Bank of America believes El Salvador’s adoption of Bitcoin can increase national disposable income

According to U.Today August 1, Bank of America (Bank of America) believes that Bitcoin can provide some key opportunities for El Salvador. The bank claims that the introduction of the world’s largest cryptocurrency may reduce the cost of remittances, which account for nearly a quarter of the country’s GDP. In turn, this may greatly increase the disposable income of Salvadorans. Another advantage is that it can provide banking services to people who do not have a bank account. According to statistics, currently about 70% of El Salvador’s citizens cannot use bank accounts. Finally, El Salvador can attract foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows by becoming a major Bitcoin mining center in countries such as Iceland.
