Skeptics don't understand hedges. If only usd are legal tender with no alternative you're beholden to the country that issues usd. If there's an alternative even a global shock can be absorbed immediately. It sets el Salvador up to restart its own currency without having to hope on usd politics not getting in the way. It's just a hedge, there's nothing scary about el salvadora "bet", it's actually a contingency plan.
