 The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has openly admitted that one of the primary reasons for halting financial aid to El Salvador is their dissatisfaction with Bitcoin and the government's decision to add it to the national treasury.

They are alarmed by the sight of a country using Bitcoin to break free from the shackles of debt.

This reveals that global financial systems are growing increasingly concerned about losing control. Bitcoin offers a path for smaller nations to escape the grip of centralized financial powers.

Bitcoin is a tool for financial freedom—something they fear.
