The screenshot Bukele posted in his tweet see here is from this website: https://nayibtracker.com/
That website now has this message and has corrected its charts
Due to an error, some reported purchases were counted twice which resulted in incorrect totals. This has been fixed (12/4/2023).
So the politician referenced a website making best guesses based on HIS TWEETS instead of referencing his own data from his own accounting, and that website has now made adjustments due to incorrect counting.
Guys....this is ridiculous. Bukele has charisma, but charisma is almost an opposing characteristic of trustworthiness. Please don't forget, he's still a politician only trying to make himself look good.
Good point. I'm actually happy to see that there is some independent proof that he bought ANY bitcoin.
Yeah, when did this 1 BTC per day start and end?
We don't know with certainty. The website (https://nayibtracker.com/) is charting based on tweets. That particular one is this tweet: https://nitter.net/nayibbukele/status/1593113857261965312
I really like when more people are seeing clearly...

Ah, you are fact-checking news that tickle your bias? We don't do that here, sorry.
I fact check news that I want to be true so I don't look like an idiot later when I use it as evidence for an argument.
We are not the same lmao
Well done. It seems you would do a better job than most presidents.
Finding someone who knows how to not double count isn't so easy, let me tell ya
This is not what we meant when we said "Double entry accounting" dammit
Whatever happened to don't trust verify? As if it's so hard to prove on-chain your funds, which are public funds, which are the funds of the taxpayer, Lol this gives me heavy CSW vibes, I'll sign for you in private yeah sure buddy
The comments on that thread wow, microwave brains and grifters all foaming at the mouth, a lot of people are tethering themselves to this "project" and boy could this be a major egg-on-face moment
I'm kinda confused.
I can't see a reference or link from his feed to suggest he's based his announcement on that site.
Do his figures and the figures on the site both match - is that what indicates he's relying on an external source, and not his own figures?
Also, if the site has since made a correction - could this imply that ES still might be in the red - or just not so buoyant?
It does all seem pretty incompetent though.
He linked a literal screenshot of the chart from that website in his tweet.
Ah, I turned off images a few days ago to save data. Maybe I should switch again as I'm back on WiFi...
THIS
wait..
Doesnt he state he is in black instead of green,
What have i missed?
"In the black" and "in the green" mean the same thing. "In the red" only means the inverse.
https://www.investopedia.com/terms/b/black.asp
as i understand,
Black - close to break even with low taxes to pay
green - gaining money and being taxed for it..
Clearly, being on black mean you can turn to red quicker than if you are on green
Okay, I'd like a source on that interpretation, but okay. They weren't in the black either by the definition you have presented.
This is on the same page you commented
The word "green" doesn't even show on the investopedia page I linked, and especially no distinction is made between being in the green vs in the black like you have asserted.
i probably messed up.. Its not on investopedia...
You get this from other sites, but those are not very solid references.
let me try to find the reference..
i probably got it from other page and messed up.. let me look into my recent pages.

Since Bukele announced the changed of Policy to buy 1 BTC a day, they are in Green for Sure.
Who the fuck cares
The El Salvador narrative should be about country adoption of Bitcoin as a currency. It’s the first country to declare it legal tender. Who cares if Bukele bought the dip. How does that help drive adaptation in his country? What about the volcano bonds? The small business owners getting ~100% of sales not losing 3% on credit card fees or losing money with the inflation of the US dollar. How has it made his citizens better?
Let’s be clear the other country that declared Bitcoin as legal tender was the Central African Republic and that failed big time and they have removed it.
We don’t need Bitcoin to be recognized as legal tender for it to be successful, BUT it helps. It helps to speed up adoption and spread the word that we are for real! We have a movement and can’t be stopped. First they laugh at us, then they fight us!
It doesn't even matter. Why does the whole world get excited by someone's mere $100M non-investment?
He's also latino and that's how things roll around here 8-))
Now we get to see if he takes his own advice and will update this post with this new info.
Lol it might as well have been a screenshot from his personal coinbase acct. Terrible.
Ridiculous.
