> SAN SALVADOR, Sept 2 (Reuters) - Most Salvadorans disagree with the government's decision to adopt bitcoin as legal tender, with many unaware of how to use the digital currency and distrustful of the project, a poll by the Central American University (UCA) showed on Thursday.
> At least 67.9% of 1,281 people surveyed said they disagree or strongly disagree with the use of bitcoin as a legal tender, said the poll by UCA, a Jesuit university based in El Salvador. Just over 32% of people said they agree on some level.
Seems the majority of people disagree with this action.
> And a large chunk of those protestors are countryside people paid by US funded NGOs.
That's a broad claim, of which I don't find any evidence. Do you have references here?
What people see is that they get free money from the government and maybe they’re lucky to see it go up. They don’t know it could be half tomorrow.
Cryptocurrency as a primary method of transaction is 31 flavors of Baskin-Robin disaster. That doesn't make it any less funny when the IMF is complaining about a loss of control.
