đľEl Salvadorâs Monetary Historyđľ
Once upon a time, El Salvador had its own national currency called the Salvadorian Colon. The Colon collapsed after the Salvadorian civil war, and El Salvador adopted the US dollar as its new national currency in 2001
đEl Salvadorâs Bitcoin Historyđ
El Salvadorâs Bitcoin history begins with an anonymous American who wanted to create a small-scale economy that runs entirely on Bitcoin. He donated millions of dollars in BTC to turn the town of El Zonte into Bitcoin Beach
đ¨âđťEl Salvadorâs Bitcoin Adoptionđ¨âđť
Bitcoin Beach turned a lot of heads in the crypto industry, and it inspired some companies to carve out their own crypto niche in the country.
One of these companies was Zap which decided to deploy their Strike app in El Salvador
Zap and Strike CEO Jack Mallers was asked by Salvadorian president Nayib Bukele to help him write the bill to make Bitcoin legal tender and set up some of the infrastructure to make it possible
âEl Salvadorâs Bitcoin Bill Explainedâ
First, BTC can be used to pay for all goods, services, taxes, and past, present, and future debts. Second, BTC will not be subject to any capital gains tax
Third, all businesses must accept BTC by law, and if any business do not want to keep BTC on their balance sheets, the government will provide them with âinstant convertibilityâ to USD
Fourth, the government will provide cryptocurrency training and education for both individuals and institutions. Fifth, the government will provide the necessary infrastructure to facilitate all the above
And finally, the government will create a special Bitcoin trust, something which happened shortly before the law came into effect
đŤCriticisms Of El Salvadorâs Bitcoin AdoptionđŤ
Almost every financially involved international organization you can think of has criticized El Salvadorâs move to make BTC legal tender, including some of its citizens which are concerned about the effects it could have on the countryâs economy
đ¨âđŤPresident Nayib Bukeleâs Response To Criticsđ¨âđŤ
Banks have had 20 years to roll out their infrastructure to Salvadorian citizens, yet 70% of them remain unbanked. As such, they have no right to complain about El Salvadorâs BTC adoption according to Nayib
Nayib also rightfully points out that most of these same critics donât know how the regular financial system works either
Nayib thinks these concerns will all but disappear once people see the practical effects of the Bitcoin bill, notably the inflow of human and financial capital from overseas
đľď¸ââď¸Risks Of El Salvadorâs Bitcoin Adoptionđľď¸ââď¸
Besides Bitcoinâs volatility, the biggest risk to El Salvadorâs Bitcoin adoption is centralization, specifically of the lightning network payment channels that all the countryâs wallets will use. Most of these wallets are custodial and require some form of KYC, which could present other issues in the future.
