Right now, it seems like another new chapter is about to begin for students in El Salvador in terms of Bitcoin as we see that,Starting next Monday, it will be made mandatory for 7- to 8-year-old students in this country. I think it's very positive to introduce students to Bitcoin at such a young age and teach them the basics of Bitcoin, as a result of their progress, it can be assumed that these students could one day become big investors in Bitcoin or major Bitcoin developers.

The government of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, has made the right decision, if arrangements are made to acquire Bitcoin education from a young age, then everyone will learn about Bitcoin with interest. Because if the light of Bitcoin education is spread among the people from the initial stage, then it will be possible to reach Bitcoin education even in remote areas. However, I believe that the government of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, can spread the light of Bitcoin.

This view emphasizes an often overlooked aspect of financial technology adoption, namely long-term education. The El Salvador government's decision to introduce Bitcoin cannot be judged solely on short-term price fluctuations. Early childhood education serves to build financial and technological literacy, not simply encourage speculation. With proper understanding, people can see Bitcoin as a tool, not just a volatile asset. If Bitcoin education reaches remote areas, it has the potential to reduce the inequality of access to the traditional financial system, which has historically been exclusive. Nayib Bukele's leadership, despite its controversies, demonstrates the courage to take a structural, rather than a reactive, approach. The success of this strategy will not be seen in a year or two, but rather in a generation. Therefore, judging this move as the right decision means viewing Bitcoin as part of human capacity building, not simply as a short-term economic policy.

Certainly new chapter is about to begin for the students of El Salvador with Bitcoin and as you mentioned, the initiative they took to start on Monday, that is, the new year, was also necessary for them because we saw yesterday Peter Schiff criticize the Bitcoin laws of this country. I think he wanted to let everyone know through his criticism on social media that Bitcoin is not over-expanded in this country  because he wanted to pay with BTC after eating at a local restaurant but that local restaurant had no way to accept anything via Bitcoin. However in my opinion this country still has a lot of programs to implement to use Bitcoin in all areas, and they may be able to answer this Peter Schiff criticism.

Look who I ran into in El Salvador.  We grabbed dinner at a local restaurant. I asked the waitress if we could pay in Bitcoin and she said no.

If you are a Bitcoin investor, what you care about is Bitcoin and Bitcoin maximalist while you don't care about gold and gold maximalists like Peter Schiff. He has to shill gold that brings revenue and profit to his company while has to attack Bitcoin as most as possible because he is aware of high competitiveness of Bitcoin against gold by its attraction to investors.

It's interesting to watch a short video when Changpeng Zao from Binance challenged Peter Schiff on the stage in a blockchain conference that how Peter Schiff can verify a gold bar is valid or a fake one. Peter Schiff failed to do that on the stage and we know why, while with Bitcoin, it's verifiable easily.

Bitcoin vs Gold: Can You Verify Gold? CZ Challenges Peter Schiff with a Gold Bar

This video has been circulating for quite a while and I have already seen it. CZ really knows how to exploit gold's weaknesses, and that makes Bitcoin supporters quite satisfied. Although in detail, if Schiff understood Bitcoin, it does have weaknesses. But indeed, he does not understand it directly or well. I try to be realistic about these two subjects, and I believe that both have their strengths and weaknesses. But in a revolutionary sense, Bitcoin is the future, which is currently still in the process of assimilation because its nature is considered a weakness by countries if used as a reserve asset. IMO

This fight between Peter Schiff and supporters of Bitcoin shows how digital money is trying to take place of gold since Bitcoin is quicker, it can be broken into parts and much easier to prove as real.

Although one needs expensive tools and trained staff to find out that piece of gold is not fake, as we see when Schiff is unable to check gold bar on stage, any person can run simple computer to become cut down point in Bitcoin network, downloading and checking whole history of blockchain without need to trust middle man.
Bitcoin gives movable way of carrying billions of dollars in simple word list, unlike gold, which is heavy and difficult to carry across borders, and, also, has same wins of hard money but at much higher level of openness and safety.

