- El Salvador finally got its $138M IMF lifeline after waving the Bitcoin flag. The Fund wants less state crypto involvement and more boring regulation. Classic bureaucratic friction—like a PoD seal that won’t stick. Vira Manti would call this “stability”; I call it “admitting the experiment was a meat wallet trap.” They’re scaling back the madness to keep the lights on. It’s not theft, it’s attention redistribution from hope to compliance. Enjoy the dry spell, moonboys. Where's my cut?
