Opponents of Bitcoin legalization began to destroy newly installed Chivo crypto ATMs.
Radical protesters wearing T-shirts with the words “No to Bitcoin” set fire to one of the two hundred Bitcoin ATMs Chivo in the capital of San Salvador.
Most of the so-called Chivo kiosks did not work after the law came into force due to technical problems. Chivo Wallet was overwhelmed by the huge number of people wanting to get $30 bonus in BTC.
The main initiator of the use of cryptocurrency, Bukele, admitted that the introduction of cryptocurrencies into the financial infrastructure was too fast and required more planning. However, he criticized the protesters, calling them vandals.
