As we can see other countries are already doing it and others are only partially making bitcoins as one of their choices of investment in their countries. Nevertheless, their results was pretty good because non of those countries are experiencing economic falls after they make bitcoins as choices for their people to invest their money with.

So far, El Salvador has good economic reports in several media. But I don't know in detail, the real problem. One of the reports is an increase in revenue through the tourism sector. Bukele as president mentioned that the main support of tourism is Bitcoin, in addition to promotion, surfing and crime reduction. Even tourism minister Morena Valdez, stated the tourism industry has increased by 30 percent since adopting bitcoin. If this condition is real, I feel happy, hopefully there will be many new countries that adopt Bitcoin as a means of payment.

So true. No country has fallen economically after adopting bitcoin either as a commodity asset or as a security asset. And in fact El Salvador seems to be enjoying some advantages in the tourism sector after they adopted bitcoin as legal tender in their country. So actually every country that is open with bitcoin and allows its citizens to invest in bitcoin will make the country have more income from the taxes that are collected by the country from the transactions of its citizens on the exchange. Well in my country in Indonesia have done it. And all went well. The government gets additional revenue from crypto taxes and citizens also feel happy because they are free to invest in crypto as a commodity asset.

Also, the amount of Bitcoin that El Salvador has bought is not a huge percentage of the country's GDP anyway.

I mean, MicroStrategy, a single company from the US has more Bitcoin than El Salvador...

It will be more risky i think. It could be possible but huge risky. Previously we saw bitcoin price increase speedily but some times it’s price also fall at large. Any country shouldn’t invest broadly in Bitcoin
Because i think many big crypto whales and many gambler involved in  Bitcoin. They are capable to creat impact on Bitcoin price. They are able to manipulate Bitcoin price. Recently we saw Elon Musk's company SpaceX sold his Bitcoin and Bitcoin price fall near about 8% instantly and for it’s impact still Bitcoin price dumping. So i think  is it possible to invest in bitcoin to build a country whose economy is down. But is is high risky.

The government does not need to directly invest in the Bitcoin market.  It can just make its country crypto-friendly and create Bitcoin-friendly regulations.  This will attract Bitcoin enthusiast companies to set their country as base operation and get profit from taxes and give jobs to their citizens which means more tax collection.  This way the country does not risk anything but still be able to profit from the Bitcoin economic activities.

Bitcoin itself cannot improve a country's economy but the government taking advantage of the opportunities the Bitcoin Industry brings can make its country get developed and level up its economy.

Of Course! Absolutely but for this, we should understand that bitcoin and crypto are best for making money and also this is the best for coming dollars in your country if we can't understand crypto so this is hard to up the economy this is the best way to make money from home and this is possible to invest in BTC to build a country whose economy is down. this is my prediction.

99% of all hacks are not really crypto but Exchanges, Wallets.
One coin sticks out though and that is ETH. Not positive though. In 2016 it led to a split.

Rekt News usually lists a lot of hacks, and some of them are based on the smart contracts of those alt chains.

Other times there is some social engineering going on.

But at the end of the day, Bitcoin is by far the most secure network to store value on the planet.

Of course, we certainly know that not all countries in the world are progressing, especially in the economic field.

I want to ask everyone, can adopting bitcoin help a country's economy? especially countries that are experiencing bankruptcy, for example, as experienced by our brothers in the country of Sri Lanka.

but if my think can! a country by adopting bitcoin will help its economy, as long as it is adopted on a large scale.
for example as follows:

: all people who can afford it are obliged to invest in bitcoin, but of course investing in bitcoin is only made as a side job. but of course investing in bitcoin must be in accordance with the capabilities of the community, because society of course consists of rich people and poor people, but in my opinion investment in bitcoin can be achieved by all people, because investing in bitcoin can start with small capital or large capital .

So in that way I think the people's economy will be helped, so in this way a country's economy can also be helped because the community invests in bitcoin.
and finally the government must provide lessons about bitcoin to its people, or add it as a new subject for students, and also provide special lessons for those who are not in school, namely so that people know the risks of investing in bitcoin,
etc.

what is my understanding like that, I ask for your opinion from all of you?

It can help the economy but only bitcoin cannot save the economy. It can be part of the overall structure. In many fields, adding bitcoin to payments can bring overall transparency. It is going to very profitable for corrupt countries as it can check the practice of corruption.

In some situations Bitcoin can be a very helpful adoption for a country and its economy but still a country which is already bankrupt won't be able to gain any economical advantage by adopting Bitcoin. Let's take the example of Sri Lanka, we all know that the economic condition of that country is in the worst levels possible and adopting to Bitcoin won't help it to become free from economic challenges.

Bitcoin can be helpful for the people of such countries only if they know that they are investing in an asset that is going to be higher in value and should be kept safely because Bitcoin can be hacked and someone who doesn't have proper knowledge about Bitcoin can lose a lot of money due to his/her lack of knowledge.

In a country some people who already have enough money can invest in Bitcoin to make their future life better, but if people who hardly earn a wage to support their families then they won't get better by adopting Bitcoin. Bitcoin is not for rich people only, but still rich people can make far more profits from it then the poor people. I still think that providing awareness about Bitcoin to a community can be very helpful for that community and many people in such countries can improve their lives by adopting Bitcoin.
Sri Lanka suffers difficulties, much like any other country with a struggling economy. To assert, however, that using Bitcoin has no benefits? That is merely ignorant. Bitcoin crosses national boundaries, conventional financial institutions, and systems that have consistently failed numerous nations.

