“# Salvadorans will not be forced to use the government’s Bitcoin wallet <\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

The latest announcement from El Salvador’s pro-Bitcoin president, Nayib Bukele, has clarified that citizens will not be forced to use the government-issued \u201cChivo\u201d Bitcoin wallet.<\/p>\n

In a tweet on June 29, El Salvador\u2019s President Bukele stated he wanted to clear up any misinformation regarding the government\u2019s wallet app<\/a>lication following the passing of the country\u2019s Bitcoin law\u00a0on June 9, which will take effect on September 7.<\/p>\n

The new Bitcoin wallet is called Chivo, which is slang for \u201ccool\u201d in El Salvador, and it can hold both Bitcoin and U.S. dollars. Bukele stated it is just one of many crypto wallets that can be used, emphasizing its interoperability with other wallet apps.<\/p>\n

1. La wallet del Gobierno solo es una de tantas wallets que se pueden usar. <\/p>\n

2. La @chivowallet<\/a> ser\u00e1 totalmente compatible con otras wallets.<\/p>\n
