The concept of legal tender is defined by each country.
This post only applies to the US, whereas Bitcoin can be used anywhere.
For example, Bitcoin actually is legal tender in El Salvador.
You are wrong. Please read again the law of El Salvador. It says "can be used like legal tender". It's a biiiig difference.
The concept of legal tender is defined by each country.
Nope. Is universal.

That's the official place where the law was published (in Spanish, of course).
It might be that you're having issues translating it:
Regulación del bitcoin como moneda de curso legal
That word "como" means "as" in this case, not "like". So, basically it says the law will "regulate Bitcoin as legal tender", not "like legal tender"

I speak fluently spanish...
como means like.

You're probably not a native Spanish speaker, as anyone who is one would know that the word "como" in this case means "as".

como is not es

Here are the multiple definition from the Real Academia Española: https://dle.rae.es/como
In this case the closest word in English is "as".

as is not is
If something is as something else, it's not that thing

As most certainly is is, for as means that IT IS of a particular form that is being stated
No different from if the IRS says something IS treated AS something else, the IS is implicitly there along with the AS, it cannot be separated
Not that it matters because what they say IS NONSENSE regardless
En el modo o la manera que, del modo o la manera que. U. sin antecedente expreso. Arreglé la mesa como me explicaron.
