On the other hand, it’s strange that the IMF demonizes BTC so aggressively, while other assets like gold don’t cause such a reaction. If a country wants to hold part of its reserves in BTC that’s also a form of diversification. Especially considering that many countries have lost trust in the dollar as the sole reserve asset.
Maybe it’s not just about economics, but also geopolitics? Because Bitcoin is something that isn’t controlled by traditional institutions, and that scares them.
Simply because that is not the goal of IMF. IMF’s purpose is to try to provide aid to countries that needs it the most and to help them with their economic growth where possible. Bitcoin, or any other form of investments, ie. precious metals are not meant to simulate economic growth in the long term.
If you require aids and loans, you have better priorities than to be stacking sats. Don’t act like the victim when you’re called out for it. Of course, there are no issues when developed countries like the US proposes it.
