The Zimbabwe dollar will remain the only currency in the hyperinflation-stricken country.
On Nov. 7, local news portal Bulawayo24 reported that the Zimbabwean government had had discussions with private sector players about making crypto legal tender.
The report was then picked up by some cryptocurrency news outlets and was shared by major crypto influencers.
El Salvador, a small tropical country in Central America, made history earlier this year by adopting Bitcoin as its official currency.
Other countries, however, are yet to follow suit. Last month, Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador definitely ruled out adopting the flagship coin as an official currency. Source

actually whatever the zimbahwe government does to be able to adopt or not bitcoin as a legal currency is the authority of the government. because they know the situation in their country's economy. maybe it is always possible to pay attention to all aspects before actually taking the action taken, so it doesn't have to be instant.

but if only could accept crypto trading, it would be a separate progress made by the Zimbabwean government, because after all crypto is unavoidable that it is a necessity because technology continues to develop.

nor do have to follow other countries such as elsavador whose government is ready to adopt bitcoin to be used as legal tender. because every country certainly has a way of thinking that can be different because of the economy and readiness to accept bitcoin.
