There had been a rising movement on the internet community calling for individuals to buy Bitcoin. This is to support El Salvador’s plan to adopt Bitcoin currency as a legal tender. Users on various platforms like Reddit and Twitter are deliberating on purchasing Bitcoin worth $30 en masse.
They scheduled the buying on September 7th to mark the enforcement of El Salvador’s Bitcoin law. The potential price pump was coordinated and echoed the former online campaigns. It targets meme stocks such as GameStop Corp.
Bitcoin is a decentralized cryptocurrency or virtual money without a central bank or single administrator. It has a native BTC token, and you can send it from user to user on the peer-to-peer bitcoin network.

They intend to convert their traditional currency worth $30 into BTC on Tuesday, September 7th. This is to commemorate the intention of El Salvador’s law to make the debasement-proof, open-source, decentralized currency legal.
