We should also keep in mind that El Salvador didn't lose anything. 1BTC is still 1BTC. I know the problem may be another, but still, I think it's too soon to tell that the Bitcoin bet was a fail. There is still much to work on and a lot to evolve, embrace, etc. The more we see fiat going down, jus tlike what is happening in the Netherlands and in China, I think it will call for the people's attention regarding alternatives. People are desperated and usually humans adapt. I still hope the best is yet to come but also that the worse is also yet to come!
