A credible outlet and others have given credit to this news. El Salvador is one of the Central America countries that could be considered a failed state. Little rule of law, an immense number of gangs with thousands of members... The president is probably not the best economist out there, but he may be right in choosing bitcoin as legal tender and even right on the reasons to choose it. After all, having a currency only works if you can print a lot of it and preserves its value and nowadays those are only the USD, EUR, RNM and perhaps the sterling pound to a point. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-57373058The current legal tender, USD, is managed by the FED and ultimately by the US government and perhaps is justified to change that to a decentralised network that has less political motivations under certain perspective. These type of things are not what will change bitcoin world forever, these are small stuff that will not have too much impact on crypto, Venezuela type of places having the same issues were basically the same thing, they wanted to use crypto and I said the same thing there as well, these are not the instant impact stuff. However what these do is that if it really helps el salvador and they actually use it in a way that will help the nation, then other small nations having financial problems will see this and they may want to test it as well, and in return you could have 10-20 nations like these who all use bitcoin as legal tender because it helps the nation a lot. That is what matters here in crypto world, the future, because we are not thinking about just today, we also think about 10 years from now, and whatever helps bitcoin in long term also helps us as well.

It is interesting that El Salvador has made this determination, honestly the president of El Salvador has always been a very reasonable person and worthy of doing great things. In 2020 the pandemic was just beginning, it was the only country to lock itself up on time, and there was not a single infected, now if with this measure the country opens up in economic matters, since it will be the pioneer country in the adoption of BITCOIN, it is something that many countries do not have the decision and determination to do, this can bring much more volume to the market, a wise decision for this country.
Now as it says in the article, it is necessary to wait for the congress to only give the go-ahead and they can prepare for a large number of movements through Bitcoin, this can give a great pump to Bitcoin, it will undoubtedly be an engine to boost the economy and will have a great tool for them to cope with inflation.

Yesterday the bitcoin law was passed at El Salvador making it the first country to proclaim bitcoin as a legal tender, this is a step on the right direction and it is a sign of things to come, it is going to be interesting what happens during the next years, if El Salvador remains as the only country to declare bitcoin as a legal tender then there is a chance that a great deal of businesses related to cryptocurrencies decide to move to El Salvador bringing a lot of money to their economy. https://www.cnbc.com/2021/06/09/el-salvador-proposes-law-to-make-bitcoin-legal-tender.html

Now that they accept it their country got the spot light and this is a great boast not only with their financial system but in tourism also since I believe rich Bitcoin holder will possibly visit the Bitcoin friendly country.

So hopefully in the future the country will be more developed

Whether this was done for political interest or not should not be the point, what people should consider is the fact that this news has put btc in the spotlight once again in the period where some undesirable fudders were being unprofessional, El salvasor is a small country which many probably don't know about but this single announcement has brought attention towards them and increases the awareness about this small country, I say one step at a time, this is better than those countries banning btc all the time for selfish interest.

El Salvador doesn't have a national currency and that is how they could implement this policy with such easiness. Before 2001, Salvadoran Colon was the national currency, but then they decided to go for Dollarization. For all practical purposes, USD became the national currency from that date. If another currency becomes the legal tender, the competition is for US Dollar and it doesn't directly affect the government or the economy of El Salvador. In most of the other countries, that is not the case and they have their own national currencies.

Being a legal tender means that they are recognized as a way to pay transactions so I fully support this move by the government of El Salvador, although I am waiting on what's going to be the catch though.

It's an interesting news that El Salvador is trying to make bitcoin as a legal tender in their country. However, what's the catch though? I hope it won't be taxed as much.
It's nice to read that amongst all the countries trying to avoid accepting bitcoin, there's a country willing to try to make it as one alternative for paying debt. Bitcoin can help them gather future investors which can result to slowly improved economy that can help their citizens.
I hope before they proceed to implementation of making bitcoin as a legal tender, they would educate their constituents about btc first. It's going to be a big leap for their country, but I hope it will turn out great in the long run.

