The catch is that the 30$ worth of bitcoin is given for those that download Chivo, an app provided by the Government to manage crypto (from September 2021 onwards). Fine it’s a way to kick-start things into motion, but I’d rather it be a wallet of free choice.

Skimming through the belowlink with information on Chivo, it states that:
-   Users need to register with their Id and phone number.
-   They’ll also need a facial recognition or complete a phone questionnaire from a given call center.
