 El Salvador recently passed a new law that eliminates income taxes on foreign money coming into the country.
 This news was announced on X (formerly Twitter) by Nayib Bukele, the self-described ‘coolest dictator,’&nbsp; who has become a prominent player in the crypto ecosystem thanks to El Salvador declaring bitcoin a compulsory tender and investing public funds into bitcoin and bitcoin mining.
 This change follows a recent initiative that will allow <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="Bitcoin" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/bitcoin.html">Bitcoin</a> investors to purchase a visa and eventually become eligible for citizenship in <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="El Salvador" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/el-salvador.html">El Salvador</a>.&nbsp;

 Bukele is also known for his extensive ‘anti-gang’ crusade — an emergency decree was recently extended for the 24th time — and he has engaged in mass incarceration without due process. He has also been accused of a variety of human rights abuses.&nbsp;
 Bukele has asserted that he recently won re-election in El Salvador, despite a constitutional provision preventing him from being re-elected. The election was reportedly marred by serious issues, including mismarked ballots and a remarkably high turnout, but despite these problems, Bukele is set to remain as president of El Salvador.&nbsp;
 Fiscally, <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="El Salvador" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/el-salvador.html">El Salvador</a> has been struggling, defaulting last year on some pension debts. Many of the previously proposed remedies, such as the ‘Volcano <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="Bitcoin" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/bitcoin.html">Bitcoin</a>’ Bond, have been delayed, forgotten, or reimagined. <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="El Salvador" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/el-salvador.html">El Salvador</a> has been relying on debt buybacks as a way to try to assuage these fears.&nbsp;
