    How does that even make sense? BTC improved El Salvadors financial situation, right?

    Only if you think the IMF loan is a good thing…it is literally a slave contract funding corrupt officials in the back of average citizens.

    tldr; The IMF is hesitant to issue new loans to El Salvador due to concerns over the country’s adoption of Bitcoin as legal tender. IMF Communications Director Julie Kozack emphasized that addressing Bitcoin-related risks is crucial in ongoing loan negotiations. El Salvador’s credibility with the IMF is vital for refinancing its debts, but the IMF remains skeptical of Bitcoin’s volatility and its role in national finances. Despite some progress, El Salvador has not fully met the IMF’s requirements in discussions led by President Nayib Bukele.
