> The experiment is voluntary.
This is an example of how the current El Salvador's government writes something in the law, and then changes the meaning (sometimes to the opposite interpretation) by means of a tweet, an interview or pushing a narrative through its propaganda machine, without actually changing the original law.
Bitcoin law states is compulsory, the first government communication was that it was "compulsory", but then the official narrative changed to voluntary as the price decreased.
Quoting Bitcoin Law:
Article 7. Every economic agent MUST accept bitcoin as a payment method if offered by the acquirer of a good or service.
I remember reading something similar in a quite famous book:
“The past was alterable. The past never had been altered. Oceania was at war with Eastasia. Oceania had always been at war with Eastasia.”
