    The entire country of El Salvador just got a 4.6% raise.

    Posted: 09 Sep 2021 06:29 PM PDT

    Remittances account for 23% of El Salvador's economy. Bank fees on those transfers range from 12.5% (on larger transfers) to 30%+ on smaller transfers—let's call it 20% on average. Bitcoin eliminates those fees via the Chivo app ipso facto: a 4.6% pay raise for the entire country. Awesome.

    (This doesn't include the additional savings of not having to waste your day and bus fare and personal safety going to the bank to receive the transfer.) Data from: https://www.cnbc.com/2021/09/09/el-salvador-bitcoin-move-could-cost-western-union-400-million-a-year.html

    El Salvador's new bitcoin wallet allows for cross-border, virtually instantaneous, zero-fee transactions -- a game changer for a country where 70% of the population depends on money sent home from abroad to get by. @KenzieSigalos has more. https://cnb.cx/3E2jmwK

    These people *literally* control our money... Fed Presidents personally profit from the policies they enact, to the detriment of the American people. Now they’ll sell their positions while the market is up, and announce tapering shortly after… They should both resign. Bitcoin fixes this.

    Bitcoin is being attacked - The digital currency laws change and forcing individual financial institutions to change their rules

    Posted: 09 Sep 2021 03:20 PM PDT

    I live in Sweden and trade for a living. Near all national banks have limited or disabled wire transfers and credit/debit cards for Coinbase. Literally Bitcoin is under attack, I am intentionally doing my best to avoid sounding like a "conspiracy theorist". But....

    #1 The 400 billion drop. which was the most orchestrated sell-off I have ever seen in terms of Technical Analysis. Massive amount of shorts, options and funds were unloaded, as you all know.

    #2 Endless PR. About Bitcoin crashing the moment El Salvador announced it as their national currency. - https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/coinbase-bitcoin-and-other-cryptocurrency-stocks-plunge-as-options-traders-liquidate-2021- https://www.techspot.com/news/91147-bitcoin-down-10000-first-day-el-salvador-official.html - Countless more.The most upvoted reddit post regarding this: https://www.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/pkas7p/bitcoin_crashes_on_first_day_as_el_salvadors/ with the exact title of "Bitcoin crashes on first day as El Salvador's legal tender"

    #3 "Conclusion" - Bitcoin is being attacked virtually, financially and even psychologically.

    Here is an old article regarding alleged fraud and embezzlement - https://news.bitcoin.com/european-banks-facilitated-large-crypto-fiat-deals-probe-finds/

    EDIT: Big News update regarding Ukraine legislation and their parliament - https://cryptoslate.com/ukraine-adopts-draft-crypto-law-even-as-the-imf-sounds-alarms/:33% of BTC or more, is unavailable for trading and exchanges. Cold, dead, or lost:

    10Y gold price is the same

    Posted: 09 Sep 2021 09:06 PM PDT

    Hello everyone,

    I checked the 10Y gold price today and found out that it hasn't really moved anywhere since. I am wondering why gold an supposedly inflation hedge has not gone up in this inflationary environment. Bitcoin, like gold, has scarcity, but unlike gold, has more velocity and more dividable. Are the last two factors the key why bitcoin has massively outperformed gold as a store of value media? What do you folks think?

    El Salvador’s new bitcoin wallets could cost Western Union $400 million a year

    Posted: 09 Sep 2021 10:38 AM PDT

    https://www.cnbc.com/2021/09/09/el-salvador-bitcoin-move-could-cost-western-union-400-million-a-year.html

    In 2020, El Salvador received nearly $6 billion in remittances, which accounted for about 23% of its gross domestic product.President Nayib Bukele estimates that money services providers like Western Union and MoneyGram will lose $400 million a year in commissions for remittances, thanks to the country's bitcoin adoption.Some 70% of the Salvadoran population receives remittance payments.

    Jaime García really hates using Western Union to send money home to El Salvador.

    "In this day and age, it is wild that I had to go to a physical Western Union office, give them actual cash, and then hand them another $25 on top of that, before they would send my money over," García said.

    "And then, of course, it takes three days for it to actually arrive in El Salvador."

    García, who lives in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan, fled El Salvador when he was 11 after rebels bombed his house. His biggest issue with wiring cash abroad is less the inconvenience on his end and more about what happens to his loved ones receiving the money.

    "They have to take a bus to go to a physical location to pick it up, and there are gangs that hang out around those offices. They know what people are going there for, and they basically rob them," said García, who leads a team of researchers at SGI Canada Insurance.

    Since he last sent money home, García told CNBC, he now has the option to make an online payment via the Western Union app, but he still faces steep fees – 12.5% for a $100 transfer – and it doesn't solve the problem of what happens to those picking up the cash in El Salvador.

    Hasn't the DIP helped El Salvador to buy BTC?

    Posted: 09 Sep 2021 06:59 PM PDT

    Wondering if the BTC dip in the first day in El Salvador was a good or bad think. In one hand it scared investors but on the other hand helped people to aquire it in a lower price.

    What's your opinion?
