Vera Bergengruen, a journalist from Time magazine, stated that Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele's push for Bitcoin to become a legal tender was mainly for public relations purposes, rather than for substantial economic improvement. Bukele's advisor called the introduction of Bitcoin a "great rebranding" aimed at changing the perception of El Salvador by the outside world. Since the announcement of Bitcoin legalization in 2021, the policy has caused confusion, forcing the Bukele team to promote the potential benefits of Bitcoin. Bukele once proposed the establishment of a "Bitcoin City" powered by volcanoes, but the project has not yet been completed. He also regularly discusses using state funds to purchase Bitcoin, with approximately $400 million currently in the 'public wallet'. Bukele will continue to serve as president until 2029. @tfisabilillah
