Could Bitcoin Knots be the activation client for CTV and/or other covenant proposals?

The new Bitcoin Magazine print edition is out, and IMHO it’s the most important issue we’ve made so far.

Let’s make sure US politicians are actually pro-Bitcoin… not just pro-buying Bitcoin.

"Never active," that seems wrong... I posted less than two weeks ago, and resposted just a few days ago.

That’s a question for nostr:npub1wnlu28xrq9gv77dkevck6ws4euej4v568rlvn66gf2c428tdrptqq3n3wr.

There is no universally accepted definition of “legal tender”. Arguably, if a country merely says a currency is legal tender, it is.

(It certainly has nothing to do with forcing people to accept it… most legal tenders aren’t forced on merchants.)

That’s why I’m curious if El Salvador explicitly said bitcoin won’t be legal tender anymore. Sounds like they didn’t say that, then?

I’d say that’s probably the best, most concise definition as well.

Was that ever possible in El Salvador? I know they said it would be, but was it really? Like, has anyone actually done that?

There isn’t really a universally agreed upon definition of “legal tender”, so if El Salvador says bitcoin is legal tender in their country, it arguably just is. Regardless of what that means in practice or the reality on the ground.

(Many people think “legal tender” means merchants are obligated to accept it in trade — as was by-the-letter-of-the-law the case for bitcoin in El Salvador — but that’s not actually the case in most countries.)
