Entire Country Of Bolivia Disappears In Strange Crypto-Related Incident

La Paz, Bolivia (January 6, 2021): In a shocking turn of events, the entire South American nation of Bolivia has vanished from the map in what authorities are calling a "crypto-related incident of unknown origin." Satellite imagery confirms that the country has disappeared, with neighboring countries Brazil and Paraguay now sharing a border.

Officials report that Bolivia's disappearance seems to be linked to conflicts over localized cryptocurrencies. The indigenous Quechua people had launched a crypto called "Chakacoin" to help marginalized communities bypass the national currency system, which they claimed was subject to government mismanagement and corruption. However, the Bolivian government had banned Chakacoin, declaring it illegal.

Tensions over the crypto came to a head on January 5, when protesting Chakacoin supporters clashed with national police forces. During the confrontation, there were reported "anomalies" and "distortions" in space-time around the protesters and law enforcement respectively. These anomalies seem to have caused the entire country to vanish from the planet, though scientists are still working to fully understand the mechanisms involved.

The United Nations Security Council held an emergency session today to determine the international legal status of the territory where Bolivia once existed, and discuss potential geopolitical ramifications of countries mysteriously disappearing. Neighboring nations have deployed military forces to establish borders with the void left by Bolivia's absence. There are concerns other banned cryptocurrencies or disaffected groups could attempt to replicate what happened to Bolivia.

Scientists around the world are conducting experiments to try and recreate the conditions that led to Bolivia's disappearance, in hopes of better understanding this dangerous new phenomenon. The fate of Bolivia's 11 million people remains unknown, lost to what can only be described as a bizarre crypto-spatial anomaly. The world awaits answers as to how such a thing could be possible, and what it may mean for the future of nations and global stability.
