Back then, we only had Bukele (president of El salvador) as the national leader that was actively and loudly pushing for crypto adaption. Then Trump followed and now we have so many candidates for presidency and already presidents pushing for bitcoin. I think that this is a testament to how much bitcoin has grown that not only your average citizens know and use bitcoin but also presidents. Bitcoin mass adaption might come a lot sooner than everyone initially thought.
Adoption is increasing and it will increase more because El Salvador also adopted it when BTC was breaking its boundaries and setting some new ATH, the same way all these countries are accepting it but what they don't understand is that the timing is wrong, if they will invest that $884 billion which is a massive amount and the amount that relates to pension which obviously be paid to the Pensioner.
If that amount is invested now at the wrong time, those pensioner will suffer the most therefore this is a wrong step although I am surprised to see they have such a huge amount of money for their pensioners but they should not invest all or some part of that money into BTC even if that's in favor of us because if BTC drops which it will those pensioners will suffer the most.
