How does El Salvador compare to Panama or Costa Rica when it comes to local market adoption? Panama seems really bitcoin-friendly.

If we are considering the general economy performance on them each, then individual of them have how they manage the economy affairs of their country for their own good, but when it comes to digital currency adoption or bitcoin, El-Savador is not only leading these countries, but the entire world, there was a move sometimes last year or so about Panama to adopt bitcoin but they couldn't make it to the last stage before the whole thing die down together with their ambition for it.

Maybe they slow down their plans towards adopting bitcoin since they see how volatile bitcoin is that's why maybe they see some risk if they push their adoption while their knowledge is limited about it. But for sure their they continue their study regarding on its another discussion of possible adoption. If they just have the same guts what El Salvador government did for sure they can learn a lot from them and now successful to circulate this currency on their country but we can understand that not all leaders is open for development and there are still people is in doubt regarding on its usage that's why for now let just see if there's new update if Panama successfully make bitcoin as their legal tender or totally back out on the scene. Many people want this to happen since just like what El Salvador did this can create a huge noise and possible it can attract other country to think about doing the same acceptance.

I just think like this, if one day every country adopts BTC it is possible that Nayib Bukele will be the first head of state to be included in the list of recipients of the first Nobel Prize in Economics, especially Virtual Currency with his work in Bitcoin Legal Tender on a large scale and the breakthroughs that have come out from the current alternative financial system, precisely 10-14-2024.

Anyone is free to buy BTC and continue your discussion for the country of Panama. I think it is quite strategic if seen geographically and I think it will soon be the next country to follow in the footsteps of El-Salvador to legalize Bitcoin as a means of payment.

On the other hand, this country is also identical and has a reputation as a country whose taxes do not bother people, especially if more brokers appear and are seriously considering the implementation of this investment for immediate adoption because of the popularity of this virtual money.

The difference between Panama / Costa Rica and El Salvador is that presidents of these nations have different mindsets. While we have seen documents proposing to make Bitcoin a legal tender in Panama and Costa Rica presented by parliamentarians there is no willpower from the executive to lobby for the passing of these bills. Nayid Bukele had to lobby the legislative arm and convince them to sign the bill after comprehensively explaining the benefits to the lawmakers.

But in the case of Panama and Costa Rica Laurentino Cortizo and Rodrigo Chaves Robles are not passionate about Bitcoin like their El Salvador counterparts. Maybe these presidents are under external pressure from anti-bitcoin forces or they are too blind to the the future of Bitcoin.
It must be admitted that Nayib Bukele's work continues to move and does not stop trying before all the laws are passed.
If we trace it, Nayib Bukele also experienced pressure in facing this process because it was impossible for the process that Nayib Bukele went through to legalize the Bitcoin tender to be as easy as imagined. But Bukele's principles regarding the future of their investments have proven to be able to generate profits now.

The two Presidents of the two countries may be trying hard to convince various related parties to smooth out the steps being taken.
So I am not wrong in saying that El Salvador is better regarding Bitcoin adoption than Panama and Costa Rica.

El Salvador continues to walk with President Nayib Bukele's strong principles regarding Bitcoin legal tender.
I can't compare in detail how El Salvador's adoption compares with Panama or Costa Rica because I'm not from those three countries. However, according to updated information that I continue to find out, El Salvador is better.

Panama and Costa Rica seem to be very friendly towards bitcoin. Because I found old news about a congressman in Panama who was going to make a regulation regarding bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in his country.

Quote
Panamanian congressman Gabriel Silva plans to submit a bill that could potentially spearhead the adoption of cryptocurrencies as legal tender and create tax incentives for crypto-related businesses.
Source: https://www.cnbcindonesia.com/market/20210617115729-17-253850/giliran-panama-bakal-akui-bitcoin-sebagai-mata-uang-yang-sah

But after I looked for the latest news, I couldn't find what the sequel was like. This means that it can be concluded that up to now these regulations have not yet been made or have not yet been definitively ratified by the government.

And regarding Costa Rica. The law regarding bitcoin seems to have been written.

