We're busting myths about El Salvador's Bitcoin experiment

El Salvador has lost $50-60M on its Bitcoin investments after becoming the first nation to adopt it as legal tender. Critics point out the move's supposed failure, but a "fact-finding" trip from a US official found it is helping rural businesses and unbanked street vendors. El Salvador has seen more economic activity since adopting Bitcoin: a 52% jump in tourist income and a 7% growth in employment.
