Okay, so the actual source seems to Douglas Rodriguez who is the President of the Central Reserve Bank of El Salvador https://twitter.com/douglas_rdzf
The reason this source matters, is because the government of El Salvador could be saying things just to make them look good. Something like confirmation from chainanlysis or perhaps just time will tell a better story.

It's good to be skeptical. Which tweet exactly from Douglas says this? I had a scroll and couldn't find it.

So in the tweet you have to click a link to the media broadcaster who did the interview and on their twitter, they have a YouTube video in Spanish: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrHAqDONvTg
Hold on, I'm gonna look for a translation solution

The interviewer's name is Jose but the transcript says Joyce. I had to chuckle.

It was automatically transcribed and google translated. Would have paid way more for a manual transcriber and translator.

I admire those trying to get to the source of the information. Regardless of whether true, this has to 10x at least in the near future to be note-worthy.

Compare this to sending money with Western Union in El Salvador
Maximum principal send amount is 7,500 USD or local equivalent per transaction. All send money transfers are subject to a 13% tax on charges. Senders must provide valid identification.
El Salvador’s new bitcoin plan could cost money providers like Western Union and others $400 million a year, says President Bukele
