I don't know any other aspect of this president or the country to be honest, but you can use any lightning wallet you want, you don't have to use Chivo Wallet.
And Bitcoin being legal tender means the people in El Salvador don't have to pay capital gains when they sell Bitcoin. Similar to how gold coins in the UK work.
Seems pretty good to me.

They don't "have to" use the Chivo app. But people loose out on free money.
That's exactly the point of central banking - technically everyone is free to participate - but it is impossible to isolate yourself from the economy around you!