Quote
In October 2022, congresswoman Johana Obando introduced a bill seeking to approve bitcoin and cryptocurrencies as regulated payment methods in the country, as a means to modernize the economy.
Source: https://www.liputan6.com/crypto/read/5151406/kosta-rika-kenalkan-ruu-untuk-setujui-kripto-jadi-metode-pembayaran-sah?page=2

But what I understand from the news, it seems that the law was not made absolutely for the adoption of Bitcoin like in El Salvador. But it is more about securing and protecting property rights for people who own bitcoin or crypto (legalization).

So the conclusion is that these two countries are very friendly towards bitcoin. But for the issue of full adoption like in El Salvador, it still doesn't seem to happen. Because it certainly won't be that easy to imitate the bitcoin adoption that occurred in El Salvador.

El Salvador announces reforms to boost oil, gas exploration
El Salvador's state energy authorities announced on Monday that legal reforms to boost oil and gas exploration have been presented to lawmakers for approval.

The measures aim to lure investment and modernize the sector's legal framework in the country, the Central American country's energy authorities said in a statement.

Under the new framework, contracts would allow data firms to look into existing projects and then sell the information they gather to oil companies.

The government is seeking to enter into partnerships with experienced companies to map out the resources in the country and reduce costs, the statement added.

In 2008, El Salvador enacted a law that opened the doors for oil and gas exploration but there have been few recent projects.

El Salvador imports most of its fossil fuels, which power over half of the country's energy needs.

The text of the above post should be in quotes... or somehow otherwise indicating that they are not your words.

In other words, none of those words are your own FinePoine0.  They are copied and pasted directly from the article that you cited, so none of us should have to click on the link that you provided in order to verify whether those are your words or if they are actually coming from the article.
Well said Jay, let me add to what you've given already.

Making a post that will not be yours directly being an author to it should not be allowed, which equally means, whenever you're making a post, try as much as possible to differentiate your own aspect from the copied one through the insertion of quote, you cannot just make a write up now, which is another man's work you copied and try to place the link under just to shield you from getting banned for plagiarism, atleast, try and read the whole article, digest and then throw out your own personal opinion on it, and if you think you don't have an idea, it's as better as you don't even make a comment under it.

I agree that it is better to post something and at least make some kind of a comment about it, but yeah it is really misleading to post something without quotes or any kind of way to identify if the words that are used are from the article or if they are from the member posting.. and even though the forum treats failure to attribute lighter than plagiarism, it is a bit of a fine line, and it sometimes seems that some members are just too much abusing the way that they attribute, and so yeah, it is a bit of plagiarism that is not being punished (especially if the member has a pattern of citing articles in that kind of way of not properly quoting.

It also seems to be that if you don't have an opinion about an article, you could still say something like:  "I looked at this article and it seems to be saying x, y and z, and I am not really sure what it means, but I thought a, b and c might be relevant..." or any kind of a superficial comment would at least show that the person had at least browsed over the article and maybe did not understand everything but maybe took some points from it... or was confused about some points from the article (or the tweet, or whatever it is that is being quoted)..

Around January, the news about the Panama story was still wrapped up in regulations.

According to an official statement, the president’s office considers articles 34 and 36 of the bill unenforceable because they violate the state’s separation of powers and establish administrative structures within the government.

El Salvador continues to walk with President Nayib Bukele's strong principles regarding Bitcoin legal tender.

The President of El Salvador, Nayeb Bukele, is a wise man, so he knows and believes in Bitcoin.


Try to go back for a moment to his statement some time ago, the President of El Salvador, to be precise.

There are other coins in crypto currency other than other coins Why did El Salvador choose Bitcoin in their country?

Because Bukele understood that there is a difference between bitcoins and shitcoins, so why get distracted with scams if you actually understand what bitcoin is?  Including shitcoins into any El Salvador plan would have had been dumb and a distraction (and also would have shown that Bukele did not sufficiently understand what bitcoin is)... and so it should be considered a good thing that they/Bukele are/is neither dumb nor distracted into shitcoins.
From the start, Bukele had a high commitment to Bitcoin adoption, and this is proven to this day. Because its commitment does not waver in the slightest with other alternative coins. So if Nayib Bukele has the initiative to try or expand his plans to add altcoins to his long-term portfolio, in my opinion Bukele can be said to be lacking in keeping his commitment. However, I am sure that Bukele is not that kind of person, because his belief in making bitcoin legal in his country and deciding to create a long-term portfolio for bitcoin, has become an absolute thing that cannot be shaken. Because that was the goal from the start.

