Draper was in Sri Lanka when he met recently elected President Ranil Wickremesinghe where he told his spiel about bitcoin adoption at the central bank. According to Bloomberg, he was met with icy feedback. In a meeting with Governor Nandalal Weerasinghe, Draper announced, “I come to the central bank with decentralized currency.”


“We don’t accept,” Weerasinghe replied, reportedly taking a sip of fizzy ginger beer.
