Bukele has tightened state control over firearms. Why? Isn’t it the safest country in the Western Hemisphere?&#xA;&#xA;It&#39;s funny how Bukele managed something that is quite difficult...&#xA;&#xA;Saddam Hussein challenged the forces behind the U.S. dollar&#39;s dominance ➡️ he became the public enemy number 1 and got killed. &#xA;&#xA;Muammar Gaddafi challenged the forces behind the U.S. dollar&#39;s dominance ➡️ he became the public enemy number 1 and got killed. &#xA;&#xA;Nayib Bukele challenged the forces behind the U.S. dollar’s dominance ➡️ he became an international superstar and is now consulting political leaders on how to deal with criminality.&#xA;&#xA;I would hope that he would focus more on the peer-to-peer cash side of things, but he seems to be very focused on other things nowadays. This is what Bukele had to say about how countries should approach criminality:&#xA;&#xA;“There is no state that is unable to fight the criminals. If a state doesn&#39;t overcome crime, it&#39;s because it is complicit.”&#xA;&#xA;And this is what Bukele said about the same topic some time ago:&#xA;&#xA;“People finally understood that our country has moved from just eliminating violent crime, to a stage in which we&#39;ll eliminate all crimes. There is still petty theft. There is still contraband. There is corruption. There are scams. There is environmental contamination, done by individuals and companies.” &#xA;&#xA;“We are moving into a new stage in which our country must not just build the safest country; we are already the safest in the hemisphere.” &#xA;&#xA;Link: https://xcancel.com/nayibbukele/status/2057291840919921133#m &#xA;&#xA;And, of course, Bukele is integrating the tech giants into the daily life of Salvadoran people. He seems to be pretty excited about the health care possibilities that AI brings:&#xA;&#xA;“You have an AI agent reminding you and supporting you in your individual responsibility to stay disciplined and stick to your treatment.”  &#xA;&#xA;Link:  https://xcancel.com/nayibbukele/status/2044602205307551806#m&#xA;&#xA;Sounds promising... I hope he remembers to be careful with people’s right to privacy when he makes all these changes…&#xA;&#xA;Just a few years ago Bitcoiners were big fans of Ron Paul. &#xA;&#xA;&#34;Freedom is not defined by safety. Freedom is defined by the ability of citizens to live without government interference. Government cannot create a world without risks, nor would we really wish to live in such a fictional place. Only a totalitarian society would even claim absolute safety as a worthy ideal, because it would require total state control over its citizens&#39; lives. Liberty has meaning only if we still believe in it when terrible things happen and a false government security blanket beckons.&#34;&#xA;- Ron Paul&#xA;&#xA;This could not be any further from the “Bitcoin president” Bukele.&#xA;</html></oembed>
