'The dollar is no longer relevant; Bitcoin is the currency of the future,' argues President Nayib Bukele of El Salvador.
That's overstating and doesn't make much sense, if you follow a present term with a futuristic one. Bitcoin could be the future of the financial system, but a the moment it is not and the USD is the most relevant currency.
President Nayib Bukele is just looking for popularity with statements like these, trying to keep El Salvador on the news with their Bitcoin investment.
I do agree that people in crypto communtiy get over excited about bitcoin. Its popular no doubt but its still far from becoming a fundamental technology. There are still major portion of this world that are not using bitcoin. We still need USD for our daily living. I too have no idea why El Salvador is making such moves.
