https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/debt-to-gdp-ratio-by-countryDebt to GDP Ratio by Country  Top 10 Countries with the Lowest Debt-to-GDP Ratios (%)  "While a low debt-to-GDP ratio is generally desirable, it does not necessarily indicate a healthy economy. Many stagnant or developing economies have a low debt-to-income ratio because both their level of debt and their GDP are low. In fact, in some cases, a country's economy could be healthier in the long run if the country were to borrow from another country and invest heavily in economic growth.." This site contains everything I wanted to say. You talk about repayment for a long time, but why did you decide that someone will pay these debts?

EL-Salvador is a country that was the one to adopt Bitcoin as a legal tender. That was in the year 2021 when Bitcoin created a new ATH, till now they survived and improved their economy because their President was a visionary.
And do you have data backing this claim? From another of my replies: These are the figures of GDP growth in 2022/2023 for central america: Guatemala 4.1% 3.5%
Panama 10.8% 5.1%
Honduras 4% 3.2%
Salvador 2.6% 2.7%
Nicaragua 3.8% 3.1%
Costa Rica 4.6% 4.1%
Belize 8.7% 4.2% Salvador has had the lowest growth in Central America for two consecutive years! It has run a $764.60 millions deficit last year after a previous $587.40 million deficit. The country GDP to debt ratio has reached a new record at 80.9% and it's projected to reach 98% of GDP in 2027. So, what good has done Bukele to the economy? GDP to debt ratio is not a very fair indicator for many countries. Basically, all countries contribute a bunch of financial sector products to GDP, and we can see that in many countries GDP consists of financial sector indicators from 40 to 70%. And the real economy is in an even worse situation. |

bbc.репортер,If you look at it very pragmatically, you can steal 10 billion, but only pay a fine of 5 billion. Then you are a successful businessman. Below you will find how to use the remaining money more legally and safely.
CZ has vast invaluable experience and political connections that are very valuable.

I am a poor communicator on the situation in Pakistan.
But I understand a little about economics.
The very first thing I tell everyone is the words of Warren Buffett: “Bitcoin will cost 0.” And this must be understood correctly.
Nobody knows when this bubble will burst, in a year or in 10-100 years, but it will burst.
For the USA and Europe, this is a very small market, and a collapse in the crypto market will not greatly affect their economy, but for small countries this can be a very fatal mistake.
I am a big Bitcoin supporter and I do not think it is a bubble, someone like Warren Buffet who is a known stooge of the US, cannot destroy my belief in Bitcoin. I do agree there is a big risk to consider Bitcoin as a legal tender due to its volatility, but when Bitcoin goes up and you as in a country have Bitcoin as a reserve rather than Gold it does increase a country's reserves. In Pakistan, the problem is different as the current selected government is full of those who are known to be corrupt. I said selected because of the Pakistan army controlling the output of the election. If the leader is known as corrupt and the Army is known to be the backbone that controls everything happening in Pakistan how would then Bitcoin help that nation? Do a Google search about the current election in Pakistan and you will see how the Pakistani army is controlling everything happening in that country. All politicians and businessmen, of course, lie in public speeches, and I would be more afraid to listen to the opinions of those who recommended buying Bitcoin during the last bull cycle. Gold as a short-term reserve is not a very good way, because transactions with it are controlled in my country and in other countries and there are taxes. But on the shadow market, prices are much lower when selling, and when buying, you need to check the goods, otherwise scammers will sell a gold-plated piece of metal. |

This is of course very ridiculous, but it seems to me that the issue here is not about justice, but about the hunt for Do Kwon’s money. A lenient sentence in both countries will only be given if he returns all the money to the budget of the country where the trial will take place.
And Montenegro is in no hurry to give the “golden antelope” to other countries

But one question still remains - stablecoins can be issued from anywhere in the world. Not sure how the Bank of International settlement is planning to enforce it's regulations onto them.
It is not in the release, I can issue a stablecoin but to be linked to 1 USD. I need to create bank accounts, buy US treasury bonds and more assets that are easy to liquefy to support the stability of the coin. Stable cryptocurrencies can be backed by other assests and not USD like Luna, but we all knew what happened to them. For this reason, the US government can call banks to prevent opening bank accounts for stablecoins companies, and then it will be impossible to maintain a value of $1. You can provide stablecoins with other coins, such as Bitcoin, Litecoin, Dogecoin, but for such a project you will have to use inflated collateral and develop this product for many years. But it will be a completely decentralized stablecoin. Although it will be used by criminals and the developers will be accused of many serious crimes. |

BSC-BEP20 is a lot cheaper than TRC20 in centralized exchanges, and it is way cheaper in your local wallets. Last time i checked, it was about 1 USDT for using the TRC20 network and 0.56 USDT for using the BEP20 network. Whichever works well, it is better than other networks such as the ETH and MainNet. If you would like other cheaper networks too, you can check the SOL, MATIC networks; they are cheap as well.
Binance Smart Chain is more adaptable with the transfer of assets between different ecosystems and L2 Ethereum solutions, and most decentralized ecosystems support stablecoins in this ecosystem. If you need to transfer assets from the Tron ecosystem, it will cost more. But in some places TRC20 is more popular as payments, and there it is more profitable to use the Tron ecosystem. |

