Only four of 10 Salvadorans who downloaded the state-run bitcoin (BTC) wallet Chivo said they still use it after obtaining the $30 bitcoin incentive dangled by President Nayib Bukele’s government, according to a report published by the U.S. National Bureau of Economic Research.
“Most users who used Chivo after spending the $30 bonus do not engage with the app intensively,” said the study, based on face-to-face surveys that took place in February with adults in 1,800 households across El Salvador.Source: Six of 10 Salvadorans Quit Using the Chivo Wallet After Getting the Bitcoin Incentive, Study Finds
In the video below you can check what the Salvadorans perception about BTC as a legal tender nowadays.
What is salvadorans opinion about BTC as legal tender
EDIT: IMO the solution instead directly give the USD30 after registration, those USD 30 should be given as a prize after completing some task (Like a learning course through the app) In that way people could have the opportunity to learn and earn.
Discussion: If a government wants to have crypto as a legal tender, what do you think should be the right way to promote and incentive the population to use it in a daily basis?
