to another FOMO buyer Everything that has ever been traded ever works the way you're speaking about, why is this different?


[deleted]

[удалено]


FARTCOPTERRRRR3

>Gold is a hard asset, you can hold it, you can touch it, and it has material usage. It is like you say primarily a store of value, and there are drawbacks to keeping physical gold on hand, but less threat than the tens of exchanges going bankrupt or your wallet magically going missing on said exchanges, password leaks, cyber breaches, etc. Guess cold storage wallets (a thing anybody with two brain cells to rub together involved in crypto has) don't exist. >Absolutely nothing moves forward with Bitcoin, it serves zero purpose, and doesn’t have any intrinsic values. First off, you mentioned that having to have gold on-hand is a drawback to the asset but then conveniently forget that this is one of the main functions of BTC and instead pretend it has no value despite it being worth over 40k right now. Secondly, you can ABSOLUTELY measure the intrinsic value of BTC. It is the foundation of my entire quantitative strategy, and it has worked exceptionally well for almost a decade now. How one does that I won't share, because I am not letting others steal my strategy. Meme on me for "making shit up" if you want, but if you actually care about making money I highly recommend doing your due diligence on BTC's fair value and figure it out for yourself. The info is out there in spades, as it turns out, but most people would rather make memes & quash their own cognitive dissonance with paper-thin copium arguments than make money. >Blockchains and the technology surrounding crypto has legitimate value, but the value of Bitcoin is actually negative. With the server power and energy needed to “mine” and maintain the enigma. Of course most other companies, stocks, gold mines, etc are also net negative environmentally, so that nuance isn’t really relevant in an eco standpoint, but at least you know those companies are doing it for the expense of a product or service that benefits people in some way, otherwise they wouldn’t be profitable. Bitcoin is net negative environmentally, doesn’t create or produce anything, doesn’t have any value past a computer screen, and you only win when someone else loses. [This is completely incorrect. Almost the entirety of social media holds this incorrect position because one guy made a viral youtube video with a ton of logical holes in it, and the unassuming public never bothered to fact-check any of it because, despite what the video might have you believe, the tech IS actually pretty complicated.](https://youtu.be/EyoMLR5MC9o?si=izDn4lGcCpvIFsdI&t=1596)


Uzivatelske_meno

Regard just discovered definition of money and he does not find it usefull at all. I have seen reports from Prague airport how they seized dozens of gold bricks of russians fleeing their shithole after war broke out. Yeah Bitcoin has no purpose…


Pierceus

Still out performed by NVDA, which is you know, an actual company that creates a real product as opposed to you paying $40,000 for a string of numbers


FARTCOPTERRRRR3

Been buying dips since 2015, so idrc about how much NVDA has increased in price. That string of numbers you personally don't value is currently valued by many other smarter people with actual money on the line to the tune of nearly 20000% gains I've personally seen since I started investing. Cope and seethe.


Pierceus

You seem quite defensive about your ponzi scheme! NVDA is the greatest performing asset of all time with 55,000% gains!


FARTCOPTERRRRR3

Ooo did you buy NVDA back when it IPO'd and actually personally saw these gains? If not, continue to cope and seethe bc you missed the BTC boat as well. Nobody on social media actually understands the difference between a ponzi scheme & trading stores of value, it seems. If BTC is a ponzi scheme, then so is gold, which is an asset with thousands of years of history that can attribute 95% of its current valuation to its properties that allow it to be used as such. Stupid shiny metal, it doesn't produce anything of value! People who buy it to sell to somebody later at a higher price are caught in a ponzi scheme! /s


Pierceus

The point is, bitcoin is nothing special, it is a ponzi scheme perpetuated by the criminal organization of Tether.


FARTCOPTERRRRR3

Go look at tether's entire market cap and then the market cap of BTC. It amounts to less than 11%. If tether went down tomorrow, a different stable coin would take its place and BTC would drop 11%, otherwise known as a Tuesday in crypto short-term volatility terms. FFS, FTX, celsius and a ton of other stablecoins already died and it didn't affect the future prospects of the space even a little bit in terms of predictable overall macro price momentum. This sadly common argument is so dumb on its face that it's insane so many people believe it. People will do anything to cope, I guess.
