Micael here! Author, educator, bitcoiner.

Hello, everyone! I'm Micael, an Argentinian Bitcoin educator. I believe that Bitcoin is the greatest tool we have to reclaim our freedom, and education is the pillar of free societies.

That's the reason I wrote my book "The Great Parasite" and co-founded Bitcoin School. The parasite is a centuries-old system that has been relentlessly stealing our time, energy, and wealth for multiple generations. For the first time, we have a tool to protect ourselves and build a parallel system.

I also work for Bull Bitcoin, the most based bitcoin only company in the game. I encourage you to try Bull, our new self custodial wallet build by and for bitcoiners.

Thanks! I'll check your work more in detail.

I am very familiar with Mark Passio's work. Is that the right direction? Or what do you mean exacly that I am missing?

i think that the big piece of the problem that people are missing is exactly that - the pure soul cannot shine thru impure flesh;

u are a very brave man for breaking the silence on the occult aspects of the financial control; i focus on occult parasitology, which is an extremely niche subject that people are unwilling to investigate;

How easy to spend btc in Argentina? I love BsAs and hate dealing w/ money exchangers to get real rates. Would rather spend btc.

27 sats \ 0 replies \ @Micael OP 22h

There are not many places accepting bitcoin yet. (1) You can check BTC map (2) Then you have the guys from Kriptonmarket that onboarded many merchants and they acept bitcoin (among a lot of shitcoins).

You can also use bull bitcoin to pay anyone using sats and they receive ARS.

Is consumer use of Bitcoin as a MoE in Argentina taxed under capital gains ?

59 sats \ 1 reply \ @Micael OP 22h

In theory yes, but nobody cares, nobody does.

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @Solomonsatoshi 22h

Good to hear! I have noticed even in some autocratic nations where the government has outright banned MoE use some brave businesses simply ignore the ban. In contrast in some more 'liberal democracies' the courage of businesses and consumers often seems much less. We need to assert the right to denominate in Sats as we can do here on Stacker news and as more and more people are doing globally.

Does Bull Bitcoin require KYC?

10 sats \ 0 replies \ @Micael OP 22h

Not the Wallet. The exchange depends on the jurisdiction and volume. Most of the times it does because it involves banks accounts to buy.

What's your bitcoin origin story? Like, how did you come to bitcoin?

222 sats \ 0 replies \ @Micael OP 22h

From a young age I was curious about currencies and inflation. All my life I saw rising prices. This curiosity led me to get into finances at a young age.

I heard about bitcoin on the news in 2018, during the ATH, and thought it was ridiculous that a virtual currency could cost almost $20,000. I ignored it, but I followed the price during the crash and thought it was a bubble that was bursting and that it was dead. Then I saw that is started rising from the ashes and I realized it was not dead, so I got curios and started reading all I could about it.

At the age of 20 during the pandemic I got obsessed about it and I dropped out from collage to go all in into studying bitcoin. I started realizing more and more how deeply fucked the entire fiat system is, and that the pandemic was related to estructural financial problems.

My wake up call was reading the great reset from Klaus Schwab. I realized that bitcoin was more than digital gold or better money. It is the best tool we have to vote against this parasites that want to enslave us. I also realized that the problem didn't started in 1971 but in 1694 with the creation of the bank of england.

How difficult is it to acquire bitcoin in Argentina?

In the US, pretty much all the exchanges require extensive kyc, but it isn't too difficult to use something like Bisq or robosats.

111 sats \ 5 replies \ @Micael OP 9 Dec

Is very easy. It depends on how you want to buy it. If you have pesos in your bank the best option is to use Bull Bitcoin, you send the transfer and you get the sats directly on your wallet.

If you have cash (pesos or usd) you can buy USDT in any cueva (money exchange) non KYC and then swap them for BTC on any DEX. This is very normalized and you can do it all around Argentina.

it sounds like it is easier to acquire non-kyc bitcoin in Argentina than in the US. Thanks for the info!

You cannot buy USDT KYC free in USA?

2 sats \ 0 replies \ @Scoresby 23h

I'm sure that one can (especially if you are buying with btc), but doing so with USD is difficult.

0 sats \ 1 reply \ @DarthCoin 11h

you can buy USDT

I call that stupidity. Why not buy BTC directly with cash.

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @Micael OP 3h

It's a matter of liquidity. Most money exchanges wont sell you bitcoin directly because they don't want to be exposed to the bitcoin volatility. But I do have some that will sell btc directly for cash for sure. I was talking in general.

Welcome. How is bitcoin education and adoption going in Argentina?

50 sats \ 0 replies \ @Micael OP 9 Dec

It's going slower than I'd like, but it's moving forward!

People are more receptive than before. They understand that the dollar is devaluing and that alternatives must be sought.

There is a lot of noise and confusion due to scams and shitcoiners. Myths to debunk, work to be done.

What's something you believe about bitcoin that no bitcoiners agree with you on?

50 sats \ 0 replies \ @Micael OP 22h

hmmm

I believe the medium of exchange aspect is more important that the store of value aspect. I suspect many will not agree. I undertand that the NGU is a driver for bitcoin adoption but the real power lies in it's p2p nature, were we can trade freely without feeding any parasitic banks.

What's the most surprising thing you learned about bitcoin writing the book that you didn't know before writing the book?

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @Micael OP 22h

That there were books written about similar topics more that a century ago.

My favorite one is US money vs corporate currency by Alfred Owen Crozier. This american lawyer wrote the best case against the Federal Reserve. The book is about the Aldrich plan, the original bill of the FED. It was published in 1912, one year before the FED was created. It predicted the great depression, world wars and the confiscation of gold.

Prophetic!

What do you think of Milei?

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @Micael OP 9 Dec

He has done a great work on awakening people to many things like inflation, central banks, taxes. I hope the best for his administration but I don't believe in the political system.

The economy is doing better than before here, that's for sure.
