Saifedean Ammous, the author of The Bitcoin Standard, has been appointed as the newest economic adviser to the National Bitcoin Office of El Salvador (ONBTC).
The news broke out on May 30 when ONBTC announced the joining of the Austrian economist as the team’s adviser for various economic policy related matters.
ONBTC tweeted, “When the author of the Bitcoin Standard met the leader of Bitcoin Country, great things were bound to happen” ending the post with “Welcome to the winning team, Dr Ammous!”
The National Bitcoin Office of El Salvador was formed in November 2022 by Bukele for managing all crypto-related affairs.
Director of the ONBTC, Stacy Herbert, said that Saifedean will be working as a remote adviser, “adding another voice and opinion to the advice that the President receives as Bitcoin Country continues to grow rapidly over the coming months and years.”
