The IMF states that the success of a currency is based on factors such as its reliability, stability, liquidity, acceptability and usability. Bitcoin is not considered a reliable currency by the IMF because it does not fully meet these criteria.

The rejection of Bitcoin by the IMF does not have a direct consequence for Bitcoin users, but it may make it harder for Bitcoin to be accepted in international financial systems. This could limit the use of Bitcoin and have negative consequences, such as other countries banning or regulating Bitcoin.

Moreover, the IMF's stance does not mean that other countries may also refrain from adopting Bitcoin or turn to other cryptocurrencies. Therefore, the use and adoption of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies will move forward with ongoing discussion and regulatory initiatives, so in short, there is nothing to worry about yet.
