I wonder how the government will give that bitcoin for free?
If the government ask them to register online by providing their wallet and send them the bitcoin, maybe it can be done.
But if that is real, it will attract more attention from people to get that $30 in bitcoin and maybe they will just hold it without want to sell it.
Besides that, it can help bitcoin grow in El Salvador because people will try to know and learn more about bitcoin.
The government will create its own Bitcoin wallet called Chivo, which is slang for “cool” in El Salvador, Bukele said during a national address on Thursday night. The funds will be deposited into the account of any citizen who downloads it and registers as a user with their phone number and ID number, he said.
