The IMF is insisting that El Salvador should reconsider the country's policy on Bitcoin for them to secure a $1.4 billion loan. Negotiations about the loan have been stalled because of El Salvador's pro-Bitcoin policy. According to the IMF's communications director Julie Kozack, El Salvador has to revisit and amend its Bitcoin policy for negotiation to progress. For two years El Salvador President Nayib Bukele has resisted this pressure and it seems he is not willing to back down on the country's pro-Bitcoin policy. He sees this pressure as a calculated strategy to undermine the country's monetary sovereignty. By tying loans and grants to changes in El Salvador's Bitcoin law, the IMF is showcasing how it influences the economic policies of developing nations.
Because I read some news related to bitcoin developments in El Salvador. And in a news article I read, I was very interested in what a figure who expressed his opinion about Bitcoin in El Salvador thought. The person said that El Salvador's debt to the IMF can definitely be paid if bitcoin reaches a price of $100K. This was stated by one venture capitalist
So the point is that right now Nayib Bukele must remain steadfast in his goal of making bitcoin successful in El Salvador. Because if Nayib Bukele remains strong in maintaining this goal over a long period of time (bitcoin adoption), I also believe that El Salvador will definitely become a very developed country. However, I believe that Nayib Bukele is a leader who is very committed to what he has started. So he will definitely not be influenced by the advice given by the IMF.
