It is logical that the world bank and the world's economic power do not look favorably on what the president of El Salvador is doing by approving the use of BTC as a legal cryptocurrency in the brother country of El Salvador. It would be strange if the United States and the world bank would look favorably on this decision.
Greetings and thanks for your valuable contribution.
I think so. World Bank as we know it, will no longer have much influence in World politics, so it will really be had for USA and World Bank to favor such decision
This is really a welcomed development in the world of cryptocurrency. Thanks for sharing this amazing article with us @haccolong