Hey, look my argument is not about gold actually Peter Schiff went to El Salvador and wanted to pay for a meal at a local restaurant with Bitcoin, but we noticed that he couldn't do this simple task, that is, he couldn't pay with Bitcoin in the country that was the first to accept BTC reserves, which is why he started criticizing the Bitcoin pillar of this country, that is, the Bitcoin law. With this criticism, he wants to convey through social media that Bitcoin is not expanding in this country, but we know that El Salvador is very progressive in spreading Bitcoin. Anyway, watch this video by Jack Mallers on why Bitcoin is better than gold.

Jack Mallers gives the best argument ever for why Bitcoin is superior to gold against Peter Schiff.

Who even cares about the stage debates? The market voted with its wallet a long time ago. Schiff can talk about gold's history all he wants, but you can't beam a gold bar across the world in ten minutes for a few cents.

That's the bottom line for me. All this verification and portability talk is just intellectualizing a basic utility argument. People use Bitcoin because it works better for specific things, like moving value across borders.

Remittances to places like El Salvador are the real-world test.. The fact that a country is building its national brand around it tells you where the momentum is. It's not about convincing every gold bug; it's about providing a better tool for enough people that the network effect becomes unstoppable.
Arguing with them is a waste of energy- literally! That hash power could be securing transactions.

You can memorize your wealth and cross a border. anybody can try that with a gold bar all day long

Bitcoin was discovered (or invented, and so ultimately it is more sound money than gold).. so bitcoin does not need to "try" to take gold's place.

Value flows into the soundest of monies, even if it might take time to play out.

Although one needs expensive tools and trained staff to find out that piece of gold is not fake, as we see when Schiff is unable to check gold bar on stage, any person can run simple computer to become cut down point in Bitcoin network, downloading and checking whole history of blockchain without need to trust middle man.

bitcoin is verified every 10 minutes... and yeah, we could tick through each of the qualities of money, which should show us that bitcoin is somewhere in the ballpark of 1,000x better than gold - even though it could take 50-200 years or more for the market to more accurately reflect bitcoin's monetary properties as compared with the monetary properties of gold.

🇸🇻 EL SALVADOR NOW OFFERS 0% CAPITAL GAINS TAX ON BITCOIN AND CRYPTO

IT’S HAPPENING

Source Link: https://x.com/i/status/2021746196956500393

The government of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, has imposed a zero percent tax on Bitcoin capital. However, this is the best news for the country of El Salvador at the moment because this will attract more Bitcoin investors. New investors who were hesitant will invest in Bitcoin at the moment and hold it for a long time, due to the 0% tax, many investors will be able to hold Bitcoin, El Salvador will go further and they have taken sufficient steps to become self-sufficient in Bitcoin investment.

You just know when you see someone who is intentionally about what they want, empty talks won't get anything done so they've decided to not impose any tax on bitcoin capital, this will certainly attract even more bitcoin investors to the country now more than ever.
Most other countries will never follow this path because they want to generate as much revenue as they can from bitcoin but El Salvador will end up generating even more revenue by removing tax on bitcoin.

[Hello everyone!
I am new here and I recently started learning about Bitcoin and blockchain technology.
I am interested in understanding how people analyze projects and what makes a cryptocurrency trustworthy.
I hope to learn from the community and contribute in the future.

[tvbcof]

Here is a bit of good news:

A friend bought about $3k worth of house appliances recently.  The accounting staff never really has a good understanding of crypto before or after the dropping of legal tender.  The app they were using had 'chivo' which they defaulted to (over 'bitcoin', 'lightning' and something else.)  Seems that Chivo has their own standards for QR generation and it doesn't work with certain general self-custody wallets which use common standards.

My friend asked them about the 'bitcoin' option instead of 'chivo' option which he saw on their app.  The staff spent a bunch of time and made a bunch of calls to see if they could use 'bitcoin'.  Ultimately they were able to do it.

My friend says the store and staff's performance and level of effort in making Bitcoin work exceeds what he would have expected even when Bitcoin was 'legal tender' a year or two ago.

