States are shitcoins

Im hoping the plan is to get this debt buy bitcoin where possible and then use the bitcoin as a financing collateral to pay off the IMF and just be free of it.

I believe this is a naive thought. You think IMF will let them do it? Again, very baive IMHO.

If we assume he is being forced to then theres no conversation to have. If he has a choice, then I assume he has a plan that makes reasonable sense.

i dont know a single government that is responsible enough to hold bitcoin. its for the cash flow & value creation positive only.

The empire strikes back.

Oh

Does El Salvador actually want these loans, or are they being forced to take them?

Bitcoiners could have easily loaned that

Bitcoin doesn’t care

Why haven't they done the volcano bonds in the end? Now it's over, no real Bitcoin will keep investing there.

Couldn’t he just do a memecoin scan like other presidents?

The world bank is the memecoin scam.

IMF stepping in with a $1.4B lifeline but tightening the reins on Bitcoin? El Salvador’s crypto experiment just got more complicated. Is this a necessary check for stability, or a setback for financial innovation? What do you all think.

1.4B is a popular number recently

Suggests Trump doesn't care much about, or understand bitcoin.

Any word from Max Keiser lately?

please just tell them to stick their loans up their asses, otherwise just another statist loser
