“Many”?

actually, only two third world shiteholes have adopted bitcoin as their official national “currency”: El Salvador and the Central African Republic ...

no one actually accepts bitcoin in El Salvador except a couple of Popsicle stands, and the government lost its shirt when it bought bitcoin at its top (they’re now losing more shirts by buying additional bitcoin to “dollar cost average”)

Central African Republic is an even BIGGER joke since less than 10% of the population even has electricity ...

Actually, Fiji announced this week that they intend to make it legal tender. Also, on December 22, Brazil officially legalised payment in BTC in a new crypto regulatory framework. Retail adoption of BTC in Africa is rapidly growing, and South Africa’s largest retailer recently started accepting BTC payment. Ditto for McDonald’s in Switzerland in a trial run for potential worldwide rollout. If you’re sitting at home in Kansas, then you’ll be challenged to find such a retailer; however, if you’re in the UK, EU, S.E. Asia, or Africa, you’ll see the stickers all over the place.
