Hey @Cointelegraph. There's an opportunity for followup articles to dig deeper here than you did in this article https://cointelegraph.com/news/imf-concern-pakistan-bitcoin-mining-power-plan At the moment you're giving the IMF's official line an uncontested stage. This has nothing to do with the IMF's concerns over "impacts on power tariffs". Bhutan has already proven that nation states doing Bitcoin mining can lower energy prices, raise public servant salaries and build up a Bitcoin Strategic Reserve that they can use to top up Central Bank reserves. This also means that IMF loans are no longer necessary. This is one of the 5 real reasons the IMF are "concerned" about Pakistan's Bitcoin strategy: same reason they were "concerned" about El Salvador and CAR announcing Bitcoin as legal tender, and Argentina announced strong Bitcoin intentions. I've covered this previously here https://x.com/DSBatten/status/1900556448154673533 and here https://x.com/DSBatten/status/1873558000230978046 as has @gladstein in a lot more detail here: https://bitcoinmagazine.com/culture/imf-world-bank-repress-poor-countries, as have non-Bitcoiners such as @jperkinsauthor here: https://x.com/i/status/1626055472125214723
