My theory behind this is there are many BTC holders with cap gains (or assets acquired through illegal methods) that can't easily cash out, and El Salvador's BTC support was a grab at capturing tourist revenue through state sponsored money laundering.

Through that lens, it would be interesting to see if there was any anomaly in GDP, luxury goods sold, real estate sales, or tourism in the country.
