This was a persuasive piece from an economic standpoint. Bukele is a brilliant public relations operator. Since the article was published in Bitcoin Magazine, we are the obvious intended audience. I think he should have worked to address the concerns that our freedom loving, libertarian community may have. He invites us to visit to smell the fresh air and enjoy the freedom, yet he fired the Attorney General investigating corruption, and has expelled a journalist who spoke against him. He locks people up without trial and suppresses free speech. He put in his own judges to alter the constitution to run for a second term. He should address these issues with the bitcoin community
The inevitability of bitcoin is despite statist leaders, not because of them. State leaders can make it happen faster, just like centralized companies can, and that is appealing to one's high time preference. But the slow organic growth of bitcoin is what makes it strong and unstoppable.

I agree completely. Bukele won't make or break bitcoin. I do wish I could respect him more, though. George Washington refused to be a king or to remain in power. Satoshi disappeared and relinquished control. That's what gives bitcoin its strength. Bukele is doing the opposite.

The left must be silenced and expelled at any cost.
