El Salvador to Start Buying One Bitcoin Per Day: President
MOSCOW (Sputnik) - El Salvador, which has become the first country in the world to legalize bitcoin as legal tender, will resume buying one coin per day on November 18 after a months-long pause caused by a meltdown of the cryptocurrency market, Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele said on Thursday.
"We are buying one #Bitcoin every day starting tomorrow," Bukele wrote on Twitter.
