The world is about to change forever, as today is the last day on planet Earth where Bitcoin will not be legal tender currency somewhere. Because tomorrow, BTC officially becomes legal tender in El Salvador, marking a historic milestone in Bitcoin’s journey to become the world’s reserve currency.
To start using bitcoins in El Salvador, citizens will have the option to receive a free $ 30 BTC through the government’s Chivo wallet app. This is to encourage Salvadorans to go down from 0 and start using the hardest money in the world in their daily lives.
This has aroused a lot of excitement and excitement among Bitcoiners around the world who wish to participate in this event. Bitcoins tend to start and pick up trends very quickly, so I wasn’t surprised to see a giant thread of bitcoin from Reddit around the world coordinating the time on September 7 where everyone would buy their $ 30 at BTC to celebrate this benchmark success.

This trend spread like wildfire with people spreading the message across many different social media platforms, especially Twitter, where even the most shocking as MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor used their huge platform to ask people, “Will you come with me?” on the $ 30 purchase at BTC tomorrow. The post received thousands of likes, retweets and hundreds of comments from people who planned to participate in the event.
Many located on the famous Bitcoin beach in El Zonte, have already used bitcoin as a medium of exchange. Humans Rights Foundation strategy director Alex Gladstein is in El Zonte at the time of writing and has recently shown how easy it is to use BTC as a currency in this video where he pays for his coffee in bitcoin:
So, starting tomorrow, BTC will become legal tender and Bitcoiners around the world will be willing to welcome the people of El Salvador to Bitcoin. Coordination at events like this really demonstrates the camaraderie between people struggling in this monetary revolution with the goal of fixing money and thus fixing the world. This revolution is not being televised, but is being broadcast through specialized areas on social media.
