@Car
From Port Harcourt, Nigeria watching this — we are also under IMF programs.
If IMF waives El Salvador's BTC breach after paying $138M, does this set precedent for other Global South countries? And was that $138M conditional on them slowing BTC buys, or is IMF admitting the bet worked?
Question for live @Car @k00b.