It's an interesting news that El Salvador is trying to make bitcoin as a legal tender in their country. However, what's the catch though? I hope it won't be taxed as much.
There do not seem to be any special taxes in El Salvador that comes from the passage of that law, at least so far. Of course, while implementing there likely are going to need to be monitoring of revenues and business and even to see if the El Salvador economy might be benefiting or being burdened by their decision to go in the bitcoin as legal tender direction. Of course, any infrastructure changes cost money, so whether the government has to pay or if there are private companies paying or maybe some combination of shared funding would surely be implementation concerns for any seemingly BIG change like this. You might need to research into this matter if you believe that extra tax burdens on citizens would be an issue.. because my off the cuff understanding is that there are no extra taxes and probably normie folks would be advantaged by some of the clarity that has been provided with the bill, but surely some businesses are going to have some burdens in learning how to accept bitcoin payments, so there may well be some learning involved (including making sure that they have some kind of way to accept payment - some technology involved, probably). It's nice to read that amongst all the countries trying to avoid accepting bitcoin, there's a country willing to try to make it as one alternative for paying debt. Bitcoin can help them gather future investors which can result to slowly improved economy that can help their citizens.
Seems like their decision to pass such a bill and the governments stated commitment to invest in some infrastructure in the direction of facilitating bitcoin usage has a lot of potential to help citizens overall, especially in the remittance department, and likely in other transactional and/or providing abilities to save areas as well. I hope before they proceed to implementation of making bitcoin as a legal tender, they would educate their constituents about btc first. It's going to be a big leap for their country, but I hope it will turn out great in the long run.
Apparently they already had bitcoin beach going on for a couple of years, so I am not sure why they need to conduct some kind of education campaign prior to implementing the law. In other words, why cannot they implement the law and educate citizens at the same time? Sure, some people take longer than others to learn, but bitcoin has been around for 12 years and it's an evolving space anyhow, so seems to be no reason NOT to go down the "why not both?" approach to the matter, no? ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2Fs4eamxv.jpeg&t=665&c=sewecA-LoOozAg)

1) Self-Custody is a right. There is no such thing 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 is indeed a history in the making where the government is making Bitcoin a legal tender, while most of the countries worldwide are classifying it as a security along with the other altcoins. It’s not easy for other countries to follow suit, as they are not ready to fully accept Bitcoin as legal tender in open arms.
Is not all the countries that will adopt the policy using cryptocurrency generally or Bitcoin in particular as a legal tender immediately, from my observation i notice that it's a something that will take place with a gradual process, and it can only come in existence when the caliber of people living in the same geographical environment or area, massively notice the important of Bitcoin. Because this scenario is trying to let us know that using Bitcoin as a legal tender, it's obvious that any of their financial transaction should be carried out through cryptocurrency, which might be Bitcoin or altcoins.

Anyway what the government of El Salvador is doing by legalizing bitcoin as a means of payment is a good thing, I hope that with something like this, other countries will also make that decision. because if that happens it is certainly good for the development of cryptocurrencies

They are the first country to do so and make Bitcoin legal tender which means you can use it like fiat and every service provider have to accept btc from the customers.The small nation where many users have mobile phones btc is best suited decentalized currency for them and hold them in their wallets.The memes have also iniated with this like one of the meme was that El Salvador is now having most valuable currency globally worth $35k at this time.So this was one of the main step in bitcoin adoption which can be support to El Salvador also.

They made history as they become the first nation to have bitcoin legalized and they are even promoting foreign people who are crypto enthusiast to go to their country and get a free citizenship. This will be huge step up for bitcoin specially if in case it works out well for their country. If ever they successfully got help from bitcoin to improve their economy, other countries will surely do the same thing and it will give off a chain reaction until crypto finally dominates the whole world. Still there will be a lot of adjustments before that happens yet there's a possibility we will see it in the future.

should there be an example of success for a country that has adopted BTC? Isn't there already a Venezuelan country that several years ago experienced severe inflation that made the country's economy crumble? but it is the people themselves who are trying to find a solution by switching to cryptocurrency digital currency. in fact if there is research on it then there will be bright hope for BTC in the future.

I have a high respect now to El Salvador for recognizing Bitcoin as a legal tender and this law offers a lot of opportunities to those who are with cryptocurrency and planning to have their own business in El Salvador. Yes, there will be a lot of adjustments on implementing this law but this is a step closer to achieve the mass adoption. We can expect now other countries to make Bitcoin legal instead of banning it, this is indeed a good news to the whole crypto market.

And they did what they said. It's a good news. At least now they can boast that they were the first country to make bitcoin a legal tender when bitcoin actually goes mainstream. I have also heard that other countries in Central America will also eventually follow this step. It's a good start to be honest. Though I must admit, they will face some complications and its going to take them some time to understand and integrate bitcoin into the mainstream businesses. I am also curious to know how will they be tracking everything. I mean, if a company starts paying in bitcoin, how will the government track them.

From what I have heard, there are 11 countries apart from the United States that use the US Dollar as the national currency. They are - Ecuador, El Salvador, Zimbabwe, Guam, USVI, Timor-Leste, American Samoa, Northern Mariana Islands, Micronesia, Palau and Marshall Islands. Out of these, 4 are dependent US territories (Guam, USVI, Am.Samoa and N. Mariana). Another three are heavily dependent on the US for balancing their budget (Micronesia, Palau and Marshall Islands). That leaves a total of 4 countries where there is a chance of Bitcoin being declared as the legal tender in the near term - Ecuador, El Salvador, Zimbabwe and Timor Leste. Now that El Salvador has taken this step, the other three would at least consider it.
