Ameriški diplomat: Zaradi tega incidenta so oblasti sprejele "še en težek pogled na bitcoin"

Many consider the market for the world’s largest cryptocurrency as a means to gain wealth. However, due to the attached risk factor, that is, its volatility it is perceived as an insecure investment option. This also highlights the importance of possessing a risk appetite to mitigate or absorb the losses. However, Bitcoin has recently become more lucrative for countries and individuals equipped to manage the underlying risk.

Junija 2021, El Salvador became the world’s first country to adopt bitcoin as legal tender, in accordance with the recently passed legislation that takes effect in September. Legalizing Bitcoin in a region shed light on one of the major criticisms against it, the lack of an independent macroeconomic institutional framework.

Enako je bilo tema razprave na nedavnem srečanju uradnikov ZDA in vlade Salvadorja.

Podsekretarka ZDA za politične zadeve Victoria Nuland med prejšnjo interakcijo s predsednikom Salvadorja Nayib Bukele je razpravljal o zakonu države Bitcoin. Sklicevanje na to razpravo med kasnejšim srečanjem z drugimi uradniki Salvadorja, Nuland zagotovljeno njih in predsednika sta "govorila o izvajanju Bitcoina kot zakonitega plačilnega sredstva v državi."

Visoki predstavnik ameriškega zunanjega ministrstva je dodal:

“I did suggest to the president that whatever El Salvador chooses to do, you ensure that it is well urejeno, that it is transparent and that it is responsible, and you protect yourself against malign actors.”

This development came soon after the Kibernetski napad Colonial Pipeline that made the US authorities take “another tough look at bitcoin.” According to Nuland,

»Napad maja je prisilil začasno ustavitev operacij v podjetju Colonial, ki prevaža približno 45 odstotkov goriva, porabljenega na vzhodni obali ZDA. Družba se je strinjala, da bo hekerjem plačala odkupnino v bitcoinih v vrednosti 4.4 milijona dolarjev. "

Recently, the International Monetary Fund mentioned that it was in talks with El Salvador concerning its position on Bitcoin and that it still had concerns regarding the same. Further, last month, the World Bank had zavrnjena a request from El Salvador for its assistance in implementation of their steps toward realizing the adoption of Bitcoin as official currency.
