Bukele, as a person who is pro-Bitcoin, will do everything possible to introduce Bitcoin to the world. Using it as a transaction tool is Satoshi's dream. But if we dive deeper, we need better infrastructure. Remember, Bitcoin is very vulnerable when it comes to scalability issues. When it is used simultaneously, the network will experience long congestion, and this is a big problem. Actually, this is a very good new technology, but only a majority of countries use it for transactions. However, according to some media, El Salvador itself also does not yet have adequate infrastructure, so some of Bukele's programs do not all run well.
There are several things you mentioned that don’t reflect reality. Bitcoin processes 63%(*) of its transactions in under 10 minutes. Furthermore, the necessary infrastructure only requires a cell phone. The truth is, in El Salvador today, many people may not have a bank account, but they do have a cell phone.
In other words, both points you raised aren’t quite as you described them. In El Salvador, as in many other countries, this is largely a cultural issue. And while it’s clear there are gaps in basic understanding, people don’t need to fully understand the underlying technology—just like most people don’t know exactly how an ATM works; they simply insert their card and enter their PIN.
At the end of the day, it’s always a matter of “where there’s a will, there’s a way.” As long as there’s no genuine individual intention, adoption ultimately depends on the person, not on the external variables you mentioned.
