this paper is clearer, and discusses the great outside interferences aiming at the present Salvador revolution.
IMF is currently sort of fossil, but itself will be submitted to great internal/external evolutions. world is changing presently.
please let Salvador pursue its not-so-evident transformation.

But this is been rejected by Bukele https://www.cointribune.com/en/el-salvador-challenges-the-imf-and-continues-its-accumulation-of-bitcoin/

That condition asked by IMF is to much and its like they are saying that they want to control El Salvador. Its great that they have great leader like Bukele since he knows how to reject things that to much for them.

I admire their firm  stand point and we can see that they are really for Bitcoin and IMF is just a bullshit controlling institution that wants to manipulate them.

From my understanding, the situation is a moving target, so it does not help to cite articles that are nearly 2 months old when talking about El Salvador's current position and/or their responses to recent IMF proclamations - and sure some of those proclamations are ambiguous in terms of what they expect El Salvador to do in term of their bitcoin acquisition or their bitcoin participation and/or promotion and what El Salvador is actually doing in regards to these bitcoin related participation, purchasing and/or promotion matters. 

Even some folks close within some of Bukele's circles were not sure about the extent to which some of El Salvador's bitcoin related policies and practices were going to change based on new loan terms and the interpretation (and public pronouncements) of the parties about their interpretation of new loan terms... and even the loan itself, does not seem to be a one time thing, since it comes in installments, and so El Salvador could be considered (by the IMF) to be in compliance, or out of compliance at the time of one of the loan installments, yet if at some point down the road, then IMF might consider El Salvador to be "out of compliance" and then at that point, they have a dispute about the loan, and perhaps El Salvador will consider the IMF to be out of compliance by their holding back of the distribution of the next loan installments.

It is extremely telling that the IMF fears bitcoin as much as it does.  Some may be stupid, but many there know that bitcoin is significantly better money than fiat.  For example the USD has lost around 98% of its purchasing power under Fed (mis)management.  That is one reason why a US $20 one oz gold double eagle now costs around $3300-$3400. (It may be much more if you include any numismatic value of course.)  The IMF knows that there are plenty of smart people around the world who want to protect themselves from authoritarians of any stripe whether socialists, communists, fascists, totalitarians etc. and can use bitcoin to do so.  Of course they can use gold, but it is not nearly as portable etc.

Anyway, I believe it is indicative of the fear that they have of a non-government controlled money since for around 112 years now the US has been at the mercy of people who want to tax them via inflation and control them via controlling their money. 

I have not seen any statement that El Salvador is actually pausing in its accumulation of 1 bitcoin per day or whatever might be some modest form of ongoing BTC accumulation.   I will take with a grain of salt any proclamations of actually moving away from their goals, even though surely there are a lot of folks in El Salvador who likely do not have much of a discretionary income, so they might not be advantaged from investing into bitcoin, and using bitcoin as a payment system is not as compelling.

The last news I heard from them was last February. It was when they took a step back from their decision about making bitcoin as a legal tender. They had to do it following the pressure from International Monetary Fund (IMF).

Upon searching, I found this that was released today.

Seems like they've gone lowkey for now since they know IMF is watching them. This move might be the best for now to avoid drawing too much attention while still reinforcing Nayib's commitment to buy 1 bitcoin per day as part of his economic vision.

There is always a way out of almost any situation, and as we see here - the path to continue was found, and I am glad it happened.

The IMF confirmed Tuesday that 🇸🇻 El Salvador has upheld its commitment to stop bitcoin accumulation by its fiscal sector.

"I can confirm that El Salvador continues to comply with its commitment to not hoard bitcoin by the fiscal sector in general, which is our performance criterion," - Rodrigo Valdés, director of the Western Hemisphere at the IMF

El Salvador’s Ministry of Education To Launch Educational Bitcoin Curriculum For Young School Students

We see that the Ministry of Education in El Salvador is now looking to incorporate Bitcoin into the curriculum of many young students. In my opinion the new educational programs they have are giving priority to children between the ages of 7 and 13. Through this educational program for young children, everyone may be able to understand that they are moving further in the field of Bitcoin. In fact we all know about Lina seiches Hodler project, It is believed that the launch of that program will be announced through this project.
