They’re more likely to use a stablecoin and those don’t use Bitcoin.

I checked the internet and it seems el salvador uses bitcoin while in lebanon there is a mix of bitcoin + Lightning and Tether.

Tether is investing in US Bonds but 10% seem to be Bitcoin.

The El Salvador government bought Bitcoin and promoted it, but the reports I’ve seen suggest that ordinary people and businesses don’t use it much.
