Nayib Bukele is one of the big names in the field of crypto and its adoption. He is a Salvadoran politician, entrepreneur, and the president of El Salvador. He has a strong stance on Bitcoin and announced it as a legal tender in the country amid tussles with the IMF.

 

He introduced Bitcoin bonds and developed Bitcoin City, a tax-exempt, cryptocurrency-driven urban area. Even after the IMF restricts Bitcoin's adoption, Nayib backs the idea of making Bitcoin a legal tender and wants other nations to follow in his footsteps.
