El Salvador’s Bitcoin Experience
Anyways, back in September 2021, when El Salvador had made Bitcoin a legal tender, the country was struck with strong criticism from the traditional financial institutions I.e IMF.
Despite the criticism El Salvador has continuously been accumulating Bitcoin. The country holds over 2000 Bitcoins at the moment. The number equals approximately $60 million in monetary terms.
As an effect of the recent market crash El Salvador’s Bitcoin investment suffered a loss of over $36 million.
