Capture and control of Bitcoin as a speculative commodity under US institutional custody preserves and protects the MoE hegemony of the USD. El Salvadors acceptance of Bitcoin as a currency was/is a threat to USD hegemony and the El Salvador governments accumulation of a Bitcoin stack could potentially have enabled a gradual decoupling from USD denominated trade payments. The IMF debt obligations appear to reduce the risk of that. No reason to throw El Salvador out of SWIFT as long as all El Salvador trade payments remain denominated in USD - it remains a model of USD tribute.
