pull down to refresh

there are required to recognize Bitcoin payments as satisfactory payment for any monetary debt.

good. i like this law.

usd is legal tender, btc is regulated as legal tender

two different things that accomplish the same goal for a regular individual

In 2001 El Salvador added USD as a second legal tender there through their Ley Integracion Monetaria:

You can see that defining the USD as legal tender there also came with a lot of definitions, similar to the Bitcoin law:

Todas las obligaciones en dinero expresadas en colones, existentes con anterioridad a la vigencia de la presente ley, podrán ser pagadas en dólares al tipo de cambio establecido en el Art. 1 de esta ley.

So, in El Salvador, they have 3 legal tenders, colones, USD, and Bitcoin.