Kudo's to the store.  I would expect that performance would vary from outlet to outlet and time to time.  Just depends on what staff is on duty.  Anyway, I don't suppose it would do any harm to mention that it was 'Omnisport' in Multiplaza (San Salvador).

---

Again I should mention that the pressure on retail outlets to accept Bitcoin (or anything else) is not exactly related to 'legal tender'.  The outlet could refuse to exchange their merchandise for any currency they wish, including 'legal tender' because prior to a mutually agreeable transaction there is not yet a 'debt'.

On American currency it says "THIS NOTE IS LEGAL TENDER FOR ALL DEBTS, PUBLIC AND PRIVATE".  All this means is the courts will defend the payment of a debt IF legal tender is offered.  Taxes are a debt incurred without a particular exchange.  This debt springs into existence out of a mandate rather than a mutually agreeable exchange.

El Salvador was pretty clearly under significant pressure to drop Bitcoin as legal tender for taxes at the behest of the IMF and other forces animated by the USD world reserve currency goons.  My hope is that Bitcoin remains supported by the government and private operators within El Salvador.  As El Salvador escapes the grip of some of these forces by breaking away from dependence on the IMF, further assertions of sovereignty, and so on, I hope that they are willing and able to re-establish some of the policies that they very laudably fought for.  Of course I have no way to tell, but I do sense that it is also the hope of Bukele (and probably relatively few others.)

At the very least, if Bitcoin is in some use El Salvador will be miles ahead should the USD continue to become less desirable (further devaluation) or fail outright.

Simply put, if you want to learn about Bitcoin, you must look at El Salvador, from young children to adults, they are learning about Bitcoin, and using Bitcoin and holding Bitcoin for the long term in the future. As far as I know, Bitcoin is being used properly in the country of El Salvador because Bitcoin is being used in Salvador itself.

These kids are cleanly reading books related to Bitcoin Diploma or are studying other knowledge about Bitcoin in depth, there is no doubt about it, in fact, they are interested in learning about Bitcoin, as can be seen from their relaxed attitude. However, El Salvador has already completed the development of Bitcoin Diploma 2.0 in a new way to develop them. To my knowledge, this is a new version of their Bitcoin educational program and it has been described that their first printed copy of this book will be used in their country's education method. Simply put, kids who are absorbed in reading the books mentioned here will be admitted to their schools and i believe will spread the appropriate value of Bitcoin in the future.

It's good that Bekele is such an advanced president that he understands the value of educating children from an early age. I'd be interested to see exactly how this course is structured, what the teaching method is, and what it covers whether it focuses on operating principles or teaches children how to invest in Bitcoin. Although I think there should be separate lessons on financial literacy, so children understand how to save and start building capital.

[AmaGold70]

This news is indeed very impressive, Bitcoin is really gaining more and more adoption by countries and institutions and I believe as time goes on, some other countries will do thesame. What a great gesture to make bitcoin a legal tender, our traditional currency is succeptible to inflation and controlled by the federal government which most times affect economic growth and activities. As for Bitcoin, is an hedge against inflation and every individual is totally in custody of his or her own Bitcoin, this development is really a liberation to the citizens of El Salvador. However,  there are many other countries that uses Bitcoin, but have not fully endorsed bitcoin  as a legal tender, but with this recent development, other countries will see the need to endorse bitcoin as a legal tender.

[Dunamisx]

El-Salvador has always been setting new records for bitcoin transformation programs in the country and all these are done to help focus more on the people and how it adoption could benefit them at last, the government have been putting on various efforts to ensure that the people have the best standard through the effect of Bitcoin and other relevance achievements they accept to implement at the cause of time, they can't go less for now, because it has always been tremendous in seeing Bitcoin helping lives each day as long as it remains their alternative.

This is good reflection on how good the educational system they have.

Kids shows promising future especially that they have great leader that supports their educational needs.

In future this kids learning Bitcoin and other important aspects about it will became professional then have great careers in future. They have great chance to get more high pay rate jobs compare if they graduate on traditional courses.
