The president of El Salvador has declared bitcoin “legal tender”, allowing it to be used as an official form of currency in the country. President Nayib Bukele is the first world leader to formally adopt bitcoin or any other decentralised cryptocurrency and emphasised his enthusiasm for the digital currency by adding “laser eyes” to his Twitter profile picture. El Salvador is a largely cash economy.
