There have not been “mass” protests. They have been quite small. And a large chunk of those protestors are countryside people paid by US funded NGOs. I’ve been to ES multiple times recently. The fact is most people there are ambivalent about Bitcoin and don’t have a strong opinion about it.
> SAN SALVADOR, Sept 2 (Reuters) - Most Salvadorans disagree with the government's decision to adopt bitcoin as legal tender, with many unaware of how to use the digital currency and distrustful of the project, a poll by the Central American University (UCA) showed on Thursday.
> At least 67.9% of 1,281 people surveyed said they disagree or strongly disagree with the use of bitcoin as a legal tender, said the poll by UCA, a Jesuit university based in El Salvador. Just over 32% of people said they agree on some level.
Seems the majority of people disagree with this action.

That's a broad claim, of which I don't find any evidence. Do you have references here?
