El Salvador, which became the first country in the world to recognize Bitcoin as legal tender, began buying cryptocurrency. The first transaction on the eve of the entry into force of the relevant law was announced by the President of the country Bukele.

“El Salvador has just bought his first 200 bitcoins. Our brokers will buy even more by the deadline,” he said.

As a sign of support for El Salvador, Twitter and Reddit users began buying bitcoins. They organized a promotion in which it is proposed to spend $30 to buy a small share of bitcoin. As a result, the price of the most popular cryptocurrency has gone up. By the morning of Tuesday, September 7, the cost of bitcoin exceeded 52 thousand dollars per coin.