Even though his term of office will end in 2024, from what I know, he will run again for president and will most likely win. And what is certain is that his long-term project regarding bitcoin will definitely continue.

Quote
SAN SALVADOR, September 15 (Reuters) - El Salvador President Nayib Bukele said Thursday he would run for re-election, even though the country's constitution bars presidents from serving consecutive terms.
Source: https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/despite-prohibition-el-salvador-president-bukele-says-he-will-seek-re-election-2022-09-16/

Even though there are a few restrictions, Bukele still wants to nominate himself again. This means that from this we can conclude that Bukele's seriousness towards the project he is currently running is very large (bitcoin adoption).

And in conclusion, Bukele is unlikely to risk adding another coin to his portfolio. Because this portfolio does not belong to Bukele personally, but rather belongs to one country. So it's impossible for Bukele to dare take such a big risk.

Why did El Salvador choose Bitcoin for remittances?

We know that El Salvador is the first country in the world to officially recognize Bitcoin as a legal currency in their country.

In a vote in El Salvador's Congress, the country recognized Bitcoin as its official currency. They acknowledge that Bitcoin can be used as legal tender in their country.
El Salvador's enactment of this law will allow bitcoin to be used as legal tender in all financial transactions in the country.
The President of El Salvador, Naib Bukele, said that it will now be much easier for the people of El Salvador who live in the diaspora and send money to the country.
There are other coins in crypto currency other than other coins Why did El Salvador choose Bitcoin in their country.



Why did you say ignorant things? No other coin compares to Bitcoin. Bitcoin is legal.

The President of El Salvador, Nayeb Bukele, is a wise man, so he knows and believes in Bitcoin. Bitcoin is a trusted coin, has been around for 13+ years with no scams yet. Because Bitcoin is used in almost every country in the world and there are famous famous holders who have invested a lot of wealth in Bitcoin. Billions of people have invested billions of rupees in this Bitcoin.

As you can see by yourself, Shitcoins are usually not long-term. When a shitcoin hits the market it has a small amount of value but as it gets older it just goes towards dumping. And I have seen some coins disappear from the market.  FTX, LunaCoin, all these coins were once in good demand by the audience, but after the crash, thousands of people's assets were completely wiped out from the market. How to use Shitcoin as foreign remittance in a country.

While the energy sector is facing threats in other countries of the world, El Salvador, the country famous for the first Bitcoin City in the world, is making proper use of 100% renewable energy for Bitcoin mining. This is where the proper development plan of a country will encourage other countries of the world to implement the plan of using renewable energy and energy on Bitcoin mining. Moreover, the use of renewable energy and fuel for Bitcoin mining is unlikely to have a negative impact on the environment and climate change.

This is another development to El Salvador country that will make their miners to make more reward from their mining business to increase their wealth in the community, and many countries will like to take a good step to install such renewable energy on Bitcoin mining so that they will be able to experience the positive results the first country that made Bitcoin legal tender are enjoying. I believe El Salvador president will not allow anything to affect their environment and climate by bringing some equipments that will make the climate and the environment of their country to look cool and calm both the citizens and to allow miners to  have more Bitcoin to mine in the country.

But El Salvador is about to hold presidential elections, I am afraid that this project will not continue.
Do you really think the new president to be elected will not continue with the existing project? After Bukele has spent alot of money on the plant? I don't really think so. I think even if another president is elected he would still continue with the existing project because I know for sure that the project will have existing manpower or workers employed to control the facility. And that has also reduce unemployment rate for El savedor. So it will be unfair not to take over from the existing project.

I think the best thing that has happened to El Salvador is to make bitcoin there legal tender and they will never regret what dey have Done. After some years many country will try to mimic El Salvador. But by then bitcoin price would have been far far pump so high. I think it's time for many country to look into this project now, because bitcoin is only the hedges against inflation.
