i highly doubt that happens. it's probably not that much of a large deal in the grand scheme of things, since even though it was a requirement to accept bitcoin, you always heard stories that most places didn't accept bitcoin in El Salvador anyways. so the whole requirement going away sounds like a nothing burger since the requirement was never enforced. for optics though, it looks like defeat. that's the only concerning part. as for why they need the money? no clue.
