Title: Bitcoin, Twitter, and the Decentralization of Everything
Post by: Jaya60 on June 13, 2021, 05:13:14 AM

The president of El Salvador spontaneously joined a Twitter chat on Thursday and spoke for an hour, a moment that truly captured the crypto zeitgeist. Unlike a traditional press conference, the room allowed ordinary people to engage Bukele directly, rather than filtered through the news media. The politician answered questions about the substance of the bill and described Bitcoin’s future in El Salvador, including the potential to tap the country’s volcanoes for zero-emission Bitcoin mining operations.source (https://decrypt.co/73411/bitcoin-twitter-el-salvador-bukele-spontaneous-chat)

The World Bank has rejected El Salvador's request for assistance in the transition of countries that accept Bitcoin (BTC) as legal tender, and El Salvador's decision to officially accept Bitcoin is the reason Bitcoin is not supported by the currency. It mentions environmental impact and transparency issues.
