    4. TIME reporter Vera Bergengruen conducted one of the first interviews in three years with El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele. She suggested that the country's Bitcoin adoption might be more about image than actual economic reform.

    Nayib Bukele’s Global Presence

    Nayib Bukele, who previously worked as a publicist, gained international attention in 2021 when he announced plans to make Bitcoin legal tender in El Salvador. However, Vera Bergengruen's interview casts doubt on whether this move was genuinely aimed at addressing the nation's economic issues. According to her, Bukele's initiatives are focused on crafting a powerful public image.

    Bitcoin: A Tourism Attraction in El Salvador?

    The decision to make Bitcoin legal tender surprised both the crypto industry and the people of El Salvador. According to Bergengruen, Bukele's team had to quickly sell the benefits of Bitcoin adoption, especially regarding remittances from Salvadorans abroad. However, the initiative was chaotic from the start.

    Incomplete Initiative Implementation

    Despite announced plans like creating a 'Bitcoin City' powered by geothermal energy from volcanoes, the initiative remains incomplete more than three years later. Questions remain over whether this move will bring tangible benefits to the people of El Salvador or if it will stand as an alleged PR strategy.

    Bukele's term continues until 2029, but doubts about the real benefits of Bitcoin adoption persist. Many believe the initiative is more about image than actual economic reform.
