El Salvador has become the first country to make bitcoin legal tender, which President Nayib Bukele hailed as a historic step towards financial inclusion and economic growth for the poor Central American nation.
萨尔瓦多成为第一个让比特币成为法定货币的国家，该国总统纳伊布•布克莱(Nayib Bukele)称赞这是这个贫穷的中美洲国家迈向金融包容和经济增长的历史性一步。
The country’s legislature, which Bukele controls, passed the bill with 62 of 84 possible votes on Wednesday. “History!” the 39-year-old authoritarian head of state wrote on Twitter.
周三，由布克莱控制的该国立法机构以62票——总共84票——通过了该法案。这位39岁的专制国家元首在Twitter上写道：“历史的一刻！”
Bitcoin entrepreneurs were thrilled by the decision in a country where 70 per cent of Salvadorans do not have access to traditional financial services. Analysts were cautious given cryptocurrency’s volatility, and some said it could even put a pending IMF programme at risk.
比特币企业家对萨尔瓦多的这一决定感到兴奋，这个国家有70%的国民无法获得传统金融服务。鉴于加密货币的波动性，分析师们持谨慎态度，而且一些分析师表示这甚至可能让国际货币基金组织(IMF)一项未决的计划面临风险。
