The vicious circle starts when there is poverty that does not allow to get education and therefore there is a perpetuation of poverty. The president of Salvador (as any good president would) is trying to break this circle by attacking the poverty but he should also attack the ignorance at the same time, if possible, because we would encounter himself swimming against the stream otherwise. The vicious circles are quite hard to break at a personal level, ever harder at a nationwide level.
Yes, I understand that it is not a trivial problem to educate a society of an entire state so they can get better understanding of economy and crypto. But to adopt bitcoin we IMO have no other ways as any crypto solutions are still not so easy to use. To get all benefits crypto can give and not to lose crypto user should get enough economic knowledge. It is hard but it is the only way, IMHO.
As far as I have heard, so far there is no goal to educate Salvadoreans about "crypto" unless it is incidentally to focus on bitcoin, and to imply to stay away from that other shit. The same would be true in regards to the various other non-governmental forces in El Salvador which would be focusing on bitcoin, lightning network and matters related to those.
Of course, there would be no way to completely escape shitcoins and their desires to figure out ways to attempt to benefit from El Salvador's decision to make bitcoin legal tender.. so I suppose I am not going to disagree that there may well be ongoing needs to make sure that stupid-ass vague framings such as "crypto" does not confuse bitcoin with shitcoins and some of the likely incidental needs to clarify those kinds of points that bitcoin and crypto is not the same thing... so stop trying to suggest that there is some kind of first order need to educate about "crypto" when that is not the case in El Salvador.. at least not any kind of primary focus.
