In the latest statement, President Nayib Bukele of El Salvador clarified that citizens will not be forced to use the government-issued "Chivo" Bitcoin wallet. Earlier news, El Salvador will launch the electronic wallet Chivo in September, and pre-deposit 30 US dollars in Bitcoin for those who download the wallet.
You know the government of any country is desperate to buy votes when they come up with schemes like this. It seems like a bit of a populist and ridiculous scheme to come up with such a giveaway, basically the government is saying they are too incompetent to oversee a properly functioning banking system (or at least regulate normal banks sufficiently) and substituting it with a highly volatile asset instead. Bitcoin simply doesn't have the capacity to facilitate regular day to day transaction usage that a country needs if it is to rival a normal banking system. They would have been much wiser if they created a new currency on the scale of Dogecoin (126 billion originally) or Ethereum that has the ability to issue more tokens as supply requires.
