When El Salvador's new Bitcoin law takes effect on September 7, it wants to establish its own digital wallet and offer $30 worth of Bitcoins to every person who joins up. It has also enlisted the help of Athena, a US-based company, to install 1,500 bitcoin ATMs around the country. El Salvador's President, Nayid Bukele, says a "dirty campaign" is disseminating disinformation about the country's new direction.
