The future is digital and there’s potential for Bitcoin to become the new “Gold Standard��, where fiat currencies were backed by a finite gold supply.

Be on the lookout for a global convention of DeFi proponents in El Salvador later this year.

[Digital Democrat @Digital_Dem]

On June 9th, El Salvador’s Congress approved making Bitcoin legal tender in the country. This groundbreaking law means that the country will hold $150 million in a trust fund through their development bank, which will be used to purchase bitcoin from citizens over time.
