El Salvador President Nayib Bukele Makes 6 Bitcoin Predictions For 2022: $100,000 Price Target, Sovereign Adoptions And More

BTC bull and President of El Salvador Nayib Bukele has six predictions for the apex crypto in 2022. Bukele announced his prognostications to his 3.2 million Twitter followers on Jan. 1.

El Salvador's Bitcoin Thrust: El Salvador has the distinction of being the first country to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender, alongside the U.S. dollar, on Sep. 7, 2021. At the time, Bukele reasoned the move would spur investment in the country and come in handy for 70% of its citizens, who don't have access to traditional financial services.

El Salvador has also been buying Bitcoin in regular intervals and holding it as a reserve. As of Dec. 21, the nation's Bitcoin reserve stood at 1,391 BTC.

In late November, Bukele announced at Bitcoin Week that the country will build a Bitcoin City, which will be funded by the issuance of a $1 billion Bitcoin Bond.

The International Monetary Fund, however, has warned El Salvador against using Bitcoin as legal tender due to risks associated with cryptocurrencies.

Bukele's Predictions: President Bukele's crystal-gazing has brought up six predictions for the most valued crypto.

1. Bitcoin At $100,000: Bukele expects Bitcoin to reach $100,000 in 2022. The apex currency is currently trading at around $47,000 following a roller-coaster year, when it gained about 60%. Bitcoin has to more than double in 2022 to hit Bukele's target.

2. More Bitcoin Adoption: Bukele expects two more countries to adopt Bitcoin aa legal tender in 2022. Reports suggest there is political support in Panama, Ukraine and Cuba for the adoption of Bitcoin.

3: Bitcoin Key Topic In U.S. Midterm Elections: The El Salvador President believes Bitcoin will become a major electoral issue in the U.S. midterm elections to be held on Nov. 8, 2022.

4. Bitcoin City Construction Kickstarts: Bukele expects construction of the Bitcoin City to commence in 2022.

5. Volcano Bond Subscription: El Salvador plans to finance the construction of its proposed Bitcoin City using funds raised by issuing a $1 billion volcano-powered Bitcoin bond. Bukele had earlier indicated that the bond will likely be issued in 2022. The President now predicts that the volcano bonds will be oversubscribed.

6. Huge Surprise At Bitcoin Conference: Bukele also prepared stakeholders for a huge surprise at the Bitcoin Conference. The conference, named "Bitcoin 2022" will be held in Miami, Florida between April 6 and 9. Bukele is scheduled to speak at the event.

At last check, Bitcoin was down 0.22% over the past 24 hours to $47,247.62.
