In a country that gambled on making bitcoin legal tender, their treasury is buying the dips...
The country's 2,300 bitcoins are now worth half what the government paid for them, but the finance minister has brushed off criticism, saying there is "extremely minimal fiscal risk".

So Bitcoin is basically people swapping usable cash for something that doesn't really exist?

bearing in mind that this is a thread entitled "Bitcoin" perhaps worth understanding how Bitcoin itself is different to exchanges, other coins, tokens...

Binance and its CEO in the dock; but not a collapse like so many of the big crypto stories last year...
In a complaint filed on Monday, the CTFC accuses Binance of having an “ineffective compliance program” and claims it “knowingly” broke the law.
The agency claims Zhao, Lim, and other executives “failed to properly supervise Binance’s activities” and “actively facilitated violations of U.S. law” as a result.
The lawsuit also addresses some of the internal conversations brought to light by a report from The Wall Street Journal earlier this month, alleging that Binance “instructed” its customers in the US to use virtual private networks (VPNs) to hide their locations in order to trade on the platform.
