A pair of high-ranking officials in El Salvador’s ruling party, Nuevas Ideas, took aim at critics who stand in opposition to the country’s forthcoming Bitcoin legal tender law on Tuesday.
The Finance Commission of the Legislative Assembly of El Salvador agreed Monday to create a $150 million Bitcoin trust to facilitate exchange between Bitcoin and U.S. dollars in El Salvador.
Small groups of protestors have taken to the streets one week before El Salvador adopts Bitcoin as legal currency. Protests against the Bitcoin law are becoming more common ahead of it taking effect on September 7th.
