President Erdogan and El Salvador President Bukele meet in Ankara: Is it Bitcoin?
Accepting Bitcoin as the official currency in September, El Salvador's President Bukele announced that he would come to Turkey with a tweet he sent yesterday. The program, which will start with a welcoming ceremony at 16.30, will end with dinner.
Bukele, who broke new ground in the world by accepting Bitcoin as the official currency, is seen as one of the biggest defenders of Bitcoin. Bukele buys large amounts of Bitcoin every time it falls and builds schools and hospitals with the profits it earns.
Although the Bukele government met with great protests in September, photos of many people who wanted to convert their fiat money from ATMs to Bitcoin were published in the past months.
Nayib Bukele follows Turkey's agenda
Greeting Turkey with a tweet in Turkish last night, the President of El Salvador referred to the slogan that was spoken a lot in Turkey for a while.
Referring to the slogan "First of all, greetings to the whole world from Zonguldak, the land of chestnut honey" , Bukele apparently follows Turkey's agenda closely.
President Erdoğan to meet with President of El Salvador Bukele
Bukele announced on Twitter that he would visit President Erdogan on Thursday. President Erdogan, on the other hand, responded to the tweet, expressing that he would be happy to host Bukele in Turkey.
Discussions are eagerly awaited.
It is currently being wondered whether the Turkish government, which has made a breakthrough in crypto money recently, will talk about crypto money with Bukele, the defender of Bitcoin.
The economic crisis in Turkey in November had drawn the attention of MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor. Saylor stated that the best way to fix this is Bitcoin and said that Bitcoin can revive the Turkish economy.
Shortly after that, AK Party Group Deputy Chairman Mustafa Elitaş called the leading names in the crypto money industry to the parliament to talk about the draft crypto money bill.
After the meeting, the leading names in the crypto money industry made a joint statement on the subject.
