What if BTC were legalized once and for all? What if the government used it as currency and, even better, forced you to use BTC? What would it be like? El Salvador answers:

Even though the country adopted Bitcoin as its official currency in 2021, the experiment was a huge flop. The numbers don't lie:

74% of the population has not used BTC since its officialization.

Only 12% of Salvadorans made any transactions in BTC in 2023.

Most prices remain in dollars, the population's preferred currency.

Why did this happen? Simple: no one wants to deal with something so volatile on a daily basis. Imagine going to the market and seeing the price of bread rise or fall 5% to 10% in a few hours. Buying breakfast would be one trade, lunch another, and dinner yet another.

Stress is the name of the game. Living under this constant uncertainty is terrifying. Your salary today may buy a Ferrari, but tomorrow it may only buy a bicycle. And the people of El Salvador said "no".

I would say no too. What about you? Would you like to live dangerously like that?$BTC
