Some people have gone crazy in El Salvador protest burning Bitcoin ATMs, but what if all those protests are secretly supported and sponsored by bankers and IMF, who are against Bitcoin.
You can find fanatics in every country and it's even easier to find people you can bribe, I learned important lesson in my life that majority of protest and demonstrations have some hidden agenda.
It's not that hard to find some poor people, offer them to make some money and convince them how Bitcoin is terrible and how it will destroy their country and economy, this is especially easy to do in socialist countries.
I don't know exact political situation in El Salvador and what politicians are against president Bukele, but it's very easy to manipulate people and this was a big protest with thousands of people, not small group like some claimed before

Now imagine people in this country supporting sinking US dollar titanic as their only currency, and fear hating Bitcoin in the same time Roll Eyes

They're doing that for some reason and of course someone is paying them as well to do that stupid things. Because infact no one is forcing them to use bitcoin tho, and they can still used dollars everywhere within the country wherein for short its optional..so i have doubts someone's paying those people to destroy the image of bitcoin maybe a competitors of El Salvador ? Lol

The opposition parties have opposed the move from president Nayib Bukele to make Bitcoin legal tender along with US Dollar. So naturally I would assume that this is the work of the opposition. That said, I can't completely rule out the involvement of transnational players here. Do you really think that the Americans would sit idle, if they feel that there is a threat to US Dollar? El Salvador is a small country, but if somehow the implementation is successful, then what is the guarantee that other countries will not follow the measure? And trust me. CIA has overthrown regimes and assassinated politicians in Latin America for less serious issues.

Yeah this whole thing is really odd. I guess I am not sure why the would do this. Well, I guess I shouldn't completely say that, there are some people who simply don't like the implications that bitcoin brings about and it would seem to me that that is what is going on here. They don't like the change, they don't like the out of the norm change, they don't like to embrace the technology etc. Very odd.

Being yesterday a holiday and a commemoration of the 200 years of independence from the Spanish Empire, there were bags of people everywhere, with demonstrations and counter demonstrations. Easy pastures to stir up some smallish alleged anti-bitcoin protests amidst it all.

Thank you for this very important information that sheds a completely different light on this whole situation, because it seems that those who are against Bitcoin used the national holiday to send the world a completely wrong picture. In a country of 6.5 million people, how many are actually protesting against Bitcoins - a few hundred or a few thousand?

I wonder if people also protested when El Salvador left its national currency 20 years ago and replaced it with the US dollar? Regardless of our attitudes when it comes to Bitcoin, every country is economically strong as much as its currency and domestic banks are stable - when you lose that you become just a monetary slave exploited by the IMF, the World Bank, and similar institutions that blackmail you into doing what they want in exchange for financial aid.

Actually El Salvador government didn't push their citizens to use bitcoin, everyone have their own choice, those people should not did that. In my point of view, those people did criminal activity by destroying Bitcoin ATM, I personally think that what they did wasn't just that but actually they trying to destroy El Salvador's good economic future. Maybe they have some USD and don't want to suffer financial loss. That's so selfish, sacrificing many people's good future for their interest. That's my opinion.

Even if someone has US Dollar funds with him/her, how he is going to suffer losses if Bitcoin is also made the legal tender? USD usage will be largely unaffected. Those who were using USD earlier, can continue using that. The only difference is that previously it was mandatory for everyone to use USD everywhere because that was the only legal tender. Now those who want to go for an alternative do have a choice. So what the USD supporters want? They want to force everyone to stick with USD?

Why is it so? If you don't want to use Bitcoin, you can continue to use US dollars, and there is no need to damage the machine. There are also many people who like to use Bitcoin, which causes inconvenience for others. Is this destroying public property? Should I be responsible? I hope someone can take care of this matter and it won't happen again.

But we do not know what their people will do later and if they do not like bitcoin, maybe they still do that and will not use bitcoin. I think their government does not force the people to use or not use bitcoin in their country. So their people can still use their fiat currency but they do not allow to destroy public facilitate. I wonder what their government will do later related to that news and hopefully, they will still install the other Bitcoin ATM in the other locations.

They will still install as they are already implemented the adoption of bitcoin but what we need to know there if those guy who destroy those ATM will be put in jail if they can sample one jerks doing that for sure those bitcoin haters will not tempt to do it but instead leave those bitcoin user alone on there decisions. Best for El Salvador government to continue raise awareness on bitcoin so that slowly by slowly their citizens can also adopt it.

