He revealed his interest in the crypto space and assured the attendants that he will submit a bill to congress. If passed, this will make El Salvador the first sovereign nation to make Bitcoin legal tender.
In the short term, this will generate jobs and help provide financial inclusion to thousands outside the formal economy, and in the medium and long term we hope that this small decision can help us push humanity at least a tiny bit into the right direction.

The Tron community has reacted positively and rendered its full support as this is seen as a step in the right direction.

Concerns have been raised that El Salvador and Paraguay could face pressure from international bodies for their decisions. Interestingly, Bukele has admitted that there is ongoing pressure from international political bodies intended to force them to reverse their decision. He believes this signals a great benefit in the crypto space.
