A popularidade do world’s largest cryptocurrency continua a atrair a atenção de pessoas de vários setores do mundo. Até a indústria da moda se inspirou na invenção de Satoshi Nakamoto e, como resultado, a atriz e modelo Alejandra Guajardo, que representou El Salvador na fase preliminar do Miss Universo 2022, recentemente atravessou o palco usando um vestido com Bitcoin (BTC) .
Em 12 de janeiro, Guajardo compartilhou no Instagram a picture of herself walking elegantly while carrying a giant colón, with one of the nation’s official tender until 2001, decorated to her back with cocoa beans. Interestingly, the beauty pageant contestant carried a staff topped with a huge physical Bitcoin in her right hand.
The announcer for the Miss Universe 2022 event, which includes competitors from 84 nations, revealed to the audience that Guajardo’s look represents El Salvador’s history of currency by adding:
“For a long time, cocoa was used, and then the colón, until it was replaced by the U.S. dollar. In 2021, El Salvador became the first country in the world to use Bitcoin as legal tender. You don’t need a sash to walk around dressed as cash.”
O renomado artista plástico Francisco Guerrero desenhou o naipe da moeda, com um Bitcoin físico na frente, possivelmente representando o futuro da moeda no país da América Central. Embora Guajardo tenha marcado o presidente Nayib Bukele em seu post, não está claro se ele ou seu governo tiveram algum papel na promoção da criptomoeda para um público global.
In September 2021, El Salvador became the first nation to formally recognize the largest cryptocurrency as legal tender, alongside the U.S. dollar. Since then, the nation has acquired thousands of BTC for its treasury under the leadership of pro-bitcoin president Nayib Bukele. Bukele, who frequently reports the country’s BTC purchases on Twitter, stated in November 2022 that his nation will comprar bitcoin todos os dias.
El Salvador’s Miss Universe contestant walked across the stage in New Orleans soon after the country’s legislature aprovou um projeto de lei criando uma estrutura para a emissão de títulos Volcano backed by bitcoin. Legislators who support cryptocurrency in the nation suggested using such bonds to reduce the nation’s debt as well as pay for the development of highly anticipated and volcano-powered Bitcoin City. The bill was passed on January 11 with 62 votes in favor and 16 votes against and will become law when passed by the President.
According to leading crypto exchange Bitfinex, which is also a technology provider for El Salvador’s Volcano token, “this new digital asset regulatory framework paves the way for its much anticipated Volcano token issuance.”
Além disso, de acordo com um relatório anterior da Bitnation, a Austrália recentemente ultrapassou El Salvador para se tornar o quarto maior hub cripto ATM no mundo, apesar de este último ser uma das nações mais amigas do Bitcoin em todo o mundo.
