@JayJuanGee. I am not quite certain why my reply caused you to get triggered. I was only speculating on what might occur based on how strike.me functions and how it might be deployed and used in El Salvador.
My reaction is not triggered. If you seem to be making pie in the sky speculation and also seem to be coming to quite strange and stretched conclusions that might even be lacking in factual or logical basis in a public thread, then it is likely good to attempt to address the extent to which your speculation might be grounded in reality or not or if the logic seems to be strong or not.
What was the pie in the sky speculation? It was based on how the strike.me application works. If El Salvadorians in America want to send dollars back to El Salvador through strike.me, strike.me converts the dollars into bitcoin then converts it into USDT to send to the receiver.
It is not pie in the sky. It is how strike.me works.
You seem to be changing the topic.
Largely you were saying that if El Salvador goes forward with this bitcoin as legal tender matter, the powers that be in the financial system (such as the USA Govt, IMF and perhaps some other status quo traditional banking stakeholders) were going to be motivated to take out the leader Bukele, and therefore you were suggesting that Bukele should be toning down his pushing forward of the bitcoin legal tender law because he was going to be made an example out of to cause pain end suffering in order that other countries do not model after him.
In other words, I was describing your views about the political ramifications of this to be "pie in the sky." So far, we have not been discussing how strike.me works or other ways that bitcoin is likely to be expanded into El Salvador.. so I am not sure why you are wanting to suggest that we had any kind of dispute about that when I was largely just characterizing your speculations about various political reactions as being quite detached from what is either more likely going to happen or even that your going on and on about such seemingly nonsense seems to be distracting at best rather than attempting to grapple with real likely matters that are going to be happening.
At least if you are trying to talk about how strike.me might work or how it might be used or how much it might be used, that seems to be a much more relevant topic and even potentially helpful - to consider how easily/difficult adoption might happen or if there might be some disincentives or problems in terms of strike.me being able to continue to function/serve in its current way of doing so.
Also, there were some comments in social media that were saying strike.me might remove tether and USDT for usage in El Salvador and strike.me will send the dollars straight to users’ bank accounts through banking partnerships. This might also be a problem because 70% of the population is unbanked. There was also no roadmap from strike.me on how to implement this.
I had heard some similar things about strike.me moving over to have less dependencies on USDT in comparison to what they had originally thought and also that strike.me was in the process of attempting to create relations with banks and other exchange services that are already existing in El Salvador that would help from moving away from so much reliance on USDT as they had earlier anticipated would be the case, and even Jack Maller talked about this on his interview with Peter McCormick on the Podcast "What Bitcoin Did" a few days ago.
Furthermore, I hardly understand why you are wanting to suggest that attempts to expand strike.me services is going to result in doom and gloom. Yes, a large number of unbanked is an issue that is attempting to be addressed so that those people can use the various strike.me services and would not automatically signify that they even have to get a bank account, as you seem to be presuming without any evidence and largely a seeming motive to turn any news to negative news, even if what you are saying makes damned close to zero sense... but that close to zero sense is not going to stop you from spewing it out, is it?
It's true? Right now I can buy products with my Ownr crypto card at any mart in El Salvador?
Do I want you to tell us more Katie? Do you know anything?
Are you living in El Salvador?
Probably I erroneously sent you an smerit too soon because I thought that you might have actually known something..., Whoops.
Does anyone know anything on the ground in terms of services that are using bitcoin in various ways, such as on bitcoin beach or expansion into other parts of the country? I imagine that some of those matters will be going active before September and surely there is going to be a process of rolling out capabilities.. as DooMAD's above post seems to suggest.
