El Salvador has been surpassing its peers in Latam regarding bitcoin and cryptocurrency adoption since 2021 when President Nayib Bukele pushed and approved the so-called bitcoin law, making the original cryptocurrency legal tender in the country. However, adoption, as many reports from several sources have disclosed, has not been growing steadily.
Despite this, Bukele has not abandoned its bitcoin drive, and has been investing to make Salvadorans understand the relevance of bitcoin in today’s geopolitical and economic situation. At several levels, the Salvadoran state has introduced bitcoin operational and philosophical knowledge to its citizens.
One of these projects is currently in the pilot stage and involves a partnership with Mi Primer Bitcoin (MPB) to introduce bitcoin instruction content in school courses. This would be targeted to increase adoption in the future with new generations. But a recently revealed initiative helps to elucidate the full strategy of Bukele’s bitcoin movements.
With the help of The Bitcoin Office of El Salvador, Bukele will offer bitcoin knowledge to 80,000 public servants as part of a Public Administration certification process. This means that every public servant in El Salvador will know the benefits of bitcoin and will be able to explain it to their close ones and other citizens, improving the trust in the cryptocurrency system.
The movement seeks to increase adoption as more Salvadorans get to know bitcoin academically and understand President Bukele’s moves that weren’t popular when executed.
In any case, Bukele’s bitcoin project is designed to continue growing in the long term, and all of these investments are projected to increase adoption and awareness about bitcoin, and the opportunities of including these at a state and personal level.