Your claim on Bitcoin's hackability raises serious questions. The blockchain, which powers Bitcoin, is one of the most secure technologies in use right now. You've heard of the hackers? Instead than Bitcoin itself, they are exchanges and wallets, frequently as a result of human error. Before spreading untruths, educate yourself.

Lets also discuss how Bitcoin is making the affluent even richer. Bitcoin or fiat currency, money always creates more money. If you want to portray Bitcoin as some sort of elitist tool, keep in mind that its more about the system than the asset. Power is knowledge. And the general public may very well be able to use Bitcoin's power if they are informed about it.

Utilizing Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies as a strategy to revive a struggling economy is a multifaceted choice. Cryptocurrencies are recognized for their instability and inherent risks. Before proceeding, it's crucial to conduct comprehensive research and take into account economic, regulatory, and technological factors. Seeking guidance from financial professionals and economists is recommended in this situation.

It's possible and  beyond its economic implications, the adoption of bitcoin also holds the potential to foster international cooperation and collaboration. As countries navigate the complexities of cryptocurrency, exchanging knowledge and best practices can lead to shared growth and progress.

I believe that Bitcoin can solve many problems in this world economic but helping a corrupt government is not. It may help the people to have more option while their currency is plunging, but this alone won't have any significant effect if the government do not make any good macro economy policies. A country economic is far too complicated to be solved by Bitcoin alone.
The potential set out by Nayib Bukele in El Salvador may be widely implemented by other governments, but its nature must reach the same regulatory stage or there are other additions for overall perfection, so that the country's economic potential and other sectors can increase. I believe bitcoin can bring widespread financial freedom when government programs have to be implemented as implemented by El Salvador, the problem is that not all countries are able to see that potential and there is a lot of opposition in it when forced.

Therefore, when the country's globalization is unable to reach this stage, individually we can do it independently. At least adoption like this can bring us to the stage of financial independence even though the government has not fully supported bitcoin. It is impossible for to fully rely on the government when they have not been able to run it, so to find a solution for financial independence we must determine it ourselves.

I think the issues of Sri Lanka are centered around the politicians put into power.
Crypto could be much more successful with more education. The whales of Sri Lanka could open a few educational sites, i.e. that could help.

I think it's a complicated problem that you're trying to solve. A country's economy that's plumetting has a lot of contributing factors and I don't think that bitcoin will be the panacea for those problems, maybe it can help with the financial struggles of that country but if the people in power is corrupt to the bone then that financial injection to help the country's economy will just be pocketed by those corrupt pigs. If we want to really solve the problem in economy, we need to be active at participating in discussions regarding economy, if enough people complain on something, the politicians will be powerlessso they will yield to what the people want. If you're talking on an individual scale, you can definitely survive or live well if you use bitcoin even if you're economy is crumbling down.

Why not? Bitcoin investment is individual’s freedom so if there is passion and enough resources to invest, then go for it. But never expect that it will bring you immediate profits that you will use for the country’s economy recovery. However, if you continue to hold your bitcoin with indefinite time, maybe in the future you will reap a good harvest on it, and you can do everything you want for your profits. You can chose to reinvest again so you can help your country to progress, or diversify your investment into physical investments like gold or landed properties so that you can also contribute to the progress of your country’s economy.

As a citizen, if you want to contribute to help the development of the country, you will only have one thing to do, generate income and fully pay taxes to the government. And you invested in bitcoin, do you pay taxes or are you using it to evade taxes? What you are saying is personal gain, I don't see any benefit for your country's economy.

A country is in recession and to overcome that, the government needs to attract foreign investors, create jobs, people with stable income and pay taxes...By doing so will boost the economy of a country, do not rely on an investment in a volatile asset.

I thought you were going to talk about the government of a certain country making an investment in Bitcoin to make the economy better because the economy of a country is not in the hands of its citizens, they might have some influence in it but they can't make it good or bad, it's all about how the government governs the state and how they manage things, especially finances so that they keep getting more money from what they have instead of losing it.

Also, since Bitcoin is an unpredictable asset when it comes to its price, you never know what's going to happen tomorrow. What if a government invests $5 Billion in Bitcoin and the price drops 50% within a month, that will be devastating for them and their economy. So I don't really find it to be a viable solution for that problem.
Investing in bitcoin should be long term, not monthly. Only in this case, btc brings income. At least within one BTC-cycle, that is, approximately 4 years. This applies to both private investors, institutional investors, and entire countries.

Perhaps the high volatility of bitcoin and unpredictability (although btc is already quite predictable in the long term) makes countries wary of btc and not rush to invest. But if you act deliberately, for many years to come, and not for a month, as in your example, then this is not much more risky than investing in the economies of other countries (where there are not less risks, but even more).

A price drop of 50% will not have any negative effect on the country's economy, because no country will sell at such a discount, especially after investing in a month. I am sure that if some countries take such a step as buying bitcoin, then this financial asset will be frozen (will not be sold) for several years, at least.
