In what multiverse is achieving 20% adoption among customers and sellers in only a year a "failure"? Also, no shit the IMF is going to rattle off dire-sounding warnings; the IMF has a vested interest in keeping countries like El Salvador dependent on the legacy financial system.

It's way too early to declare El Salvador's Bitcoin experiment a failure (or, for that matter, a success). Adopting a new currency (let alone an entire alternative financial system) doesn't happen overnight.
