Vitalik Buterin criticizes the mandatory Bitcoin adoption policy of the President of El Salvador
The co-founder of Ethereum, Vitalik Buterin, spoke out against the mandatory Bitcoin use of President Nayib Bukele for dealers and companies and said that this was against the "ideal of freedom" of cryptocurrency.
Buterin commented on a Reddit article entitled "Unpopular opinion: The President of El Salvador, Mr. Nayab (Nayib) Bukele should not be praised by the Crypto community." The co-founder of Ethereum did not fail to call "Bitcoin Maximalists", of which he believed that they praised the step of the Salvadorian president without criticism. "Too bad about everyone (ok, good, I call the main responsible: shame about Bitcoin maximalists) who praise him uncritically." Buterin continued that Bitcoin Maximalists were easily satisfied if a person does something in a authority position or speak for BTC. President Nayib Bukele has been criticized since the legislators of El Salvador by opponents and the international community to make the cryptocurrency a legal means of payment at the beginning of the year. The so-called Bitcoin law was already implemented in September, with the government also granting EL Salvadorians access to download the Chivo wallet app. But but the button called the mass adoption of Bitcoin "ruthless" and said:
"In addition, this tactic is to push BTC to millions of people in El Salvador at the same time, without trying to attempt, ruthlessly and risk that a large number of innocent people are hacked or cheated."
However,President Bukele explained beforehand that the introduction of Bitcoin optional for citizens in El Salvador. .
