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.
