Protestniki zažgejo bankomat Bitcoin v okviru demonstracij proti predsedniku Salvadorja

Kršitelji bitcoinov in tisti, ki protestirajo proti politiki predsednika El Savadorja Nayiba Bukeleja, so v glavnem mestu države uničili kripto kiosk.

News outlet Teleprensa and others posted videos on social media showing a Chivo-supported kiosk in San Salvador burning amid a crowd of journalists and protesters on Wednesday. The Bitcoin (BTC) machine, one of many arranged by the El Salvador government since its acceptance of the cryptocurrency as legal tender in the country, could be seen defaced with anti-BTC logos and a sign saying “democracy is not for sale.”

Župan San Salvadorja Mario Durán je dejal mestni delavci so se po grožnji umaknili z območja, vendar so se nameravali vrniti pozneje popoldne. V času objave se zdi, da je škoda omejena na stroj Chivo na trgu Plaza Gerardo Barrios v središču glavnega mesta, vendar naj bi tudi protestniki spali pohištvo iz ene od trgovin na plazi.

Kiosk Chivo - podobno kot bankomat za Bitcoin - je eden od približno 200 v Salvadorju, del vladnega uvajanja, ki poleg ameriškega dolarja sprejema BTC kot zakonito plačilno sredstvo. Predsednik Bukele je dejal, da upa, da bodo kripto bankomati sčasoma "povsod" v državi, vendar je trdil, da nihče ne bo prisiljen uporabljati Bitcoina.

Even before the Bitcoin Law went into effect on Sept. 7, El Salvador faced resistance to the seemingly radical legislation. Protesters calling themselves the Popular Resistance and Rebellion Block marched in the capital city streets in July, while a group consisting of retirees, veterans, disability pensioners and other workers formed their own demonstration naslednji mesec.

The same day the country’s Bitcoin Law went into effect, the price of the crypto asset dipped below $43,000, prompting Bukele to say he had “bought the dip” with the purchase of an additional 150 BTC. At the time of publication, the BTC price is $47,978, having risen by more than 3% in the last 24 hours.
