The World’s First BTC Nation — and the Hard Truths

In 2021, El Salvador did the unthinkable:

đŸ‡žđŸ‡» It made Bitcoin legal tender.

Suddenly, every shop, vendor, and business was supposed to accept BTC—by law.

What followed was
 complicated.

Yes, it was historic.

Yes, it onboarded millions to crypto wallets.

Yes, it made headlines and inspired politicians.

But here’s what actually happened on the ground:

đŸ“± The Chivo wallet rollout was buggy and rushed

đŸ’± Most people cashed out BTC for USD instantly

đŸȘ Merchants accepted BTC out of obligation, not belief


The truth?

Adoption isn’t automatic—especially when trust is low and tech is confusing.

So what did we learn?

  • Forcing BTC doesn’t create usage—education and infrastructure do

  • Airdrops work
 temporarily

  • Stability and simplicity always win in day-to-day spending

Still, El Salvador proved something big:

You can run a national experiment on Bitcoin.

Now the question is—who’s next?

And what can they do better?

BTC as legal tender is a milestone.

But mass adoption? That’s a marathon.
