El Salvador citizens who are against Bitcoin, hundreds of people marched in San Salvador over the government's plans to accept Bitcoin as legal currency.
Citizens were worried that their salaries would be paid in Bitcoin instead of dollars.
Stanley Quinteros, a labor union member who took part in the action, said:
“We know that this cryptocurrency has high volatility. Its value changes every second and we have no control over it.”
Another point of concern for the citizens of El Salvador is that they do not know the technology to use Bitcoin.
