The president cited the case of bitcoin scarcity, asserting that there are more than 50 million millionaires in the world, and there isn't enough bitcoin if they each want to own 1 bitcoin online. least.

It's not enough for even half of them, Bukele wrote. So the massive price increase is just a matter of time.
