The Caribbean country of St.Kitts and Nevis held a conference on the use of Bitcoin Cash (BCH) as a legal tender for payment in their country in March 2023. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.kitco.com%2Fnews%2F2022-11-14%2Fimages%2FShutterstock_2138525503.jpg&t=665&c=1CBFXjGT4_QfTg) he Caribbean nation of St. Kitts and Nevis may declare Bitcoin Cash BCH legal tender by March 2023. Prime Minister Terrance Drew made that announcement while he spoke at the Bitcoin Cash 2022 conference in St. Kitts on Nov. 12.
St. Kitts and Nevis is a member of the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank and part of the ECCB’s DCash central bank digital currency (CBDC) program, which was launched in March 2019. “Our nation has always been a forward-thinking nation and a leader in exploring new technologies that can advance our people,” Drew said, but he added:
“I can confirm that we are prepared to explore that possibility with the guidance of experts and professionals and after consultation with our regional banking system. […] I welcome the opportunity to dialog further with a view to exploring future opportunities to engage in Bitcoin Cash mining and making Bitcoin Cash legal tender here in St. Kitts and Nevis by March 2023, once safeguards to our country and our people are guaranteed.” Bitcoin Cash was created from Bitcoin in a 2017 fork. The DCash program has had technical problems that have impeded adoption. Besides introducing new competition to DCash, the Caribbean nation may be eyeing its replacement. Sint Maarten Member of Parliament Rolando Brison spoke after Drew and expressed his support for Bitcoin Cash and his opposition to a CBDC.
Brison opposed CBDC as “too much of a danger to consider.” He said:
“I love the fact that in our jurisdiction, the central bank has at least been open enough to say and admit, ‘We don’t have the capability to monitor and engage and promote and safeguard something like this.’ […] If they can’t properly regulate the banking sector, […] why would I give them now a huge mandate to do something that they have no idea about? […] The legislator should be the one to have a say on what happens in regulation.” https://cointelegraph.com/news/caribbean-nation-st-kitts-nevis-may-adopt-bitcoin-cash-as-legal-tender-by-march-2023https://coinmarketcap.com/id/currencies/bitcoin-cash/Saint Kitts and Nevis is a country in the Leeward Islands, Caribbean. with a population of 53,546 people (data for 2021). You could say this is the smallest country in America. The government's decision of St. Kitts and Nevis to make BCH the legal tender for payments in the country would be bullish news for the future of Bitcoin. In my opinion, the more countries that legalize the use of Cryptocurrency as a transaction tool, the brighter the future of BTC will be.

On the contrary, governments legalizing shitcoins like BitcoinCash could impede adoption as citizens would associate failure if the currency to pick up to Bitcoin, which is the leading cryptocurrency. Altcoins and CBDCs alike are just distractions, which I don't believe has any significant, long lasting effect on the trajectory of Bitcoin, in terms of adoption and popularity.
If you consider the country which has adopted Bitcoin directly, it really has not had much of an effect on the market, and that's a good thing in my opinion; government's policies does not influence the market, it's actions of traders that do.

Not entirely annoying in my opinion, I mean so that everyone knows in advance how to use crypto as a means of direct payment such as buying food and clothes. This will return to the experience process where everyone will seek the best in their life experience, it could be that if BCH fails to meet the needs of the citizens of Saint Kitts and Nevis it will be very easy for the government to transfer it to BTC because people in general can already use crypto in payments. I think we also have to appreciate this because there are still very few countries that legalize cryptocurrencies as a means of transaction in their countries. Even though it's true that you don't think it will have a big impact on bitcoin at the moment, if the use of BCH isn't going well in that country, maybe you can find an alternative that is easier, safer, more comfortable in transactions. Ultimately Bitcoin will be the solution

I still think the idea of adopting crypto as a legal tender is a bit too early and erratic. It can plunge a whole nation into all sorts of problems. Also if the network or Blockchain is flawed, then the real danger materializes. Example is Bukele's experiment with Salvador with bitcoin

Why in the world will they legalize bch of all coins? arent they following the news or what? I guess this is one of the many surprises you see in crypto space. ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) I bet Craig will be thrilled to hear bch has achieved such a huge milestone ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) Well, I wish the government and people of Nevis great success with this new achievement, I hope it helps strengthen their economy. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) I still think the idea of adopting crypto as a legal tender is a bit too early and erratic.

