The Central American country of El Salvador decided to make Bitcoin its national currency in June. Cryptocurrency, whose current value at the time of writing of the news is 51 thousand dollars, will be preferred as a means of paying next to the dollar that the people of El Salvador are already using. President Nayib Bukele said in a statement on the subject that Bitcoin will bring investment, tourists, innovation and economic development to the country.
The expected day has arrived: Bitcoin has officially become the currency of El Salvador starting today. The government will not make the currency compulsory and will leave it entirely to choice. Citizens will be able to pay using the currency they want.
The Bitcoin era for El Salvador! What has changed?
The biggest step taken by the government to introduce Bitcoin into the lives of citizens was the cryptocurrency wallet Chivo. With the legalization of digital money, those who will use the wallet for the first time will be given Bitcoin worth $ 30 as a gift. Since Chivo is completely official and state-sponsored, it is expected that there will be no security concerns in the public eye. Citizens who want to can also use a different virtual wallet.
The people of El Salvador will be able to make all kinds of paying transactions using Bitcoin. President Nayib Bukele said recently that 50 Chivo points will be established in selected points of the country. Citizens will be able to make deposits and withdrawals from these points without commission.
