El Salvador’s Bitcoin Shenanigans Exposed

So, it turns out El Salvador’s been fibbing about their Bitcoin buying spree πŸ€‘. The IMF just spilled the tea, saying their Chivo wallet hasn’t been purchasing new Bitcoin like they claimed πŸ€₯.

The IMF was all like, “Hold up, guys, your Bitcoin balance is still the same πŸ€”,” despite El Salvador’s Bitcoin Office being all, “We’re buying BTC daily, y’all! πŸ“ˆ” The discrepancies in their wallet reserves are just a result of some creative accounting 🎨, not actual Bitcoin purchases.

The findings were confirmed in a letter from El Salvador’s central bank and finance ministry, which was like, “Okay, fine, we’ll tone down our Bitcoin antics πŸŽ‰.” They promised to reduce government involvement in the Bitcoin project, scale back their role in the Chivo wallet, and make BTC adoption voluntary πŸ™.

Tensions between El Salvador and the IMF got spicy πŸ”₯ earlier this year when President Nayib Bukele was all, “You can’t tell us what to do! 😀” and continued buying BTC despite international pressure. But it seems the IMF is now calling out their bluff πŸ“.

The IMF’s latest disclosure has raised some eyebrows πŸ€” and cast doubt on El Salvador’s Bitcoin accumulation claims. Transparency and compliance, guys! It’s a thing πŸ“š.
