It is not fair to say that El Salvador is lying about something when it comes to one man and the ruling party who lead the country and decide on everything. Therefore, the title of this topic should have been
"Is Bukele lying to the world?"Even if he is lying and the IMF is telling the truth, I wonder why anyone outside that country would wonder whether it is true or not? The past 5 years have clearly shown that Bitcoin cannot fix decades of failed political decisions, bribery, corruption and rampant crime that led to tens of thousands of people ending up in prisons, which, as someone has already said, are more like concentration camps than prisons.
El Salvador is an embarrassment to the whole world. To many, bitcoin stands for freedom. But for El. Salvador it just served as a bridge to connect it with the US's establishment.

It served the so-called Tether Boys and some other Americans like Samson Mow, Simon Dixon, Max Keiser and his wife Stacy Herbert to turn the country into their profit-making training ground. Apparently, in that country, they all have a special status when they ride around in military helicopters while at the same time the poverty rate is rising and Bukele has managed to put the country in debt for an additional $11 billion.
