Bitcoin, president of El Salvador presents law to legalize it

El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele will present a bill to legalize bitcoin at congress next week. Bukele himself announced it in a video message sent to the conference in Miami Bitcoin 2021. The Central American country will thus become the first in the world to use cryptocurrency as real currency. “In the short term – said Bukele – this will generate jobs and help the financial inclusion of thousands outside the official economy. Over 70% of El Salvador’s working population does not have a bank account”.
