Sri Lanka Central Bank Says Bitcoin Cannot Solve Economic Crisis

亿万富翁投资者蒂姆·德雷珀 得到了 在提议斯里兰卡时,他所受到的接待比他预期的更具挑战性 破产国家, 至 Bitcoin.

德雷珀周二在斯里兰卡 与当地企业家讨论加密货币的采用。 当天,这位企业家就此事会见了该国总统拉尼尔·维克勒马辛哈。

德雷珀去了该国 中央银行 to present the same pitch. However, Governor Nandalal Weerasinghe, who is still working on fixing the nation’s financial challenges, did not embrace the idea. The central bank governor responded that Bitcoin adoption in Sri Lanka wouldn’t be a 100% reality.

Weerasinghe said introducing Bitcoin would worsen the crisis; therefore, they are still deciding to take that route. The government official stated that other technologies could be effectively used in financial services to promote social inclusion and quickly disburse funds to those in need.

Financial Crises Driving Nations To Bitcoin

Draper described Sri Lanka as a corrupt nation during the meeting and fronted cryptocurrency as a solution. He argued that Sri Lanka, a country known for its mineral resources, could have addressed its corruption by keeping perfect records through Bitcoin 采用。

Last year, Sri Lanka faced one the worst-ever economic crisis in its history, which drove prices up and caused shortages of food and fuel supplies across the nation. As a result, such difficulties stirred protests that forced President Gotabaya Rajapaksa to flee the country and later announce his resignation.

Sri Lanka is currently in talks with a group of private creditors from Japan, China, and India to restructure its debt in line with the IMF’s plan. The country is restructuring its debt payments of about $51 billion out of $28 billion, which has to be repaid by 2027.

According to Draper, Sri Lanka can address its financial crisis through Bitcoin adoption. The billionaire investor views the cryptocurrency as a good store of value, not subject to government or central-bank policy changes.

在会议上,德雷珀提到了萨尔瓦多。这个国家采用了 Bitcoin 在政府采用加密货币来促进金融包容性和经济发展后,它成为一种法定货币。

Countries like Zimbabwe, Turkey, and Venezuela also witness ongoing financial crises. They are suffering from hyperinflations, and as a result, their citizens have been increasingly turning to cryptocurrency as a means of exchange and a store of value.

根据德雷珀的说法, Bitcoin is one of the essential tools for humanity to overcome financial crises. He believes investors should continue seeking opportunities by investing directly in Bitcoin and its underlying technology (Blockchain).
