Reality Of Bukele’s Bitcoin El Salvador – Bitcoin Magazine

This is an opinion piece by Shinobi, a self-taught Bitcoin educator and tech-savvy Bitcoin podcast host.

I recently spent a week in El Salvador attending Adopting Bitcoin and decided it might be worth summarizing my take on the things I’ve actually had the chance to visit the country for myself.

Since the announcement of the Bitcoin Legal Tender Act in 2021, the topic of El Salvador has been deeply divisive in this area. On one side you have people blindly rooting for President Nayib Bukele and treating all criticism as FUD and misinformation generated just to attack Bitcoin and its use. On the other hand, you have people who blindly condemn him as a dictator and human rights abuser and treat anything positive he achieves for his country as irrelevant in the face of his disregard for the law.
