Honduras past push to make Bitcoin legal 

洪都拉斯过去推动比特币合法化

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，该经济区的决定是在此前有传言称洪都拉斯即将批准比特币作为法定货币之后作出的。人们普遍猜测该国可能会追随萨尔瓦多的脚步承认比特币的合法性。

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，洪都拉斯中央银行发表声明，驳斥了该国宣布比特币合法的消息。该机构在声明中警告不要在支付场景中使用比特币等加密货币，并强调此类交易缺乏法律支持。
