BREAKING: IMF’s new rules (BPM7) add #Bitcoin and crypto to global money tracking. 🧵
1⃣ Bitcoin and similar coins: These are seen as "stuff you own" (like gold or land), not tied to any debt. If you buy or sell them across borders, it’s tracked like trading property.
2⃣ Stablecoins: These are more like financial promises (because they’re backed by something), so they’re counted differently, like bank stuff.
3⃣ Tokens like Ethereum or Solana: If you own these and live in a different country from where they’re made, they’re treated like owning shares in a foreign company.
4⃣ Staking rewards: If you earn extra crypto by holding coins (like staking), it’s counted as income, similar to getting dividends from stocks.
5⃣ Mining or staking work: When people help run crypto networks (like mining Bitcoin), it’s treated as a service job, like exporting tech help.
