> What I'm I missing? One of the topics that hasn't been talked about here and is mentioned by the article is how the Salvadoran government detained one of El Salvador's most known developers for openly talking about bitcoin before the adoption. > loss is small relative to the country's balance sheet The bigger question is, in which of El Salvador's government institution's balance sheet are those bitcoin accounted for?

Never before in history we had had a local currency losing 50% of its value in months. For many, that sharp drop in value was a first time experience.
