Shower thought: how does the country of El Salvador manage its bitcoin?
Is there any mechanism in place to prevent the current presidential administration from just taking it and fleeing the country after losing elections?
Is the reserve protected against immediate selling via timelocks? You know, to be sure that the next administration won’t dump the entire reserve on day one.
Is El Salvador protected against third party custodians that can refuse withdrawals?
I’m really curious to know how this works.
