🇳🇬 Nigeria banned #crypto in 2021. 🚫
But instead of stopping, Nigerians built a shadow stablecoin economy. 💸
Here’s how they quietly ditched the Naira using $USDt and what the world can learn from it. 👇

13) If the U.S. keeps accumulating $BTC, it could trigger a global shift.
Other nations, especially China and Russia, may race to stockpile Bitcoin to counter U.S. dominance.

12) The U.S. never needed to make a $BTC legal tender. It already controls global finance through the dollar.
80% of world trade runs on USD.
Even in crypto, USD-pegged stablecoins dominate the market.
$BTC is just another tool in the American arsenal.

10) Meanwhile, the U.S. took a different approach.
Biden and Gensler made crypto a nightmare for companies.
The SEC waged war on exchanges, lawsuits piled up, and regulatory clarity never came.
But in 2025, Trump flipped the script; the U.S. finally began embracing $BTC.

9) That IMF loan came with strings attached.
El Salvador had to make $BTC acceptance voluntary, cap its $BTC reserves, and reduce government involvement in crypto transactions.
But despite the restrictions, they never stopped buying—still adding 1 $BTC per day.

8) Despite the wins, El Salvador still faces major challenges.
The budget deficit persists, averaging -2.48% over the past decade.
Debt-to-GDP remains high at 87.7%, forcing the country to take a $1.4B IMF loan.
$BTC brought attention, but it didn’t fix the fundamentals.

7) But was it really because of $BTC?
While Bitcoin played a role, the bigger factor was Bukele’s crackdown on crime.
Gangs ruled El Salvador for decades until his iron-fisted policies jailed over 75,000 criminals. 👥

6) On the other side, since adopting $BTC:
- Crime has dropped 10x since 2019, making it safer than the U.S.
- Tourism tripled, with revenue soaring from $1.46B in 2021 to $3.85B in 2024.
- Bitcoin reserves generated $265M+ in profit.

5) Most Salvadorans immediately cashed out the $30 bonus and never used $BTC again.
Only 1% of remittances flowed through $BTC, failing to cut fees.
Hackers stole 5.1M IDs to claim bonuses.
Merchants struggled with volatility, making pricing unstable.

3) 24% of El Salvador’s GDP comes from remittances.
Banks and middlemen took up to 10% in fees, draining hundreds of millions from the economy.
Bukele’s bet? #Bitcoin would cut fees to near zero, keeping that money in Salvadoran hands.
But reality didn’t go as planned.

One nation went all in on $BTC.
Another, $36T in debt, just launched a Strategic $BTC Reserve.
Why did one take the risk while the other held back?
Here’s the story of El Salvador’s desperation and America’s calculated power play. 🧵👇

5) History repeats itself once more here too.
According to Jeremy Siegel's research in "Stocks for the Long Run," from 1968 to 2001, 79% of nearly 9,000 IPOs underperformed small-cap indices, with nearly half lagging by over 10% annually. 📃

4) What about IPOs? 🔍
Surely, they were a safe bet for success, right? No.
Between 2019 and 2024, only 200 of 2,030 IPOs outperformed the S&P 500.
That’s just a 9.85% success rate.

3) Were ICOs worth it? 🧐
For most, no. Out of 813 surviving tokens, only 282 beat #Bitcoin's returns.
We measured success by comparing each token's performance to $BTC from launch to Dec 6, 2024.
Of 1,707 ICOs, just 16.52% were successful.
