- Summary:
- "In early September 2021, El Salvador became the first nation to adopt the cryptocurrency Bitcoin as legal tender, in a move that the country's president says will help modernize its financial infrastructure. But the adoption pushed many citizens to the streets in protest, saying that Bitcoin would remain inaccessible to a large part of the country and would primarily benefit wealthy investors. With Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies climbing in popularity and mainstream acceptance, El Salvador's adoption may be examined as a test case for other nations considering a similar move. This short case asks students to weigh the risks and benefits of Bitcoin as a legal tender"-- Provided by publisher.
