Despite these warnings, El Salvador has pushed forward, unveiling plans for “Bitcoin City” and issuing Bitcoin-backed bonds. This move has sparked both admiration and criticism, as the country continues to chart its own path in the global financial landscape, diverging from traditional economic institutions.
