"As an Austrian economist, bestselling author and well-known Bitcoiner, Saifedean will be a great addition to President Bukele's Bitcoin team," said the office on Tuesday.
The Austrian economic theory is a direction of thinking that is committed to the fact that the state hardly or does not intervene in the economy and leaves the price of goods and services to the free market. This is in contrast to the “Keynesian” business school scheduled at most universities today, which campaigns for state interventions through monetary and fiscal policy to boost the economy.
in The Bitcoin standard Saifedean argues why the world would be better based on Austrian model. Therefore, he supports Bitcoin as an ideal currency for the world, since the legally required provision of 21 million units prevents governments from managing the economy and watering down the savings of its citizens.
collaboration with Bitcoin maximalists
The Bitcoin office is designed surveillance of all Bitcoin-related projects in El Salvador and coordination with other countries in connection with initiatives in connection with asset. It was also worked closely with the country's officials to develop guidelines for the crypto sector as a whole.
Ammous is widely considered "Bitcoin maximalist"-someone who is incredibly optimistic about Bitcoin, but most of the other cryptocurrencies either reject as unnecessary technology or as a complete fraud. Existing members of the agency-including former television moderators Max Keiser and Stacey Herbert-also fall into this camp.
The cryptopolitis El Salvador has already developed to reflect this view to a certain degree. Although the country was the first and only country that Bitcoin was introduced as a legal means of payment, a law require non-bitcoin assets must be approved by the national security supervisory authority.
