Great news  Smiley Just a small concern with the the ‘State backed crypto wallet’ - but I suppose they have to do this to increase mass adoption.
Interestingly ‘ chivo’ is slang for ‘cool’ .
Good luck to El Salvador BTC Smiley

I was also really skeptical initially. But since the usage of the "official wallet" is optional as far as I know(people are free to use other Lightning wallets), then I guess it's not as bad as we'd expect.
Most probably the government was urging to use that wallet to giveaway $30 in bitcoin but they are free to use any wallet and like most common is Strike among El Salvador for lightning network payment as you might have seen in some stores and videos.But launch of more than 200 bitcoin and other in past El Salvador is ready to adapt to the future inspite os some protest among people to legalize it but when they will use it they will automatically comes to know dollar domination could be feed by using btc and protest would turn out in support.
