There were some videos on the internet that shows you get to pay bitcoin as an option in El Salvador, they're not enforcing it that everyone should buy bitcoin to buy goods.
It's true that merchants and buyers can freely choose what they're up to with what they want to buy. This is really the development that should be welcomed by their people but it's also expected that not everyone is going to welcome this development as there are some protests that happens there because of this.
That's how it should be, the protest about it makes it like they're forcing people to use bitcoin. I knew from the start that they were doing the right thing on this one and the people that were against them weren't really in the right to be against the legalization of bitcoin in El Salvador, probably they're interest are being affected negatively.
But in reality, with those videos that I've seen, it's not really forcing people to use bitcoin. It's about a choice that anyone can make but the merchants have to accept whether their customers pay bitcoin or cash. Anyone has the right to disapprove and approve and those that are rallying, have their own right of protesting as long as they're on the right track. They probably don't understand what bitcoin and that's what they're protesting all about.
