A very shocking news coming for the Bitcoin sector because of a deal between Bitcoin bull country El Salvador & Bitcoin hater IMF.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) is an international financial institution. This institution provides financial assistance and policy advice to member countries to help them to fight against payment problems, typically due to economic instability, high inflation, or unsustainable debt levels. Also, the IMF provides loans to countries in need of financial support to stabilize their economies but with certain conditions, for example, restructuring the country’s economy.

On 18 Dec 2024, The IMF body published the latest details about a loan deal with Central American country El Salvador.As per the deal conditions, El Salvador limits its involvement in the country’s national digital Bitcoin wallet, “Chivo”, and also leaves the Bitcoin-related development focus on public sector engagement. That means Bitcoin-related economic activity will remain highly confined to crypto-focused businesses instead of the government authorities.By following the deal precisely, El Salvador will get $1.4 billion from the IMF over the next 40 months.

The IMF body stated that “The potential risks of the Bitcoin project will be diminished significantly in line with Fund policies. Legal reforms will make acceptance of Bitcoin by the private sector voluntary”.

Many economic experts noted that such deals are not going to impact El Salvador’s Bitcoin vision and it is going to give a better boost to the country’s economy. With this deal, El Salvador’s debt-to-GDP ratio will drop significantly, which is a very good sign for the economy of this country.

A key part of the Luna Classic ($LUNC ) project’s long-term success hinges on the repeg of USTC to $1. But here’s the question: Why isn’t the community focusing more on achieving this goal? When we look at the numbers, USTC’s total supply is much smaller than LUNC’s, so wouldn’t it make more sense for the community to concentrate a portion of its investment and efforts here?

Let’s break it down further. Unlike LUNC, which has an immense supply in circulation and requires massive burns or demand to achieve significant price movements, USTC already has a more manageable supply structure. For example, with a circulating supply of just over 9 billion tokens, pushing USTC closer to $1 would require far less capital than it would to dramatically increase the value of LUNC.

If the community shifts a portion of its resources, investments, and focus toward USTC, we could potentially trigger a strong upward price movement. A successful repeg wouldn’t just improve USTC’s value but could also restore faith in the Luna Classic ecosystem as a whole, creating a ripple effect that benefits LUNC indirectly. After all, the utility and credibility of the entire project are tightly tied to USTC’s stability.

Of course, this approach would require coordinated community efforts, including sustainable burn mechanisms, incentives for holding USTC, and demand-driven use cases to stabilize the price over time. It’s not a small task, but it’s far from impossible with community action and proper strategies.

So, is it time to refocus on USTC? Given the numbers and the potential for quicker success, it’s a question worth serious consideration. The opportunity to build momentum is there—it just needs a collective push.

No question is ever stupid when it challenges us to think deeper and strategize smarter.
