Thousands of internet users will come together to buy $ 30 worth of bitcoin in support of El Salvador
A large number of users of social networks such as Twitter and Reddit are coming together to buy $ 30 in bitcoin this Tuesday, September 7, the day the cryptocurrency will become legal tender in El Salvador.
On that date, all citizens of El Salvador will have the option of receiving $ 30 free in bitcoin through a digital wallet created by the government. It is the first country in the world to do so.
As a way to celebrate, internet users want to buy the same amount of dollars in bitcoin from other parts of the world, to help the value of the cryptocurrency rise and the initial money destined for Salvadorans to increase.

The idea was born in the Reddit forum, where an anonymous user asked if there were more people interested in supporting El Salvador, for being the first country in the world to provide legal trust to bitcoin.
His idea is that the group to which he belongs, with more than 3 million members, can individually buy 30 dollars in bitcoin, generating income of more than 90 million dollars to the liquidity of the cryptocurrency, allowing the value of bitcoin ( currently at $ 51,000 per unit ) increases.
The post quickly went viral, reaching big investors like Michael Saylor, who has millions of dollars in bitcoin with his company MicroStrategy. “Are you joining us?”
The arrival of bitcoin in El Salvador is not mandatory for its citizens. The granted voucher may be withdrawn from any authorized ATM in the country.
