El Salvador apparently invested about $270 million in bitcoin since 2021 and that investment is worth about half a million bucks now. Oh my god, ha, what idiots!

... Okay just to clarify, you're saying they invested $270,000,000 and now it's worth about $500,000?

Is there a typo in your comment or something?

Yes, there was. Thank you.
