The note about the public sector would be worrying if they could actually enforce it. But they can't because Bitcoin is P2P. Just kicking the can down the road to the inevitable. The IMF is at the behest El Salvador because of Bitcoin. This is the IMF holding on for dear life to the dollar. El Salvador can use the money to grow their operation even more while the dollar dies even more slowly. I'm still optimistic.
IMF Press release for El Salvador. This is insane. Big loss for Bitcoin in El Salvador.
This is nothing like the "shops just don't have to accept Bitcoin anymore" that everybody thought it was. Read this.
