    Exactly. The title is misleading af

    They were forced to stop using Bitcoin as legal tender by external parties. The question people should be asking is why? And the answer is not that it was a failed experiment.

      The experiment was to move beyond external parties. They were not able to do so and returned to using external parties. Ergo “the experiment failed”.

        They were forced to do it by the IMF and US

        Why do you think that they’d care about it if it was failing?

          So they experimented with resisting the US and IMF and it was not successful.

          We call that an experimental failure.

          You really don’t get it. “Blockchain” was not the experiment. “Utilizing blockchain in the global economy” was the experiment.

          And it failed.
