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.

We're at the "then they fight you" part of the story 💪
I am pretty sure they are not so dumb to give him 1.4bn, only if he retracts bitcoin policies to then permit him to buy with those. He is not Saylor asking debt to investor so he can buy btc.

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