Bitcoin nation?
Paraguayan is very likely to become the first country in South America and the second country worldwide to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender after El Salvador if the Paraguayan congress successfully passes the Bitcoin law.
El Salvador has approved and announced to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender, effective from September 7, as the Latin American country, passed the Bitcoin law since June. Yet, more than three-quarters of Salvadorans are remaining cautious and sceptical towards adopting this emerging fiat money.
Voices concern if Paraguay could successfully facilitate Bitcoin to reform its monetary policy.
