Bitcoin will become an official legal tender in El Salvador but not everyone is happy about it
On September 7 of this year, Bitcoin will officially become legal tender in El Salvador, but according to Reuters and Euronews hundreds of citizens protested against the introduction of the digital currency
Not everyone agrees with the acceptance of Bitcoin
On September 7 of this year, Bitcoin will officially become legal tender in El Salvador. From that date on, every business will have to accept Bitcoin as well as the US dollar. According to the president, this will benefit the people as this law will encourage international remittances using Bitcoin. It would save the country almost $400 million in remittance fees and guarantees instant and more secure financial transactions.But according to reports in the media, hundreds of protesters gathered to make their voices heard against the introduction of Bitcoin. According to the news agencies this included workers, veterans, and pensioners.
Vitality and instability are the main concerns
Volatility and instability are the main concerns. Stanley Quinteros , a member of the Justice union Supreme Court, says the mandatory adoption of Bitcoin could harm Salvadoran finances because there is no way to control or stabilize prices.The Salvadoran Association of International Freight Forwarders (ASTIC) also protested the acceptance of Bitcoin. The group stated that if they do not receive a response to their concerns, they will impose an additional 20% fee on those who pay for their freight with Bitcoin to protect themselves from Bitcoin's volatility.
In addition, a group of activists, students, and unions organized a demonstration. They argued that the law was passed without any consultation and could potentially harm citizens, as they believe there is a risk of corruption and an increase in crime.
How big are the protests?
A user on Twitter posted a picture to show that the protests were not as large as the media reported. It's hard to tell if his accusations are true, but he accuses the media of not telling the whole story and only showing pictures that zoomed-in instead of filming the crowd from a distance.
President Nayib Bukele will inevitably come under pressure in the coming days. Reports from various agencies aim to show that making Bitcoin a legal tender is the wrong decision. For example, the IMF and the World Bank warned that acceptance would put El Salvador in danger because they believe that accepting the currency is a "step too far" and that the risks of such adoption outweigh the benefits and also JP Morgan warned the country that the liquidity problem of Bitcoin makes it unsuited to be a legal tender

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
