Wheals are now pumping btc everywhere good news are coming. I think bear is tired now bull start the next really.

'adopting bitcoin'
vs
'allowing bitcoin as a remittance vehicle'

are two different things
if its just used for remittance. then most people dont care if its a western union database or bitcoin. all they see is fiat at both ends.

true adoption is the ability to buy produce/pay bills using a different currency

Its one step, Being recognize as a legal tender even for a small country is a big thing for bitcoin. But until we see bitcoin being used as way to pay for goods and services in real life scenario, its still way far behind towards adoption.

I agree that Tonga will eventually adopt Bitcoin as a legal tender. why not? they are quite easy to control where the population is not as much as other countries. they could enforce the rules if the government was not in big debt to the central bank. Moreover, there is a crypto community there, it will clearly simplify policy.

Not really sure about the left behind part. It's not like other countries never use bitcoin. In fact, the market is probably more mature and the infrastructure to support the network is far greater than those small countries. Well, it's good news if more and more people use and adopt crypto/bitcoin anyway.

I believe that underdeveloped nations should actually adopt Bitcoin and blockchain technology in masses. This will provide the citizens of these nations to also earn at the same level as that of developed nations in certain activities while having lower expenses in their home countries. This will help these people to generate wealth and expenses on education, infrastructure development and other necessities.

Also, on a separate note, most of the colonists in the last century should take up the responsibility to restore and create resources for their respective colonies that they looted during the colonial era.

Would be nice but notice that Tonga has a population of 100k. Now, compare that with El Salvador with a population of 6 million... 60 times more population.

Does it even matter how many people they have, if they are countries that most people don't even know how to find on a world map? It's a drop of water in the ocean, no matter how important it is - although you could say that every journey starts with the smallest step.

What many forget is that any decision can be revoked, and El Salvador has already found itself under pressure from financial vultures who will do everything possible to make this experiment of theirs fail. The only question is how much they want it and how much influence they have on the president - that is, do they know some dirty secret they can blackmail him with - or will the US send its democracy promoters (special forces) to knock on his door in the middle of the night.

While this good news is welcoming to all, it seems that only Bitcoin has been gaining a bit while the altcoins are on a free fall (recently BTC falls as well to $35k). I believe this will be just a short term downfall because of the weekend sale, so whether if it’s gonna be promising or not, there’s a good chance that the price may go up again a bit within the consolidation range.

They are much aware on what are the risk and there were lots of discussions happened before they do end up this kind of decision which is really very unusual for a country to do so knowing that Crypto or simple Bitcoin is something that cant really be just easily adoption fully because of some properties or characteristics of it
but they did really took out that risk and make out some considerations instead and they are trying  out despite out of those criticisms got by bitcoin.
Any news of adoption is always be a good news and we would be seeing similar news as we go ahead.
