El Salvador’s Bitcoin Reserve Fails to Help the Average Citizen — NGO Exec


Bitcoin Reserve (BTC) in El Salvador has had a limited impact on the broader population, and the country’s loan agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) may increase the Bitcoin strategy, according to Quinin Erinman, general manager at the first Bitcoin, a non -governmental organization (GTO) that focuses on Bitcoin.

Erinman told Reuters that the abolition of the laws of Bitcoin’s legal bids under the International Monetary Fund agreement has established a vacuum in the public education initiatives in BTC or the state -led adoption initiatives. In a translator statement, he told The News Outlet:

“Since the government entered this contract with the International Monetary Fund, Bitcoin is no longer a legal tender, and we have not seen any other effort to educate people. It seems that the government continues to collect bitcoin, which is useful for the government – it’s not good directly to people.”

The Central American country also agreed not to purchase a new BTC under the agreement, the details that were confirmed in the recent International Monetary Fund report, which contradicts Bitcoin claims in El Salvador that the country is accumulating BTC Daily.

“It is faster than a credit card,” the Youth House employee, who accepts the bitcoin lightning batch, told the reporter.

Nevertheless, the lack of education was a hindrance to adoption on a large scale for Bitcoin in El Salvador, according to the correspondent, who had to show the youth of the Youth House how to accept a boost on the lightning network.
