The option to get paid in BTC - even partially- would be great, yeah.

You don’t need the ā€œlegal tenderā€ for that. Find a job that pays you in Bitcoin.

Then I don’t really understand the difficulties you referred to.

Sorry. My bad. Let me rephrase.

Salvadorans earn dollars. Like it or not everyone in the emerging markets want the US dollar. Possibly cash. It is what it is. It’s undeniable. It’s the reason why they buy them on the black market for twice their value sometimes. It’s the reason there’s more USDT adoption that BTC adoption in the global south.

I’m not saying I like it. It’s just the truth.

Same in El Salvador. In order to boost adoption they need to understand that BTC is superior money compared to USD. And as you know it takes time. You need a profound comprehension of Bitcoin for that. It takes time.

Ok got you. Yeah you have to distinguish between everyday USDT and Bitcoin which is still volatile and currently rather a longterm store of value. This will evolve maybe to one day being an everyday money as well.
