The poll recieved 46,417 votes with 79.4% saying yes and 20.6% saying no. The crypto community quickly latched onto the poll to advocate that digital currencies like Bitcoin are real money and can be used as currency. Many crypto supporters retweeted the poll adding comments advocating for digital assets instead of fiat money from central banks.

The International Monetary Fund is an organization of 190 countries working towards global monetary cooperation and financial stability. The global mission of the organization may draw crypto supporters to follow meaning the poll results could be skewed, however they are still notable.
