BITCOIN

Grenage

What you are talking about is price anchoring.  The price at which something was bought is irrelevant; base your decision to buy or sell on why you think the price will go up (or down).

I wonder if in 20+ years if Bitcoin is some completely unbelievable price and El Salvador has topped Luxemburg people will remember this...

I wonder how the US managed to get back the ransom paid in bitcoin from the bad guys?

Bad guys rented cloud server.   FBI got a subpoena and took control of it and recovered coins (hot wallet and keys stored on server. Doh). 
 
TLDR - no Bitcoin was not hacked by the FBI 🤣

Absolutely, this is why I have recently got involved (not at the best time I might add)

More small countries are now showing interest in following El Salvador's lead, when would it get to the point that larger richer countries would buy some (maybe secretly) to store "just in case"

2013, 2014, 2019 and 2021 are much the same.
El Salvador is ruled by gangs. Gangs that amongst other things have a nice drugs trade going on. A trade that would benefit from having a non-traceable currency. No great surprise that such a country would want to adopt bitcoin.

They already have untraceable cash USD, they dont need BTC to sell drugs
