Just a few months ago, El Salvador became the world¡¯s first nation to officially adopt Bitcoin as a legal tender in September 2021.
We all have been witness to how rapidly the crypto world has been evolving day by day, with 2021 being no less than a historic year in itself.?
And now, the President of Central American Country El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, tweeted a few days back sharing his 6 predictions around Bitcoin for 2022.
Here¡¯s the tweet he shared.
According to the Salvadoran President, not only will Bitcoin price reach $100,000 per token mark this year, but it will also be adopted as legal tender by two more countries.
Further, he mentioned that the oldest cryptocurrency in the world, Bitcoin, will emerge as a major electoral issue in the US this year.

Even recently in December 2021, the governor of the Bank of England (BoE) Andrew Bailey expressed concerns towards the citizens of El Salvador, questioning if they were even aware of the risks they have exposed their finances to due to legalizing Bitcoin.
Despite these warnings and concerns, President Bukele has continued to remain a Bitcoin supporter.
In fact, just before 2021 wrapped up, he tweeted to predict the end of fiat currencies altogether in the near future owing to the increased popularity of Bitcoin.
As of now, no other country besides El Salvador has officially confirmed or hinted about considering the adoption of Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrencies as legal tender.
