The other post on ElSalvador at the moment says that it would have been better in a slow and steady adoption and without the Chivo App Ponzi.
That sounds quite plausible to me but there probably is no way to know for sure - especially for someone like me who has never been there.

As an El Salvadorean, I would've downloaded the Chivo app, collected my $30, realized it was crap, and then downloaded Muun.
I'm not sure what the problem is. Is Chivo the main fiat on ramp? Are there ATMs widely available?

Slow and steady is actually how El Salvador’s Bitcoin adoption journey began. Organic adoption at Bitcoin Beach happened well before the Bitcoin Law came into effect.
I think of Chivo as an addition to their Bitcoin ecosystem, but by no means the only solution.
