IM Blech! | Bitcoin News

Bitcoin news and financial news update. Today I cover the IMF praising El Salvador’s economic progress while pushing for less state involvement in Bitcoin, Stripe’s plan to expand stablecoin cards to more than 100 countries, Metaplanet’s 10,000 BTC sale and 11,000 BTC repurchase, and Strategy adding another 334 BTC. I also get into Chainalysis using AI to trace the $387 million Bitget hack to North Korea-linked actors and the economic stakes if the AI investment boom slows.
