We're already 6 months through 2021 .... or are you edging your bets by calling such a wide period, hoping we'll forget in a few weeks what you said? Trust me fella, we're bored on here with not much else to do, we'll remember this next year and call you out on it
It's now official: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-57398274
El Salvador has become the first country in the world to officially classify Bitcoin as legal currency.
Congress approved President Nayib Bukele's proposal to embrace the cryptocurrency, with 62 out of 84 possible votes on Tuesday night.
The president said the government had made history, and that the move would make it easier for Salvadoreans living abroad to send money home.
Bitcoin will become legal tender, alongside the US dollar, in 90 days.Comment

Now it's all about aping into degen farms without getting rugged. I believe the term for bag holding these days is having 'diamond hands' or being 'in it for the tech'.
But for us early adopters a bear market at these levels is still significant profit and if it goes sideways we can now stake for income while we wait for the next bull run."Is someone you don't like allowed to say something you don't like?

“Banks face tough new Bitcoin rules in crypto crackdown
Global proposals forcing lenders to set aside enough funds to fully cover losses could stop widescale adoption of the biggest cryptocurrency
The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, made up of regulators from the world's major financial centres, said the growth of cryptoassets "has the potential to raise financial stability concerns and increase risks faced by banks".
In a report published on Thursday, the Switzerland-based committee outlined potential risks for banks exposed to the industry including money laundering, terrorist financing, fraud and liquidity risk.
It suggested that the likes of Bitcoin be subject to the highest capital requirements as a result of the concerns. In practice it means that a $100 exposure to assets such as Bitcoin will come with a minimum capital requirement of $100. “

You could potentially love crypto in a few years but we all know that you'll stick to your inflationary fiat, so it will not matter.
In fact, I am quite happy that you (and your other flat-earther pal @whorty) didn't have anything to say about El Salvador adoption of BTC, because that just proves it - there is nothing to say, while a week ago you were all laughing that crypto will never be a currency, one week later, BOOM! Your face just melted!
Yes, ofc the IMF will have to spread some sh*t about El Salvador because how else will they be making any money? by lending fiat, it's their business model - duhhhhh.Comment
