Being the first doesn't mean being on the top all the time. Do you remember the name of the first social network? Of the first mobile phone producer? Of the first online store? Hardly. So to stay on the top there is a lot of work to do. And luckily El Salvador's government understands that. They are not stopping with being satisfied with being the first, they work hard to achieve more and get as much of the situation as only possible. History remembers the winners and not the first, and the first stay in memory only if the first is the winner.
The government had prioritised bitcoin education which is the best thing that need to be done to make the public make use of bitcoin in an effective manner. For school children text books were launched, diploma programs were started. More such activities will surely make people use bitcoin with ease than the credit card and debit cards.
