100 sats \ 24 replies \ @Lux 26 Apr \ parent \ on: Last year I "laundered" 100M sats through LN bitcoin
as is not is
If something is as something else, it's not that thing
As most certainly is is, for as means that IT IS of a particular form that is being stated
No different from if the IRS says something IS treated AS something else, the IS is implicitly there along with the AS, it cannot be separated
Not that it matters because what they say IS NONSENSE regardless
En el modo o la manera que, del modo o la manera que. U. sin antecedente expreso. Arreglé la mesa como me explicaron.

we are talking about law, it's very clear.
on dollar bills says "this note is legal tender", not this can be used as lt
reply
It is very clear:
Regulación del bitcoin como moneda de curso legal
That text in Spanish is very clear if you're a Spanish native speaker.
It says "Regulation of Bitcoin as legal tender".
reply
yep, it's clear.
i don't know what you are no getting.
where in the law says "Bitcoin is legal tender"?
It's an impossibility, the law would be null and void
reply
Exactly. Bitcoin cannot be legal tender, because legal tender means discharging debt with another financial instrument.
Bitcoin cannot be that. Only fiat can be legal tender.
But yeah many people have this misconception in their mind that legal tender means legal money or something like that.
They literally do not know what is money and what is legal tender.

https://www.diariooficial.gob.sv/seleccion/30534 page 13 and 14:
Art 4: Todas las contribuciones tributarias podran ser pagadas en bitcoin
Art 7: Todo agente economico debera aceptar bitcoin como forma de pago cuando asi le sea ofrecido por quien adquiere un bien o servicio
Art 13: Todas las obligaciones en dinero expresadas en dolares, existentes con anterioridad a la vigencia de la presente ley, podran ser pagadas en Bitcoin
Etc...
The law says you can pay debts with Bitcoin.
reply
is can same as must?
reply
Legal tender is a form of money that courts of law are required to recognize as satisfactory payment for any monetary debt.
After this law passed in El Salvador, the courts of law there are required to recognize Bitcoin payments as satisfactory payment for any monetary debt.
You have the option to pay it with USD or Bitcoin if you want in El Salvador, as both are considered legal tender there.
It's right there on page 13 of the official document: https://www.diariooficial.gob.sv/seleccion/30534
On Article 1 it literally says that this law regulates Bitcoin as legal tender, and then goes into the exact details of what that means in the next articles...
