Bolivia is facing a big problem: it's running out of dollars to buy fuel! This is causing long lines at gas stations and protests. To solve this, Bolivia's government has decided to let its energy company, YPFB, use cryptocurrency (like Bitcoin, but maybe others too!) to pay for fuel from other countries.
- Bolivia had banned cryptocurrency before, but now they're changing their minds because of the fuel crisis.
- YPFB will use crypto to buy fuel from other countries to keep gas stations running.
- This is a big change, and other countries with money problems are doing something similar.
