Bitcoin

Oath

<a href="https://www.britannica.com/biography/Nayib-Bukele" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="nofollow external noreferrer">Nayib Bukele</a>, El Salvador’s pro-Bitcoin president, has been inaugurated for a second five-year term following a decisive victory in February’s elections, stirring considerable excitement in the cryptocurrency community. 
His administration’s pioneering stance on Bitcoin has been particularly celebrated within the industry. 
Crypto commentator Cory Bates expressed his enthusiasm on social media, stating, “Bukele is Proof of Work— Cheers to 5 more years. 
“God bless El Salvador.” 
Meanwhile, crypto media figure Pete Rizzo reflected on Bukele’s tenure, noting, “Exactly 5 years ago today, Nayib Bukele took the Oath of Office, becoming President of El Salvador. 
Ever since, the country has been a world leader – a beacon of freedom, safety, and innovation. 
“The 1st Bitcoin President.” 
The inauguration was held on June 1 at the National Palace in San Salvador, where President Bukele discussed the significant reduction in crime during his previous term, emphasizing his administration’s aggressive approach to dismantling gang influence. 
“In two years we turned around a situation that had been unresolved for more than half a century, with more than 70,000 terrorists controlling the country, and who left more dead than the armed conflict,” Bukele declared. 
Bukele’s anti-crime initiatives garnered domestic support, but his international acclaim largely stemmed from his embrace of cryptocurrency.

In September 2021, El Salvador made history by becoming the first nation to recognize Bitcoin as legal tender, an announcement that initially met with skepticism among Salvadorans, as a Reuters poll in July 2021 suggested that over three-quarters of the population were doubtful of the move. 
In the February elections, Bukele’s New Ideas party achieved a significant win, securing 54 of the 60 legislative seats, which strengthened his ability to implement his policies. 
Although the official election results were pending, Bukele announced an early victory on February 5, claiming his party had won 58 seats. 
Further demonstrating the potential influence of Bukele’s policies, Argentina appears to be considering a similar path towards cryptocurrency integration. 
A recent report from May 27 indicated that Argentina’s National Securities Commission (CNV) met with El Salvador’s National Commission of Digital Assets (CNAD) to discuss the adoption and regulation of cryptocurrencies, signaling a possible regional shift towards embracing digital assets.
