While some Salvadorans situated near Playa El Zonte beach like the new bitcoin tender law implemented by Nayib Bukele’s regime, a number of other citizens dislike the law. This week, regional reports show citizens from El Salvador have taken to the streets to protest the bitcoin tender law.
Salvadoran Protestors Say Bitcoin Is ‘Too Volatile’ and Like ‘Playing the Lottery’One might think from some of the fluffy reports stemming from a number of cryptocurrency magazines that all is swell in El Salvador in regard to the new bitcoin law. However, during the first week of July, a survey conducted by Disruptiva polled 1,233 people residing in El Salvador and a majority of Salvadorans said they were skeptical of bitcoin as a currency. Following the implementation of the new bitcoin tender law, leaked reports claimed Nayib Bukele’s government cohorts were planning to launch a stablecoin.
Now a regional report from the news outlet El Mundo shows a number of Salvadorans have taken to the streets to protest the bitcoin law. Marchers gathered together to speak out against Bukele’s tender law and said the crypto asset was “too volatile.”
There’s also a resistance group called the “Popular Resistance and Rebellion Block” group, which has written a letter to Bukele’s regime saying the law is unconstitutional. The group says bureaucrats under the control of Bukele did not consult the citizenry first and they stressed the president’s move was akin to playing “the lottery.”
Nayib Bukele Is Considered a ‘Dictator’Nayib Bukele is considered an authoritarian leader and recently mandated that citizens must take Covid-19 vaccines, despite the pushback against the experimental drugs. A number of mainstream American news publications have called El Salvador’s president a “dictator.” Last May, Bukele’s New Ideas Party fired several Supreme Court members and the attorney general.
Despite leaning toward bitcoin, El Salvador’s president has been called a “dictator.” In recent times he’s been criticized for mandating Covid-19 vaccines on the populace without full consent. Twenty government institutions linked to the Bukele administration were under investigation for manipulation and corruption. He then fired all those who were involved in the investigation. The news publication El Faro has also accused Bukele of secretly negotiating a deal with Mara Salvatrucha, the most powerful gang in El Salvador.Bukele even tweeted about the removal and exclaimed the representatives had been “dismissed.” People believe the members were fired because the Supreme Court ruled a few times that Bukele made unconstitutional mistakes. The Salvadoran attorney general was investigating several of the Bukele regime’s ministers.
On May 4, U.S. vice president Kamala Harris spoke about the Salvadoran nation in a speech. “Just this weekend, we learned that the Salvadoran parliament moved to undermine its nation’s highest court. An independent judiciary is critical to a healthy democracy and a strong economy. On this front — on every front — we must respond.”

The Popular Resistance and Rebellion Block group stressed:
Bitcoin only serves some large businessmen, especially those linked to the government, to launder ill-gotten money.
While the supermajority in the Salvadoran congress passed the law, bitcoin (BTC) won’t officially be recognized until September 7, 2021. Protestors hope that in the interim, Salvadoran lawmakers will stop Bukele’s New Ideas Party from successfully implementing the legislation. Meanwhile, a few Salvadorans disliked the group’s protest and said: “How can they be called resistance and rebellion? Hahaha… Bitcoin is true financial freedom.”
“Sad to see people who seek to go backward and limit the growth of the country,” another individual added.
