You understand the currency of El Salvador is the us dollar?

If they are printing money I'd love to know how.

You keep talking about El Salvador but I am talking about the general problem with using deflationary currencies, especially when you cannot buy enough of the currency as a nation to compete with the rest of the world. Besides printing currency, nations can raise BTC by many other finite means.