 K33 Research data I have long had a desire to collect statistics on where bitcoins are located in order to try to analyze further events in this market. I found a recent report from K33 Research that said there are 1 million Bitcoins in ETPs, ETFs and other funds. I would like to find data on how many bitcoins are currently on exchanges, how many have been confiscated by the authorities of different countries and other official data in order to understand how many bitcoins have known owners. There is also data on bitcoins lost forever, but we see that sometimes large wallets come back to life after 10 years. If someone has already done this before me, then share the result so that I don’t have to start everything from the very beginning |

If I were the president of the country, I would not legalize Bitcoin. There is a very high risk of potential scam here. The first miners and users received bitcoins for a very small amount, and now one bitcoin costs more than $60,000.
If El Salvador now has unrealized profits, this does not mean that these profits will last forever. Prices are also falling.
I agree they as in the top brass or the elites who are only 10% will easily corrupt the miners or the financial advisors to get control over Bitcoin. The present government is full of corrupt leaders and they are again in power because of the backdoor Army control. You would not believe it the Army produces everything and is the biggest infrastructure developer in Pakistan. EL-Salvador is a country that was the one to adopt Bitcoin as a legal tender. That was in the year 2021 when Bitcoin created a new ATH, till now they survived and improved their economy because their President was a visionary. Assuming they bought Bitcoin when it was in its ATH, last night Bitcoin reached that price point and with the current market condition it is going to create a new ATH in a few days. What will you have to say then about Bitcoin with spot ETF money coming in Bitcoin is going to create some huge ATH. I am a poor communicator on the situation in Pakistan. But I understand a little about economics. The very first thing I tell everyone is the words of Warren Buffett: “Bitcoin will cost 0.” And this must be understood correctly. Nobody knows when this bubble will burst, in a year or in 10-100 years, but it will burst. For the USA and Europe, this is a very small market, and a collapse in the crypto market will not greatly affect their economy, but for small countries this can be a very fatal mistake. |

The document is small and worth reading. And in practice, such recommendations will soon become mandatory. And stablecoins will have the same requirements as international currencies, which means total KYC and all other delights.
If a broad regulatory framework is established for cryptocurrencies, I do not think that we will need stablecoins, as it will be easy to create a bank account in dollars and buy Bitcoin directly from banks. I do not think we will be allowed to withdraw Bitcoin, but it will be the next step after extensive regulation. If this broad regulation does not happen, then most likely stablecoins will be regulated such that you need KYC to create a wallet, but due to the inability to regulate DAI, these steps will not change the non-KYC stablecoin option. I store most stablecoins in DAI, but I don't like this picture at all. Previously, DAI had a lot of stablecoins in the collateral and they were heavily dependent on USDC, but now there are a lot of RWA (Real-World Asset) in the collateral. This is also bad. But one question still remains - stablecoins can be issued from anywhere in the world. Not sure how the Bank of International settlement is planning to enforce it's regulations onto them.
Unfortunately, this issue has not yet been resolved, how to make an ideal stablecoin, independent of regulators, and so that there are no problems with trust. Any algorithmic stablecoin requires excessive collateral, and even for DAI this figure is more than 300%. We all want decentralization, but no one uses the Ethereum Classic ecosystem, and it is almost dead. The same will happen with other stablecoins. |

It is like a joke from Nigerian government as their macroeconomics is their national problems that cause the decrease of purchasing power of Naira, not Bitcoin or Binance is the cause. Their Naira rate to US dollar drops from 0.0068 in March 2009 to 0.00064 in March 2024, it is not caused by Binance. What is this? The Nigerian government thinks that if CZ paid 4 billion to the US government, then it will agree to pay Nigeria?
They are too naive to think that Binance and CZ will accept this case. CZ already stepped down as Binance CEO months ago but Binance have no solid reason to accept this request and they even don't negotiate with it. It can be a precedent case for other nations to arbitrarily suit Binance and ask for money. If Nigerian government succeeds with Binance, they will do the same with other exchanges. Good opportunity for them to get money. Binance operates in many countries through lobbying. To accuse Binance and collect a large fine from it, you will have to go to an international court, where Binance has much more experience. I see the experience of different exchanges when it is not profitable for them to obtain licenses in many countries, because this requires an office in this country and the necessary number of staff. |

No. Countries like Pakistan, if they want to get out of the hole, have to start by spending less than they earn. Exactly the same thing happens as in a family or a company, not expecting a magical investment to get you out of trouble. The value of the bitcoins purchased by El Salvador is $150M and the GDP is around $34 billion, meaning that the price increase, although not go bad, will not have a very significant impact. For a country's debts to decrease, its economy must develop. Buying Bitcoin does not increase the economy.
Well, unless you become famous for making Bitcoin legal and attract investment for it, as has happened in El Salvador, that does help develop the economy. But you're right that just buying Bitcoin doesn't. If I were the president of the country, I would not legalize Bitcoin. There is a very high risk of potential scam here. The first miners and users received bitcoins for a very small amount, and now one bitcoin costs more than $60,000. If El Salvador now has unrealized profits, this does not mean that these profits will last forever. Prices are also falling. |
