I see this conspiracy theory thrown somewhat often, but it has the same substance than any qanon-type "they" story.
Meanwhile, supporters of this conspiracy theory fail to explain why adopting a highly volatile and manipulation-prone asset as a nation's legal tender is not a completely brain-dead belief, as it fails any of the basic properties of money.
Another detail that btc conspiracy theorists fail to mention is how every single concern expressed by the IMF regarding El Salvador's Bitcoin push was already proven right.
But crypto-bros hand-wave around the subject and it never ceases to be fool-proof.
