Honduras past push to make Bitcoin legal 

洪都拉斯過去推動比特幣合法化

It is worth noting that the economic zone’s decision came after previous rumors circulated that Honduras was on the verge of approving Bitcoin as legal tender. Speculations were rampant that the country might follow in the footsteps of El Salvador in acknowledging the legality of Bitcoin.

值得注意的是，該經濟區的決定是在先前有傳言稱洪都拉斯即將批准比特幣作為法定貨幣之後作出的。人們普遍猜測該國可能會追隨薩爾瓦多的腳步承認比特幣的合法性。

Interestingly, in 2022, the Central Bank of Honduras released a statement refuting the news that the country had declared Bitcoin legal. In the statement, the institution cautioned against using cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin in payment scenarios, emphasizing the lack of legal backing for such transactions.

有趣的是，2022年，洪都拉斯中央銀行發表聲明，駁斥了該國宣布比特幣合法的消息。該機構在聲明中警告不要在支付場景中使用比特幣等加密貨幣，並強調此類交易缺乏法律支援。
