People know that El Salvador took a big risk when it made Bitcoin legal cash. Right now, the country wants to teach 80,000 government workers how to get Bitcoin licenses. This is part of the government’s plan to make Bitcoin a part of the economy and government of the country. They want their workers to know how to handle Bitcoin rules and make sure they are followed.
The course, which is called “Certification in Public Administration 1,” is made up of seven shorter courses that take 160 hours to complete. You will learn a lot of different things in these lessons, like the laws that guide Bitcoin, how to handle your strategy, and how to use it as legal money. It’s the goal to teach government workers the knowledge and skills they need to handle and use Bitcoin well in the public sector.
To run this training program, President Nayib Bukele created the Higher School of Innovation in Public Administration (ESIAP) in August 2021. To improve the quality of government in El Salvador, the program teaches people how to use Bitcoin and other new tools.
That the licensing program would be helpful in the long run, according to Stacy Herbert, head of the National Bitcoin Office (ONBTC). She believes that teaching government workers about Bitcoin will improve El Salvador’s business and make the country successful in the digital currency world. Herbert says these projects are very important for the future of Bitcoin and El Salvador’s tech rules.
Roberto Silva, executive director of Argentina’s CNV, said it was very important to get along with El Salvador. He said that Argentina is thinking about reaching a legal agreement to work with another country so that both can learn from each other’s Bitcoin knowledge and experience. This would be especially helpful for fixing economies that are having trouble because of hyperinflation.
It changes the way El Salvador’s government works and sets an example for other countries that want to explore the possibilities of digital currencies.
