El Salvador adopted both BTC and the U.S. dollar at the same time as national currencies. It's not a matter of BTC vs. SVC.

Edit: The person I'm replying to edited their comment instead of admitting they were wrong. Classy.

You're getting downvotes from the cryptobros who refuse to acknowledge the legitimate criticism of their holy savior BTC.

I have not seen a single piece of legitimate criticism of BTC anywhere on the whole wide lemmyverse. And there's plenty to criticize.

El Salvador adopted USD in 2001 and phased out the Colon (former currency) over the next few years. Bitcoin came way later.
