Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele made yet another bullish Bitcoin (
$77,926.00 ) (BTC) prediction soon after the International Monetary Fund had urged his government to remove Bitcoin ( $77,926.00 ) ’s status as legal tender.
Bukele took to Twitter on Monday to predict that Bitcoin ( $77,926.00 ) will ultimately see a “gigantic price increase” due to its limited supply of only 21 million digital coins.
The president cited Bitcoin ( $77,926.00 ) ’s scarcity case, emphasizing there are “more than 50 million millionaires” in the world, and there is not enough Bitcoin ( $77,926.00 ) if each one of them wanted to own at least 1 BTC.
“No enough for even half of them. A gigantic price increase is just a matter of time,” Bukele wrote.
There are more than 50 million millionaires in the world.
Imagine when each one of them decides they should own at least ONE # Bitcoin ( $77,926.00 )
But there will ever be only 21 million # Bitcoin ( $77,926.00 )
No enough for even half of them.
A gigantic price increase is just a matter of time.

Bukele’s comments came shortly after the International Monetary Fund (IMF) had urged El Salvador to end its recognition of Bitcoin ( $77,926.00 ) as legal tender due to risks related to financial stability and consumer protection. The IMF’s report followed a sharp Bitcoin ( $77,926.00 ) price decline, with BTC losing about $10,000 of its value in a period from Jan. 20 to Jan. 25, according to data from CoinGecko.

The latest Bitcoin ( $77,926.00 ) crash caused major dollar-nominated losses to El Salvador’s Bitcoin ( $77,926.00 ) reserves. As previously reported by Cointelegraph, the Salvadoran government made its first 200-BTC purchase on Sept. 6, when BTC traded around $52,000. The government then bought 420 BTC on Oct. 27 when Bitcoin ( $77,926.00 ) ’s market price was above $58,000. El Salvador also later bought some Bitcoin ( $77,926.00 ) at around $54,000 in November and more BTC at $49,000 in mid-December.
At the time of writing, BTC is trading at $37,159, down about 45% from its historical highs of above $68,000 recorded on Nov. 9.
