(Natural News) It is being reported that hundreds of people in El Salvador are unable to access Bitcoin in their centralized, government-issued "Chivo" Wallets.

The unconfirmed reports are circulating on Twitter, where numerous users say that their non-private wallets have been tampered with by government officials.

"This is what happens when you let corrupt and greedy politicians have full control over your funds," tweeted an account called "Mr. Whale," suggesting that all cryptocurrency should be held in private wallets far away from government intrusion.

The same Mr. Whale account showed some of the complaints that have been received (most of them are in Spanish). There are many upset people who want to know what is going on.

"No comment from El Salvador's government, but the president still has me blocked," complained the Mr. Whale account. "Sad."

Chivo's official account hasn't tweeted in two months

The Chivo Wallet was first introduced by the Salvadorian government in an effort to promote the adoption of Bitcoin throughout the country.

Public funds were used to create the wallet, however the last time its official Twitter account tweeted was back on November 3.
