Congratulations to Bitcoin. All it took was a fascist takeover.

I know what "fascist" means. "Authoritarian" might be a slightly better epithet for the current president Bukele. His party recently voted, in the assembly, to fire five supreme court judges who opposed Bukele.

He and his party were elected, however. It seems Salvadorans are getting sick of the neverending war between the MS-13 and Calle 18 gangs.
