we are talking about law, it's very clear.

on dollar bills says "this note is legal tender", not this can be used as lt

reply

It is very clear:

Regulación del bitcoin como moneda de curso legal

That text in Spanish is very clear if you're a Spanish native speaker.

It says "Regulation of Bitcoin as legal tender".

reply

yep, it's clear.
i don't know what you are no getting.

where in the law says "Bitcoin is legal tender"?
It's an impossibility, the law would be null and void

reply

Exactly. Bitcoin cannot be legal tender, because legal tender means discharging debt with another financial instrument.
Bitcoin cannot be that. Only fiat can be legal tender.

But yeah many people have this misconception in their mind that legal tender means legal money or something like that.
They literally do not know what is money and what is legal tender.

https://www.diariooficial.gob.sv/seleccion/30534 page 13 and 14:

Art 4: Todas las contribuciones tributarias podran ser pagadas en bitcoin
Art 7: Todo agente economico debera aceptar bitcoin como forma de pago cuando asi le sea ofrecido por quien adquiere un bien o servicio
Art 13: Todas las obligaciones en dinero expresadas en dolares, existentes con anterioridad a la vigencia de la presente ley, podran ser pagadas en Bitcoin

Etc...

The law says you can pay debts with Bitcoin.

reply

is can same as must?

reply
Legal tender is a form of money that courts of law are required to recognize as satisfactory payment for any monetary debt.

After this law passed in El Salvador, the courts of law there are required to recognize Bitcoin payments as satisfactory payment for any monetary debt.

You have the option to pay it with USD or Bitcoin if you want in El Salvador, as both are considered legal tender there.

It's right there on page 13 of the official document: https://www.diariooficial.gob.sv/seleccion/30534

On Article 1 it literally says that this law regulates Bitcoin as legal tender, and then goes into the exact details of what that means in the next articles...

it wouldn't have to go in details if "Bitcoin is legal tender"

FFS how many times we have to tell you that as is not is?

reply

magic

reply

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

reply

if I treat you as my brother it means you are not my brother

reply

Lux, I am your brother

reply

you are my legal tender
