• Trump and Bukele and bitcoin politics

Fernando Nikolic, founder of Perception, described U.S. President Donald Trump and Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele as taking advantage of the bitcoin community for their political interests. Nikolic said both leaders targeted bitcoiners, viewing the group as a devoted subculture they could use for votes and media attention. He also questioned whether what he called the "bitcoin immune system" had failed to recognize this and criticized the tendency to invent enemies and accept false friends.

Nikolic has recently commented on developments that affect broad access to financial services. He noted the abrupt closure of Paraguay’s biggest bank by customer count, which cut off nearly 3 million people from banking overnight, in a previous post. He also reported on Franklin Templeton’s launch of ETFs that allocate a portion of funds to bitcoin alongside U.S. stocks.
