Perhaps El Salvador has a different definition of legal tender, but if not, this is sucky. Legal Tender is generally a means you cannot refuse for debt repayment. For buying etc. you can accept or refuse just about anything, in most/many places, but for settling debt, legal tender cannot be refused.<p>So I'm just some guy. Someone owes me money and says, nah I'll repay it with Bitcoin. Not only is that mega-volatile, most people have no idea how to use it. Also it's easy to fall for a scam if you don't know how it works.<p>And further, you can typically accept <i>anything</i> as debt repayment if you so like. Cash, art, pretty shells, or indeed, Bitcoin. Making it legal tender actually funnels people into <i>having</i> to accept Bitcoin.