Thats the point , even if they don't favor the use of Bitcoin then they can continue using their Dollar/Fiat why need to do this? they are not even forced to use bitcoin in which only adopted as option for those who wanted to have faster and safe online transactions.
and also many of their people are working abroad so using bitcoin is faster and cheaper for them to sent .

Well, they really are idiots if you ask me. If they want to use dollars then use it. Bitcoin doesn't affect the dollars price and yet they destroyed the ATM machine. Just let them be and maybe they'll realise it that they are wrong for destroying the machines.

They are acting like barbarians. Dont like something - destroy it. I dont understand their motives. Bitcoin is not the only currency in El Salvador. It has not replaced US dollar, this is just an additional payment method. I also dont understand what they dont like in Bitcoin. Dont like something new? Then dont use plastic cards for payment also. With the actions against Bitcoin they just make it more popular. Black PR.

P.S. Destroying ATM is really stupid, it is insured definitely. This is same as in movies - shooting the monitors to destroy data on hard disk drives.

Astounded by the amazing success of Bitcoin implementation in El Salvador, anti-social elements sponsored by the USD lobby have started vandalizing and destroying the Bitcoin ATMs installed by the government. The Bitcoin implementation has proceeded relatively smoothly and this has angered those who were expecting it to fail. I don't expect them to stop with this. The next step may be rioters beating up anyone who is using Bitcoin and vandalizing shops that accept BTC as a payment mode.

Interesting.
If this is true, it's clear the Spirit behind it isn't a good one. It's evil spirit. Says alot about the currency that is prefer by evil spirits for New World Order entities.
Decentralized currency weakens their power and control.

There are lies, damned lies and statistics. MTwain

@Bukele’s twitter has a few references to the events, and hints ties to the opposition stirring up the vandalism, not specifically to USD supporters in terms of ideology. This is bound to happen as the opposition is against the Bitcoin Law, and will likely beat the government at every opportunity.

<…> I don't understand Spanish.What does "bukele drogo narco cerote" mean?Does this have something to do with drugs and Latin American nacro cartels? <…>

Some people in @Bukele’s administration were linked to alleged narco trafficking ties (see https://twitter.com/ElFaroEnglish/status/1394420029710495744). This is likely to be exploited here and there to get to @Bukele.

"Cerote" in El Salvador means, I believe, something like "stupid", but it can also refer to "turd".

That's just disappointing that people are like this just to protest over something and it's not that even that big of an issue because it's not like it's going to be sealing the fate of the country. Ignorance does breed hate because this is what the people are showing right now.

It's too early for them to do this because there are no things that make them worry about the result of the implementation of bitcoins in their country everything seems right and it was a success they just went overboard with it. It's obvious that they are being paid to do this and they think they can cause confusion to the people now that they already enjoying this new regulation of their government. Whoever the people behind this, they might be one of those people who lose some high percentage of their profit when bitcoin was implemented in El Salvador.

people nowadays love to throw tantrums if something didn't go as they wanted. I wouldn't be surprised if it really came to that. I just hope people who use BTC would be prepared if they started getting targeted, blamed, and attacked by the people who are against the implementation of bitcoin in El Salvador.

I am curious what steps would the El Salvador government take to de-escalate the situation.

dollar supporters destroy bitcoin atm in el salvador, maybe these are just people who are not happy with the presence of bitcoin in el salvador, they are already very afraid, i think the government should seriously deal with this problem, because if the government ignores and does not take sanctions against them, according to I think other damage will continue to happen..

That's an insane move being done by Bitcoin haters. I think they hate adoption which couldn't help on their country's development. I can't find any reason for them to hate Bitcoin adoption because if they don't want to use it, they still have other options so destroying Bitcoin ATMs will never help.

Dollar means stability, at least in this narrow aspect of a stable purchasing power.

It mostly means reliance and becoming a colony rather than stability. If it were stability El Salvador economy and the country in general wouldn't have been like this to begin with! They already tried being a "colony" and it failed.

and a financial change like this

I don't think it is such as big "financial change". They didn't "replace" fiat with bitcoin, they just added bitcoin alongside fiat and nobody forced people to use bitcoin.
