Yes, there are countries that do consider it. With those countries mentioned above, and still, some of them are still rumors. We don't know yet the actual plans if they're into it. We'll just know it until it's already been pushed and already made a law for being a legal tender. So aside from those countries given above, I think Mexico is also part of the list.

I can see why people might conclude it's going to be some sort of "domino effect", where because El Salvador have done it, that the next countries in line are now inevitable. But it's worth considering if the political and economic situation there might be somewhat atypical. It's probably fair to say El Salvador was quite unique in that the move to adopt Bitcoin was spearheaded by their president. In most other countries, it's been a lower-ranked politician pushing for it and they naturally have a much more challenging fight on their hands to enact change.
It's certainly possible a few more nations might join the club, but I honestly don't think there will be too many in the near future. The recent hype around Malaysia and Honduras seems to have been misplaced.

Russia is still one of the countries to put in consideration although no official statement yet was made on the adoption but reports shows that Russia is looking for crypto (Bitcoin) to byepass sanction, and of which with all indications the only available means to that is in making bitcoin a legal tender. Also many countries make make the moves and pass the bill but none is set to approve it while we have some other countries as well going against bitcoin placing a ban.

As long as no official announcement, all the plan is just a plan and nothing more. Perhaps if the president is really support Bitcoin, it will have higher chance to be accepted as legal tender. However Bitcoin doesn't really need to be accepted as legal tender, at least it shouldn't be banned. So anyone free to use Bitcoin whatever they want and government wouldn't stop them to use it.
Even it's been accepted as legal tender, there's a chance the country might to stop accept Bitcoin as legal tender. You can't predict government, the same way how China and India repeat to ban and accept Bitcoin.

Maybe not legal tender in a sense of fully making Bitcoin equally accepted with local fiat, but Ukraine does intend (long-term) to adopt Bitcoin as a form of payment and make it possible to use it to pay for groceries and stuff. It was discussed in 2021 here. Another country which wasn't mentioned in the thread yet is Japan. While Bitcoin is NOT legal tender there, it IS, it seems, allowed to be accepted as a means of payment, and has been so for many years. So if it's about legal tender, El Salvador is exceptional. If it's about allowing Bitcoin to be accepted as a means of payment, some are doing it and some more intend to do that.

Currently full of rumours and plan announcements, though El Salvador doesn't have a predecessor for the latest bitcoin-adopted country yet. With that said, I really wouldn't be surprised if we don't have another legalization this year.

I personally think that for now there is no country that wants to accept bitcoin as a legal tender, no country has followed El Salvador's steps, but rumors are circulating about many countries that want to legalize bitcoin and accept bitcoin as a legal currency, and can be a lot of legal tender, but they haven't implemented any policies, although there are rumors that Malaysia is willing to accept bitcoin as a legal currency, but I personally think the rumors about all of that are not true, because many of their citizens don't understand bitcoin.

as of now there are no such news that bitcoin become a legal tender again in order countries after El Salvador successfully implemented it on their country.. For me probably it's not that so easy to implement within the country since not all people are fans of decentralized currency , which is reason mostly countries choose to legalize it than to force it as a legal tender..

I think on the contrary, Russia is trying to find some solution to avert the economic collapse in the country and crypto is just a small one of them. Before the war, Russia proposed banning crypto-related activities such as using and mining crypto in their country. If the war ends and sanctions are lifted, I'm not sure if Russia will continue to use crypto. IMO, Russia is using crypto this is a must look like they are not sympathetic to crypto.

As a whole country, no, but if I'm not wrong Lugano, a city in Switzerland, should accept it soon. Regarding future countries from time to time I read some news about Paraguay and Uruguay, but we still a long way to go, I guess probably many countries are looking with interest El Salvador situation, if things go well they'll probably follow the same path. El Salvador is a bitcoin Guinea pig ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

So far the answer to that is no, but as it has been stated there are several countries considering doing something like that as they are evaluating how beneficial it would be for their countries to do a move like it. As you may guess most of the countries that are looking into bitcoin as a legal tender are on the small side or have specific circumstances unique to them that makes adopting bitcoin as a legal tender as a good option for them, but powerful countries like the US are not looking at this possibility as they think of bitcoin as a rival and as such they are just trying to regulate it as much as they can.

Nothing, but what's the point of you waiting for a legality decision while the government doesn't prohibit it (doesn't regulate it)? Take for example the recent news from the UAE, bitcoin is starting to be used by educational institutions. Maybe you also want to see some banks that are actually under government supervision accepting bitcoin.

The United Arab Emirates is one of the countries that want to be forefront all the time, and I heard they are going to license Binance too.

They can adopt but not on the sense on making it as a legal tender but rather would really be just staying as an optional but not as their main currency thats why we arent seeing next countries who would took the same step on what El Salvador had done but there are rumors circling around for some countries which might consider on the same thing too but all of them would stay up to be rumors until it would really be announced officially but for sure such decisions wont be something simple to commit on.

El Salvador will be an encouraging factor to others in the future, although nothing major has happened yet, there's been too little time that has passed since. So, really this question of whether countries will start making it legal tender in the future, I think really depends how much El Salvador benefits from it. If they don't, it could potentially have a negative effect on countries considering making it legal tender, which could potentially hurt Bitcoin adoption in the short to medium term. Nothing, but what's the point of you waiting for a legality decision while the government doesn't prohibit it (doesn't regulate it)? Take for example the recent news from the UAE, bitcoin is starting to be used by educational institutions. Maybe you also want to see some banks that are actually under government supervision accepting bitcoin. Well, countries making it legal tender, rather than banning it obviously benefits us. I think most users fears are that Bitcoin will be banned en mass, which despite some of the counter arguments would be overall pretty bad for Bitcoin. While they can't prevent its use technically, most users will be law abiding, and therefore wouldn't want to risk repercussions, which reduces the total users using Bitcoin. Do I think it will be banned on mass? No. Although, that doesn't mean they'll make it legal tender either.

Other than El Salvador, there is no country that accepts Bitcoin as a legal tender. There are many countries, though, which are reported to have already considered recognizing Bitcoin as a legal tender. How serious they are, I'm not sure. I have read that bills are already planned or proposed in countries like Panama and Paraguay and others. But plans don't mean anything. Until and unless a bill is actually filed before congress or the parliament, there's no reason to jump into conclusion that another country will definitely follow El Salvador's step soon.
