Well this is the best time to buy Bitcoin and other coin because majority of them turn red now and am kind of sure it will increase in price. President of El Salvador is just trying to boost his country economy through crypto that all.

This is kind of not the best time to buy bitcoin because one of the reason bitcoin crashed recently was because the traditional market was doing bad, until the traditional market starts to look normal before i buy any bitcoin
