El Salvador ain't using bitcoin.
That is very interesting...and surprising. I don't expect the mainstream media to get the details right of any tech story, but I hadn't seen that there is a Gov controlled layer running a private blockchain, that's 100% different to what's been reported 😠

Just have to look at the correct news. Google returns https://cryptosrus.com/breaking-el-salvador-banks-are-using-wrapped-bitcoin-on-algorand-to-transact/.
I would say that's credible, since Micali really went to Central and South America according to his twitter account.
Or directly from Algorand's website: https://www.algorand.com/resources/...lop-its-blockchain-infrastructure-on-algorand.
