According to Cointelegraph, El Salvador's Bitcoin reserves have had a limited impact on the general population, and the country's loan agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) may further complicate its Bitcoin strategy. Quentin Ehrenmann, general manager at My First Bitcoin, an NGO focused on Bitcoin adoption, highlighted these concerns. Ehrenmann explained to Reuters that the repeal of Bitcoin's legal tender status under the IMF agreement has left a gap in public education and state-led adoption initiatives. He noted that since the government entered into this contract with the IMF, Bitcoin is no longer legal tender, and there has been no significant effort to educate the public. While the government continues to accumulate Bitcoin, this strategy appears to benefit the government more than the people directly. The agreement with the IMF also stipulates that El Salvador will not purchase any new Bitcoin, a detail confirmed in a recent IMF report. This contradicts claims by El Salvador’s Bitcoin Office that the country is accumulating Bitcoin daily. In January, El Salvador's legislature reduced public sector involvement in Bitcoin to comply with the IMF loan deal, sparking debate over whether the country's Bitcoin experiment has failed. Cointelegraph's visit to El Salvador in 2023 provided insights into how small businesses and everyday Salvadorans are using Bitcoin. Joe Hall, a visitor, used Bitcoin to pay for his hostel stay through IBEX Pay, a company facilitating Bitcoin payments over the Lightning Network. The Lightning Network allows for almost instant Bitcoin transactions, making it suitable for small, everyday purchases like coffee or meals. Despite the convenience, a lack of education remains a barrier to widespread Bitcoin adoption in El Salvador. The reporter noted that they had to assist the hostel clerk in accepting a payment over the Lightning Network, highlighting the ongoing challenges in Bitcoin education and adoption in the country.

Changes to El Salvador's Bitcoin laws under the IMF agreement put the benefits of BTC even further out of reach for the average resident. source: https://cointelegraph.com/news/el-salvador-bitcoin-reserve-help-people?utm_source=rss_feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss_partner_inbound
