儘管IMF的

薩爾瓦多（El Salvador）對比特幣（BTC）的創新方法自2021年以來一直是辯論的中心，當時拉丁美洲國家成為全球第一個製作BTC法律招標的國家。

El Salvador’s bold move to adopt Bitcoin (BTC) has been a subject of much discussion since 2021, when the Central American nation became the first in the world to introduce the cryptocurrency as legal tender. Despite its journey being filled with ups and downs, Bitcoin has brought a considerable amount of tourism, contributing towards education & increasing national security.

自2021年以來，薩爾瓦多大膽採用比特幣（BTC）的舉動一直是討論的主題，當時中美洲國家成為世界上第一個將加密貨幣引入法定招標的人。儘管它的旅程充滿了起伏，但比特幣帶來了相當多的旅遊業，為教育和增加國家安全做出了貢獻。

However, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has requested El Salvador to wind down its Bitcoin purchases.

但是，國際貨幣基金組織（IMF）已要求埃爾·薩爾瓦多（El Salvador）放下其比特幣購買。

The regulatory body stated on Friday that “Going forward, program commitments will confine government engagement in Bitcoin-related economic activities, as well as government transactions in and purchases of Bitcoin”, referencing their $3.5 billion financing deal with El Salvador, freshly signed last month by both parties.

監管機構在周五表示：“展望未來，計劃承諾將局限於政府參與與比特幣相關的經濟活動，政府對比特幣的交易和購買”，並參考了他們與埃爾·薩爾瓦多（El Salvador）的35億美元融資協議，並在上個月由雙方簽署了上個月。

I feel like the fact that the IMF is forcing El Salvador to stop its Bitcoin adoption should be bigger news

我覺得IMF迫使El Salvador停止採用比特幣的事實應該是更大的新聞

Zero coverage in the mainstream economic media but think of the simple implication:

主流經濟媒體中的零覆蓋範圍，但要考慮一個簡單的含義：

The IMF considers Bitcoin a threat

國際貨幣基金組織認為比特幣是威脅

No longer useless, but revolutionary

不再毫無用處，而是革命性

The international financial regulator is also trying to enforce amendments on El Salvador’s BTC status as legal tender, arguing that actual Bitcoin adoption in the country has been “marginal”.

國際金融監管機構還試圖對薩爾瓦多（El Salvador）的BTC身份進行修正，認為該國實際採用比特幣是“邊際”的。

Bukele All In On Bitcoin: “No, it’s Not Stopping”

Bukele都在比特幣上：“不，它沒有停止”

In a courageous tweet on Tuesday evening, El Salvador’s re-elected President Nayib Bukele mocked the IMF’s harsh stance on the country’s Bitcoin purchases.

在周二晚上的一條勇敢的推文中，埃爾·薩爾瓦多（El Salvador）再次當選總統納伊布·布克勒（Nayib Bukele）嘲笑了國際貨幣基金組織對該國比特幣購買的嚴厲立場。

“This all stops in April.” “This all stops in June.” “This all stops in December.” No, it’s not stopping.” Showing off the recent 13 BTC acquired over the past 7 days, the treasury made $1,123,252 in unrealized profit from this purchase so far.

“這一切都在四月停止。” “這一切都在六月停止。” “這一切都在12月停止。”不，這不會停止。”在過去的7天中，展示了最近的13個BTC，迄今為止，該國庫從這次購買中獲得了1,123,252美元的未實現利潤。

Then, the Millennial President concluded that Proof of Work (PoW) consensus, on which crypto’s flagship asset is based, is certainly better than “proof of whining”. The message features a screenshot of El Salvador’s Bitcoin treasury, a strategic reserve unveiled to the public in March, 2024.

然後，千禧一代總統得出結論，加密旗艦資產所基於的工作證明（POW）共識肯定比“抱怨證明”更好。該消息的特色是薩爾瓦多的比特幣財政部的屏幕截圖，這是2024年3月向公眾推出的戰略儲備。

Pledging to buy a Bitcoin a day to keep the inflation away since November 18, 2022, El Salvador’s Nayib Bukele made a profit of $33,460,810 from this Dollar Cost Average (DCA) strategy. Cumulatively, El Salvador’s Bitcoin strategic reserve now boasts a gigantic return of $138,735,660, bumping the total balance to nearly $545 million, according to

自2022年11月18日以來，承諾每天購買比特幣，以使通貨膨脹率遠離，埃爾·薩爾瓦多（El Salvador）的Nayib Bukele從這筆美元平均成本（DCA）策略中獲利了33,460,810美元。累積地，薩爾瓦多的比特幣戰略儲備現在擁有138,735,660美元的巨額回報，總餘額達到了近5.45億美元。

On The Flipside

在另一面

Recently, blockchain adoption assessments in Southeast Asian nations like Vietnam, Thailand, and the Philippines revealed low scores in macroeconomic and fiscal stats.

最近，越南，泰國和菲律賓等東南亞國家的區塊鏈採用評估顯示，宏觀經濟和財政統計數據得分較低。

This lack of integration hinders a smooth transition from traditional to digital finance, as Bitcoin operations can be reflected in macroeconomic and fiscal stats.

缺乏集成阻礙了從傳統金融到數字融資的平穩過渡，因為比特幣運營可以反映在宏觀經濟和財政統計中。

What To Watch Next

接下來要看什麼

The cooperation between the IMF and El Salvador will continue in the coming months to review and adjust the program as needed, taking into account new developments and changing economic circumstances.

IMF和El Salvador之間的合作將在接下來的幾個月中繼續，以考慮新的發展和不斷變化的經濟環境，根據需要審查和調整該計劃。

As part of the new program, the international lender has urged the Salvadoran government to gradually wind down the use of the Chivo crypto e-wallet, which was launched in September 2021 to facilitate bitcoin transactions.

作為新計劃的一部分，國際貸方敦促薩爾瓦多政府逐漸降低使用Chivo Crypto E-Wallet的使用，該款式於2021年9月推出，以促進比特幣交易。

After a turbulent three years of engaging with the IMF to secure a $1.3 billion loan, El Salvador finally secured a $3.5 billion financing deal with the lender.

在與國際貨幣基金組織（IMF）訂購了13億美元貸款的三年動蕩之後，薩爾瓦多（El Salvador）終於與貸方達成了35億美元的融資協議。

Earlier this year, the lender's managing director, Kristalina Georgieva, highlighted the importance of considering the implications for macroeconomic stability when implementing BTC legal tender.

今年早些時候，貸方董事總經理Kristalina Georgieva強調了在實施BTC法律招標時考慮對宏觀經濟穩定的影響的重要性。

Despite the varying opinions, the discussion surrounding El Salvador’s approach to Bitcoin has certainly brought the crypto space into the mainstream.

儘管有不同的看法，但圍繞薩爾瓦多對比特幣方法的討論肯定使加密貨幣空間成為主流。
