El Salvador's bitcoin rollout met with fights

Protestors lit something like one fire and set off firecrackers before the Supreme Court.

The public authority sent equipped police in San Salvador to control the groups.

Surveys show numerous Salvadorans concur that bitcoin isn't sufficiently steady.

Also, it might not have helped advocates when, prior on Tuesday, those keen on downloading the Bitcoin computerized wallet, called "Chivo" discovered it was inaccessible on well-known application stores.
