Despite the prices of Bitcoin plunging to new lows, El Salvador’s president Nayib Bukele seems to be unfazed by the ongoing bearish sentiment prevalent in the market. Bukele tweeted another Bitcoin purchase earlier today, adding that he has bought the Bitcoin dip, nearly 80 BTC for $19,000 each.
Nayib Bukele Buys The Dip.
Earlier today, Bukele took to Twitter to upload an image outlining his Bitcoin purchases with a caption stating “Bitcoin is the future. Thank you for selling cheap.”
Bukele is known to be an ardent supporter of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency mechanisms and had previously declared Bitcoin a legal tender in his country in 2021. Since then, Bukele has been very determined in his stance to accumulate Bitcoin and add it to the country’s treasury.
Bukele had last purchased the dip in May when the prices of Bitcoin were hovering over $30,000. Per the reports, he had then purchased nearly 500 BTC at an average price of $30,744 each.
Despite the current market crash that has affected the prices of all major cryptocurrencies, several Twitter users had expressed mixed opinions on Bukele’s recent Bitcoin purchase. Some users came forward to laud Bukele’s efforts and his unshakable trust in Bitcoin
While others were quick to address Bukele’s decision as stupid and arrogant.
Mucha arrogancia Nayib, eso el mercado lo castiga. A la larga o a la corta te pega.
Lo malo de todo esto es que estás siendo arrogante con la plata de los salvadoreños. Muy poco prudente incluso si te sale bien.
