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.
