In Guatemalan legislation this asset is not yet regulated, like in other countries in the world. Unlike El Salvador, in the opinion of experts, in Guatemala it is necessary for it to be defined, so that its internal use can advance without the need to follow in the footsteps of the neighboring country.

In Lake Atitlán, for example, there are communities of users of this currency or bitcoiners who have popularized it, ensuring that local businesses now allow payments with the asset.

According to the BTC Map, a tool developed by the global user community, there are nearly 200 establishments in Guatemala alone that use Bitcoin as a payment method. Of which there are approximately 90 in the department of Guatemala and the same number around Lake Atitlán, being the locations where the benefit is most found.
