Welcome to Bitcoin Beach

El Salvador’s millennial president Nayib Bukele is no tourist when it comes to Bitcoin. Last year, under his leadership, El Salvador became the first country in the world to approve Bitcoin as a form of legal tender. Since then, President Bukele has bought more than 2,000 Bitcoins using public funds. He doesn’t appear to be stressed by the market volatility, or by the drumbeat of international organizations like the IMF that have criticized his crypto decisions. He’s even created a so-called “Bitcoin beach” in the coastal town of El Zonte as a pilot project. In this episode, Bloomberg reporter Mike McDonald joins to talk more about the sustainability of El Salvador’s Bitcoin strategy.
