As a libertarian he is the opposite of someone who makes bills.
How many has he made or supported compared to other politicians ?
Your frustrations with him, and that of the communist who will riot when he is elected, is that you do not understand libertarianism or economics.
It is very hands off.
IF bitcoin is the best thing for Argentina, Argentinians will choose it. A bill to support it is NOT what a libertarian would do. At best he might support a bill that makes confiscating it illegal (like any other property), or some other measure that REMOVES government power and interference. Like his main goal of eliminating the central bank.
You have to understand the free market.
By your logic a libertarian has no place in congress which is basically, voting and proposing bills. Lets call this democracy. Brilliant reasoning, maybe he got elected just to keep the chair warm, well.. only if he decides to show up.

Your comment is kind of all over the place, not quite sure what your point is.
According to core libertarian philosophy, running for an office where 100% of the people did not consent to be ruled by you is immoral (Non-agression principal) as is voting, since this is an exercise of force on others.
In reality, because our species is very immature, a libertarian who runs, wins and somehow manages to keep his promises to reduce government, and increase freedom, is the lesser of evils.
I have listened to several of his interview in spanish and english. There is one in particular where he goes into detail about what argentina's relationship will be with china. On one hand he positions it as a moral choice, that China is so evil argentina will not deal with them at the political level. What it actually is, is a genious political and economic move to move market decisions back to the market. He says in the interview, if individual people want to do business with China, his government will not stand in the way. This is a libertarian Mandate.
What this means for bitcoin is deregulation. He is a defacto Bitcoin candidate because of the very fact he is HANDS OFF. Decriminalization. Banks that want to offer bitcoin products will be allowed. There will no longer be an "Official" Peso rate. There will be just whatever the market wants.
In 3 to 5 years, if he maintains security, (stops communist cells, this can be done non-violently through shaming) you won't recognize Argentina. I guarantee you will see so much money coming in it will make your head spin.
Most of the world likes Argentina and Argentinians and is ready to invest in it. It has huge advantages over El Salvador for instance. A history of wealth creation, highly trained scientist and engineers, and less recent crime and trauma, than ES. ES has many years to recover psychologically.
Especially if we the west cut more ties with China. Our processor manufacturing will move to AG and MEX. We are severely confused at how you can be white, and have such a bad economy by the way. It's almost like Karma for whatever you did to your black population (we won't get into that).
