The former computer intelligence consultant of the National Security Agency (NSA) and contractor of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), Edward Snowden, said that El Salvador Bitcoin made a legal means of payment on Tuesday. He tweeted:
Today, Bitcoin was officially recognized as a legal means of payment in his first country.

Snowden is not the only one who expects other countries to step into the footsteps of El Salvador and introduce Bitcoin. Dante Mossi, the executive president of Central American Bank for Economic Integration ( cabei ), said that if the introduction of Bitcoin is going well as a legal means of payment in El Salvador and the costs for transfers drop considerably, "other countries are likely to search for and take it over".
Even the Bank of America sees advantages in the introduction of Bitcoin as a legal means of payment for El Salvador. "Bitcoin could be used as an intermediary for cross -border transfers ... The use of Bitcoin for transfers could potentially reduce the transaction costs compared to conventional transfer channels," says Bank wrote in early August. In addition, the global investment bank jpmorgan called in June that the step of El Salvador could be "the beginning of a wider trend under similarly located, smaller nations".
