I've stated something similar in another thread without much traction or response to it. Again why are we praising central bankers now?

Could be more like a "trojan horse " for those banksters. On one side they are pressured/fucked by IMF and want to get rid of them... But on the other side, if they would adopt BTC (I doubt it), they are fucked, because slowly they will became obsolete once people realize that they can run their own bank (a LN node).
Interesting times...

Dollarized developing economies are screwed more from rising inflation than is the US because the cantillon gainz from inflation acrue mostly to rich people in the west.
Bitcoin can check US dollar debasement if it gives 3rd world central banks a highly liquid alternative to US bonds.
The game theory doesn't require full adoption by their people to work out well for these countries.
