Common problem for people is they over look on the situation, they think that Bitcoin is like a hero that can solve everything they imagine. But the adoption made by El Salvador and other countries won't provably erase its reliant to fiat. Because they provably will continue to use the traditional system and will make Bitcoin as their alternative.
Maybe that’s because Bitcoin was actually not created to completely eradicate the traditional fiat monetary system but to kind of aid it. It was mainly created to give users total sovereignty over their own money and not to rely on any third party entities. So thinking that Bitcoin adoption would solve every economic problem would be a totally wrong assumption because no matter how innovative and useful Bitcoin is or how useless fiat may look, people will still depend on fiat to an extent.

I think El Salvador has considered all of this. The current problem is that the government does not provide access. Unlike fiat, which they can control. The world has recognized and accepted it as a means of payment. Unlike if Bitcoin conditions were accepted in the world, I think there would be many transactions using Bitcoin. If Bitcoin adoption is accepted, then I am sure many people will use it, although most will still likely continue using fiat.

Self-Custody is a right. Say no to "non-custodial"

I quoted your post for visibility, and I also reduced your image sizes a wee bit.

I agree that those kinds of messages are nice to see, and El Salvador reiterates some level of commitment to the idea of bitcoin and El Salvador's desire to be considered as a promoter of bitcoin.

1) Self-Custody is a right.  Resist being labelled as: "non-custodial" or "un-hosted."  2) ESG, KYC & AML are attack-vectors on Bitcoin to be avoided or minimized.  3) How much alt (shit)coin diversification is necessary? if you are into Bitcoin, then 0%......if you cannot control your gambling, then perhaps limit your alt(shit)coin exposure to less than 10% of your bitcoin size...Put BTC here: bc1q49wt0ddnj07wzzp6z7affw9ven7fztyhevqu9k

This image is located at the airport in El Salvador, it is so visible and will attract the audience. Because tourists from different countries who arrive in El Salvador will be able to see this visible image of Bitcoin at the beginning and will be more attracted. As a result, Bitcoin will be known to tourists from different countries and there are enough Bitcoin ATMs at the airport to make transactions.
So the more different businessmen and tourists enter Salvador and tourist places, the more attracted it will be. And the whole country of Salvador can be traveled by Bitcoin, using Bitcoin is the best for traveling to El Salvador.

Indeed El Salvador is truly a promoter of bitcoin because this is not the first time El Salvador spreading information about bitcoin and this will not going to be the last bitcoin information they will spread last, when you have a good leaders in a country these are some of the developments you will be seeing around the government sectors, where it will be easy for everybody to know what is happening in the country, there is no visitors that will see this bitcoin design in the El Salvador airport he or she will not praise their government because is an advantage for those who don't have funds at the moment to book a flight but they have bitcoin in their wallet which such situation will not stop them in the airport because bitcoin is allow for passengers to use to book a flight.

For SBI Crypto, El Salvador represents more than just an investment destination. "It's a country that's investing in new technologies, education, Bitcoin, and artificial intelligence. That makes it a natural partner for companies like ours," [Nick] Vitalis concluded."

What I take away from this monument is the promotion of Bitcoin. Their branding is really serious, and they are very smart in choosing locations to display the Bitcoin Icon. Airports are quite effective public places because many people are bound to pass through. This is part of El Salvador's effort to continue attracting crypto investors and tourists. It seems that the Bukele government is very serious about continuing its commitment to trust in Bitcoin. I hope this branding is successful and effective for the advancement of Bitcoin in El Salvador and globally. Hopefully, more and more people will become interested in Bitcoin.

Yes I saw this tweet that they have added a Bitcoin monument to the airport to welcome travelers and the history of their Bitcoin purchases that they started a program to buy one Bitcoin per day is mentioned there I believe they want to let the whole world know through their exhibition that they have Bitcoin and they store it very safely. Right now it seems that they have issued Bitcoin Country Passport.

El Salvador's great plan, which is slowly starting to succeed, is currently an image at the airport that will definitely attract tourists. Those who do not know much about Bitcoin will definitely be interested in it and will know about it if they see it. Moreover, if all the tourists and foreigners who are going to travel there know about Bitcoin, they will be able to easily transact through Bitcoin. If there are Bitcoin ATMs in travel spots, it will be more convenient for tourists and they will be able to complete transactions through Bitcoin very easily. It is already seen that payments are made through Bitcoin in various places in El Salvador, especially in hotels, restaurants and various shopping malls, transactions are made through Bitcoin. So there are better plans in the future. The government of El Salvador is trying to improve its country more with Bitcoin and it will be financially prosperous.

El Salvador has created a stir around the world, because to my knowledge I have not seen Bitcoin on any country's passport, but the Bitcoin logo is given on the passport of El Salvador. It is really interesting and has gained more fame around the world. The President of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, wants to decorate his country with Bitcoin and in order to implement this, he will create the use of Bitcoin from the grassroots to the high level.
So El Salvador has gained more fame that when a tourist from any country comes, he can get acquainted with Bitcoin at the airport and see the Bitcoin logo in front of his eyes.

And maybe El Salvador are getting tired of the fiat system, which always devalue most time. So showing interest in Bitcoin is the best move for small country like this, because this will protect their savings from devaluation, and opens new opportunities. It is a good way to break free from  constant inflation and they can actually plan for the better future of their country without relying on traditional banks. What I wish to happen is if USA can make Bitcoin too as legal tender , from there other countries will want to follow their step. But it doesn't look like it's going to happen anytime soon.
You’re not wrong. It’s normal to seek for an alternative when your currency is always losing value and easily manipulated. Bitcoin on the other hand give people a better way to store their value, drastically reduce dependency on the global banking system and eliminate currency devaluation and manipulation, but the truth remains that they still can’t completely do without the normal fiat system, especially for traders who don’t really need currency volatility and short term fluctuation. Inasmuch as bitcoin adoption may not really offer a perfect solution to a country’s monetary system/problems, it sure can offer more control and save the economy from constant inflation.

Common problem for people is they over look on the situation, they think that Bitcoin is like a hero that can solve everything they imagine. But the adoption made by El Salvador and other countries won't provably erase its reliant to fiat. Because they provably will continue to use the traditional system and will make Bitcoin as their alternative.

But one good thing will happen is they are slowly shifting away to any centralized manipulation. Even if they are just partially done this things still El Salvador is winning because they earn lots of benefits not only with profits but also with other great things happened when they adopt Bitcoin.
I feel like a time will come when the fiat will have less reliance than it does now but that will be at a time when the bitcoin in itself is not as volatile as it is, when bitcoin is more stable and has gain more acceptance everywhere. When there are lots of people using it and having it deposited on their Accounts but not now. For now those countries that have adopted it might not actually enjoy it significantly now but by the time bitcoin will become more mainstream and solid, they will have an edge over counties that are yet to adopt the reality of digital currencies like bitcoin.

not sure about the timeline but exciting stuff either way. btw anyone else get that feeling like this is just the start?

could be wrong but feels like a big shift. anyway im just here for the ride.
