What does this mean to El Salvador Bitcoin?

The bill will mandate all businesses to accept bitcoin just like normal currency. The Development Bank will also sell some of the bitcoin it receives for dollars. He also hinted at Bitcoin mining with sustainable renewable energy. The goods and services in exchange for bitcoin look a very bright future for Bitcoin overall. As per the president, many don’t have access to Banks. There will be no compulsion to use Government announced Bitcoin wallet. Also, the rollout will be worked out for the population who lack Technical challenges.

The last point would be there won’t be any Tax/Capital gains in El Salvador for buying and selling Bitcoin.
