El Salvador has legal mandates for bitcoin adoption and a rapidly worsening civil liberties situation. Power has been centralized in Bukele during his tenure and many rights temporarily removed by a 3 year long state of emergency declaration.

Bhutan simply began mining and paying civil servants in Bitcoin (with significant raises) and helped set up payment acceptance in tourist zones. Civil rights in the country are improving with the current king giving away much of his power to a multi party elected officials.

Bhutan also holds more Bitcoin and has a higher green energy hashrate.

Yet El Salvador gets all the hype from Bitcoin influencers.

I'm suspicious some of you are more interested in simping for wanna be authoritarians than cheering real Bitcoin adoption.

The miracle of El Salvador 🇸🇻 is not the bitcoin adoption, it is the fact that El Salvador was the most dangerous country in the western hemisphere last decade and today it is the safest.

This could not have been achieved by democracy.

Bhutan had little problems. Not a miracle.

Bukele will need to step down next election or he risks being a Putin.

Europe/France/Romainia etc are more authoritarian because they are wolves dressed in sheep clothing. Maria La Penn, Colan Georgescu are tragedies that the ONE WORLD order forced and the global sheep and bleeding heart liberals accepted or cheered.

Many people are looking at the hole and not the donut 🍩. Try to think and understand you will see a different perspective.

There are injustices all over the world 🌎 but what is happening in Europe is far worse but harder to understand…

Bukele is issuing arrest warrants for reporters critical of him and his presidency.

Whataboutism doesn't change the problems in El Salvador and it doesn't change that self professed freedom loving Bitcoiners worship Bukele and not the leaders of those other countries.

So it’s acceptable to arrest Marie la Pen or Colan Georgescu?

The entire censorship that the deep state in the US did against conservatives for the last eight years seems to roll off your back .

Honestly, I called these things alligator tears.

What censorship? You have multiple 24 hour news networks fully under your control and control the presidency, congress, and the Senate.

An American conservative complaining about being censored is about as sympathetic as a diabetic toddler crying because they were denied a 15th candy bar.

I hate authoritarians of every stripe. You beg for your party to have 100% control. History is clear that you are an enemy of human life and happiness.

El Salvador used to have constitutional limits of a single 5 year term for president with a 10 year break before they could run for office a second time. Bukele challenged that law and had it overturned during his first term. He is now serving a second consecutive term in office even though that was illegal when he was first elected.

This is a bigger concern and everyone is missing it…. Reagan 1964 a time for choosing speach: what you are missing is scale and magnitude of oppression.

Ronald Reagan's 1964 speech "A Time for Choosing" "Not too long ago, two friends of mine were talking to a Cuban refugee, a businessman who had escaped from Castro, and in the midst of his story one of my friends turned to the other and said, 'We don't know how lucky we are.' And the Cuban stopped and said, 'How lucky you are? I had someplace to escape to.' And in that sentence he told us the entire story.

If we lose freedom here," Reagan continued, "there’s no place to escape to."

Like my previous post….

This is not significant. 150 years from now no one will care or know.

But things happening in Europe will be significant and people will talk about how it could have been stopped.

I think Europe is a big scary concern as it becomes Authoritarian and communists/globalist.

Fixation on freedom in one or 2 countries, especially countries that are already demonstrably not free at all, is a great way to make sure there is no where to run for the people in other countries where freedom fails.

samuel 7mo ago

Correct! I agree….

One world gov means there are no other countries.

E.G. there is nowhere to run.
