El Salvador retirees don't have to vote for bitcoin, president Bukele said in a tweet that for citizens concerned about their retirement funds, they can continue to choose to make transactions in US dollars as usual, using bitcoin not mandatory in the country if they have any doubts about bitcoin.

Actually, the reason El Salvador retirees reject Bitcoin is because they lack education about Bitcoin. We do have to understand that old people have
a harder time accepting something new, so they protest something they don't understand. The government of El Salvador should carry out a more
intensive education program about Bitcoin to the residents of El Salvador, especially the elderly population. Maybe the solution is that El Salvador
retirees can choose to use fiat if they don't trust Bitcoin. I agree with you, there is no compulsion from the government of El Salvador to use Bitcoin.

El Salvador retirees have all the right to protest if they think they will find it hard to understand and use bitcoin as a currency. But i don't think they should be bothered by that since their own fiat is not yet eliminated and they can still use it as much as they can. Maybe its just a misinformation.

While most of the elderly have found it hard to use bitcoin but most of the millenials and even those in their mid age are definitely enjoying using bitcoin because as far as i know, some are already into bitcoin investments even before bitcoin has become a legal tender.

El Salvador retirees don't have much time in their lives. It is natural that they are more comfortable with the old policies and resist the new
rules imposed by the El Salvador government. Retirees don't care about new things, maybe they don't have the motivation to accept new things
in their lives. The most important thing in their lives is that they can live the rest of their lives in peace, therefore the government of El Salvador is
wise enough not to eliminate fiat, and still gives El Salvador residents the choice of using fiat or Bitcoin. The government of El Salvador should
think about the progress of its country, so forced to take a bold decision by making Bitcoin a legal tender. Even though in the end not all
El Salvadorans supported it, I was among those who supported what the El Salvador government did.
