In the broad society, the 41-year-old leader is known as an enthusiastic supporter of Bitcoin, whereby the local government has recently started numerous initiatives that focused on primary cryptocurrency. The most outstanding example was the introduction of BTC as a legal means of payment within the borders of El Salvador, which became official in September 2021.

However, many Salvadorians seem to be against the strategy and describe them as one of the biggest mistakes from Bukele's cabinet. The respondents stated that the price increase of goods and services and unemployment are other problems that the authorities would have to solve.

Salvadorian should see the other side of the Coin

Although some Salvadorians proclaim it as a fiasco, there are certain advantages that should also be taken into account.

On the one hand the small nation became very popular and cranked its tourism industry. Minister of Tourism of El Salvador-Morena Valdez- called Last year that the sector had risen by over 30 % in the first few months after the introduction of Bitcoin:

"We carried out a survey to check the activity after Bitcoin before and after. The tourism sector increased in November and December. This increased by more than 30 %."

President Bukele recently unveiled that tourism has increased by 95 %. He claimed that the multiple Bitcoin forays introduced by El Salvador were a factor for the increase.

Bukele also explained that the opening of the arms had repaired the nation's legacy compared to BTC. Before that, it was notorious to be one of the most violent countries in the world and reached a maximum of 103 murders per 100,000 inhabitants a few years ago

Then the President said that El Salvador had received "many private investments" since it jumped on the Bitcoin train.
