Despite holding the title of queen of cryptocurrencies, and despite her ability to persuade the President of El Salvador to adopt it as an official currency, it was rejected by the majority of the people.
Bitcoin, which will have an official instrument for approval in El Salvador at the end of this month, has been criticized and attacked, prompting merchants in the country's main handicraft market to protest against it and refuse to adopt it as an official currency, accusing officials of negligence. For not explaining its mechanisms of action or the benefits it may bring.
The unease about adopting bitcoin was not limited to the famous handicraft market, but also spread to many parts of the country of more than 6 million people.
The government of President Najib Bukele has ordered the installation of 200 ATMs in its digital wallet, which will allow cryptocurrency to be converted into dollars and withdrawn without commission.
The citizens of El Salvador believe that the main beneficiaries will be the wealthy and powerful and foreign investors. Will the government respond to the people's demands, or will Bitcoin win the battle this time as well?
