    They didn’t buy it all at once. The price dropped between then and now and they were buying. Wikipedia has an entry on it.

    I’m not an expert on El Salvador’s bitcoin, I just know you all sound like a bunch of sore losers.

        I know you’d like to characterize it as dumb luck because that would make you feel better. The reality is that I’ve been making small monthly bitcoin purchases for the better part of a decade as a part of a much larger retirement fund.

        When the btc price hit $100k, I sold most of the initial investment so that now I’m just risking losing part of my gains.

        You can call it lucky and incredibly stupid. I can call it calculated risk.

        You’re all mad because you lost money investing in bitcoin when it was pumping and then selling during a crash. Don’t worry, it’s safe with me.
