Salvadorans Protest Against Legalization of Bitcoin

Thousands of protesters have taken to the streets in El Salvador, to protest against the introduction of Bitcoin as its legal tender.

President Nayib Bukele says the virtual currency will help Salvadorans working abroad to send money back home.

But demonstrators fear it will bring instability and inflation to the impoverished Latin American country.

Last week, El Salvador became the first country to use virtual currency as a legal tender, alongside the US dollar.
