El Salvador’s President wants to buy one Bitcoin a day, as criticism grows over his pro-crypto policy
The South American nation is the first to make Bitcoin legal tender.
The President bought 80 Bitcoin using taxpayer funds for 19-thousand dollars earlier this year.
It’s all part of a plan to give the population more access to banking services and transfers.
An opinion poll shows more than 75 per cent of the population thinks it’s a failure of a policy.
The price of Bitcoin is hovering below 17,000 dollars, down from 45,000 in September of last year when the country made the coin as legal tender.