Ave. Agreed this is terrible if true. Having a country of people involved in what easily could be a failed experiment is a terrible idea. Starting with bitcoin then fan pit from there not the other way around. This will end bad for those people

Not sure though why the government chooses BCH against BTC, perhaps they don't like BTC volatility, but the risk is higher for BCH.
I do agree that this could be a 50:50 for BTC and the rest of the altcoin market. It has a small population, but if majority will try to invest on BTC and other crypto, it could be a win win for us. Global adoption is another question though, it might take long and slow process for the world to see how BTC and others are going to benefit every government. On the other hand, CBDC has been growing as well in the last couple of years.

If they choose the wrong crypto as a legal tender then they're really going to be bound for failing. You're right, just as crypto, the adoption of crypto as a legal tender is still on its infancy but we'll never see the drawback of it if there are no countries that would try it. In El Salvador, the president believes on bitcoin and I guess this will be the same for other countries who have their own belief and favorite cryptos to adopt as a legal tender.

I don't see why BCH being accepted as legal tender in this small island country can affect the price of bitcoin positively in any way. They held a conference, and for all we know they already know the difference between BTC and BCH. Also, I don't think most of them will be using the said crypto in all of their transactions. They'd most probably still stick with their local currency or USD. Legalizing a crypto for payment purposes doesn't always equate to the nation upping their payments system overnight. Those are two completely different things.

These kind of small places don't have as much to lose. It's enough when someone wants to use anything resembling money in there that they can change to real money. Anything that could attract tourism and is a win-win for them. I mean the total population of these places are fraction of some small town.

I'm not sure how this would be a good news for Bitcoin. It looks more like they paid St. Kitts and Nevis bureaucrats to advertise themselves. I wonder what Roger Ver think about that. It might look positive in paper but I don't think it has any benefit for either Bitcoin Cash or whole crypto community in reality. It's not like people immediately start to use Bitcoin Cash there.

Trying all the ways to keep it on the top as a competitor to bitcoin as it failed to prove as the original bitcoin during the 2017 hardfork. Following this different countries will consider different cryptocurrencies as the legal tender which doesn't look like a healthy way of adoption.

The news about one kind of cryptocurrency is accepted as legal tender in two different places is a positive thing to me. It not only emphasize that cryptocurrency can be recognized as legal tender, it will also enable more investors to look at the cryptocurrency market. Of course BCH will have the most benefits from this news but somehow this will also have an effect to cryptocurrency industry. These kind of small places don't have as much to lose. It's enough when someone wants to use anything resembling money in there that they can change to real money. Anything that could attract tourism and is a win-win for them. I mean the total population of these places are fraction of some small town.
True, it is more beneficial to those places than BCH itself. Its adoption of BCH put their place into the radar of crypto community.

By reaching consensus from the miners bitcoin reached its position of being the original. At some point BCH was to steal the show. Now this move could've been a way to keep Bitcoin Cash good in real life usage. It is good that St. Kitts and Nevis have adopted cryptocurrency into their system. Whether it is bitcoin or something else is secondary. As said, over time the people will wake and move to adopt the real one.

The Caribbean country of St.Kitts and Nevis held a conference on the use of Bitcoin Cash (BCH) as a legal tender for payment in their country in March 2023.
Buy BTC now and HODL
LOL, there's no relation between BCH and BTC, actually the reason why BCH was created is to takeover BTC position! moreover the BCH's creator e.g. Roger Ver was trick many people in their site since they wrote a real Bitcoin is Bitcoin Core while he wrote BCH is Bitcoin. BCH is just a shitcoin that many newbie buy because the price is cheaper than Bitcoin and it's the biggest Bitcoin fork, actually it doesn't worth to invest since sooner or later Roger Ver will disappeared and run away with investors money.
