Exactly. If people actually read the article they’d see this isn’t bullish for Bitcoin at all. Russia is actively trying to stamp out Bitcoin by doing this. More countries will do this to prevent the “crowd funding” of “dissidents” against the ruling class. #bitcoin

Not too long ago, we revealed that El Salvador responded to the IMF following their urge for the nation to drop Bitcoin as legal tender.

We reported earlier that El Salvador made headlines when the president decided to make Bitcoin legal tender in the country.

The global institution mentioned above noted that BTC’s use as legal tender is posing risks to the country’s financial stability, integrity, and consumer protection.

CoinDesk just noted that the executive board of the International Monetary Fund recommended that El Salvador discontinue the use of bitcoin (BTC) as legal tender in the country due to the financial risks and liabilities that are created.

Now, it’s been revealed that President Nayib Bukele is responding to the International Monetary Fund’s (IMF) warning that El Salvador should remove the legal tender status of Bitcoin (BTC) with a meme.

“I see you, IMF. That’s very nice.”

At the moment of writing this article, BTC is trading in the green and the king coin is priced at $43,786.
