El Salvador’s President Says On Twitter “Please Don’t Spread Reauter’s BTC Bond FUD”
Nayib Bukele – the president of El Salvador – moved to Twitter account thereof on Wednesday, shattering a report from Reuters that asserts that CZ (Changpeng Zhao) – the CEO of Binance – was headed towards El Salvador to save its Bitcoin Bond. Bukele noted in his Twitter post to his 3.6M followers that they should not disseminate the FUD of Reuters, criticizing the assertion that CZ was taking a flight to El Salvador to help following the bond offering of $1B, that was initially planned for March’s mid, was delayed till September.
Salvadoran president was reacting to a tweet on Bitcoin Magazine-based news which has presently been eliminated. Bukele added that he was a fan of the respective magazine and the news being published by them is false as the release of BTC-based Volcano Bonds will be carried out in association with Bitfinex. While further elaborating the reason behind the postponement of the release, he mentioned that they were firstly dealing with the internal pension enhancement which would have to be sent to congress before the issuance.
