NY Post
El Salvador on Wednesday officially became the first country to adopt bitcoin as legal tender.
President Nayib Bukele announced on Twitter just after 2 a.m. ET that the Central American country’s legislative body voted in favor of the so-called Bitcoin Law — making the digital currency the nation’s official legal tender, along with the US Dollar. The law received 62 out of 84 votes, according to Bukele, Latin America’s youngest president.More Related News
