Is El Salvador's $1 Million Bitcoin Visa Program Changing How People Get Citizenship? 💳
El Salvador launched a unique $1 million Freedom #Visa program tied to Bitcoin, attracting hundreds of inquiries and dozens of applications within days of its December 7 launch.
The initiative offers residency and a citizenship pathway to 1,000 individuals donating $1 million in Bitcoin or Tether.
Despite criticism of its price compared to other programs, El Salvador's National Bitcoin Office defends it as reasonable, emphasizing the nation's pro-Bitcoin #policies .
President Nayib Bukele's initiatives, including recognizing Bitcoin as #legal tender and removing taxes for Bitcoin investors and tech firms, might lure prospective applicants despite the high cost.
