The study noted that, despite huge struggles by the El Salvador government agencies to promote Bitcoin & Bitcoin use in the payment system, 75.6% of citizens didn’t use Bitcoin payment this year. And the main reason for not using the Bitcoin payment system is the downfall in the price of Bitcoin.
On the other hand, 77% of citizens think that the government should stop accumulating Bitcoin funds because the Government is only spending public money to buy Bitcoin.
The UCA rector Andreu Oliva said:
“Is the government’s most unpopular measure (Bitcoin legal tender), the most criticized and the most frowned upon.”
