Mark my words, the USA will ramp up pressure on El Salvador over the coming years

The USA will ramp up pressure on El Salvador because of their adoption of Bitcoin. I guess it would be perfect for the US to hold them up and say "look what happens if you adopt Bitcoin as legal tender" and take no responsibility for causing it. I just hope other countries follow and adoption is quicker than the US government's ability to destabilise El Salvador.</p> <p>Edit: this post went up to 15 upvotes, then in 5 minutes shot down to 6 upvotes... is this just some downvoting guy with sock puppet accounts attacking me?</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/the_investigator-"> /u/the_investigator- </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/ptuvbq/mark_my_words_the_usa_will_ramp_up_pressure_on_el/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/ptuvbq/mark_my_words_the_usa_will_ramp_up_pressure_on_el/">[comments]</a></span>Kind Regards R
