So #EV sales are hitting records right now. That's good.

But as I keep having to warn, prepare yourself for a barrage of hysterical, catastrophic headlines after EV sales fall in Q4. You may see "EV sales crater" or "Buyers walk away from pricey EVs" or "The EV boom has ended."

Don't believe 'em.

In all, about $200 million in El Salvadorian tax dollars were earmarked for the gamble — 2.7 percent of the government's total annual budget, according to Time. The government's hype wasn't just typical crypto bro babble; so much was riding on it that it had to work. Then, reality hit. The immediate results were devastating. Bitcoin's price almost instantly crashed by about 20 percent. BitGo's servers struggled to keep up with the flood of new users, even as the government's official crypto app failed to show up on platforms like Apple and Huawei. Protestors took to the streets, surrounding the Supreme Court, where they were met by heavily armed riot police. Since then, the country has experienced increased inflation, upsized national debt, and a huge increase in poverty. As of early March, 2025, less than 2 percent of the nation's citizens have adopted the much-hyped financial tech. With little market incentive to seek a legitimate living, El Salvador's crime woes persisted, prompting a brutal crackdown by Bukele which saw the county's prison population balloon by 205 percent from 2021 to 2024. For many El Salvadorians, the rise of crypto and the escalation of state violence went hand in hand. And despite requiring all El Salvadorian businesses to accept Bitcoin as tender, Bukele's crypto gamble has largely failed to court many of the international players he hoped would pump his country full of virtual cash. One video from 2022 might help explain why. It shows a crypto enthusiast at a self-serve beer kiosk struggling to pay for his pint with Bitcoin. "I don't have my invoice ready," he says as he waves his phone around the kiosk to no avail.

From The Encyclopedia of Alternative Facts Frankenstein was the monster’s name.   There’s no such thing as climate change.   A solero is a type of hat.   The planet is not round but flat.      Six is the legal drinking age.   Women get paid an equal wage.   Elvis once sang in Take That.   The planet is not round but flat.      Achilles had a dodgy knee.   Terror comes from refugees.   Insomnia affects most cats.   The planet is not round but flat.      The president’s above the law. Russia did not start the war. It’s impossible to change a fact.   The planet is not round but flat.   Brian Bilston
