If you are from Argentina, I'd love to hear whether you voted for him and why or why not.

Yes I did. Wanting to destroy a central bank is not a good reason enough?

I was reading elsewhere about people's thoughts on the current state of Argentina. One guy was saying that a typical software engineer would have a salary of $1000 / month, but after tax the take-home pay would be closer to $200 / month. Is that about accurate?
How enthusiastic are Argentinians about the result? Do they actually support Milei or was it more of a "fuck you" vote to spite the previous party?

I think it's a bit of both because Milei's campaign was focused on removing privileges from "la casta" (the establishment, so perhaps similar to Trump when he promised draining the DC swamp).
So it's both a fuck you and hope for restoring what made this country once great (the liberal ideas of Alberdi, Sarmiento, Roca - 1880-1890s)
Tax are ridiculously high (IF doing everything 100% over the table) but no they won't reach 80%. But that would be possible if paid in foreign currency, paying taxes, taking out USD in pesos from the bank and reconverting to USD in the black market.
Clarifications: Yes, you must convert to pesos when you're paid from abroad, that is essentially how they steal from all exports (in particular agricultural, that on top of that are heavily taxed). And, why wouldn't you be able to buy USD with pesos again you may ask? Because buying is restricted, they'll sell you 200 USD a month IF you're lucky.

Do you have sources for Santiago Caputo's link with the WEF? I can't find any

i missed a coma there.
Santiago Caputo is not linked to WEF,
He is linked to Macri.. And we all know what Macri did to the country ( not saying the other team is better though).
For someone who was agains the "casta" having the Macri team inside is wayyyy to suspicious.
And Milei thanked Caputo himself for being elected.. go figure

Yet they plan to do a lot of things that are the opposite of WEF policies. We'll see, maybe they sell out. I don't think they are saviors, only buying a bit more time and freedom to keep working on more definitive solutions like bitcoin and freedom tech
What I can for sure tell you that the peronistas were full onboard the agenda 2030, talking about climate change, CBDCs, etc

He might like BTC, but he likes Fiat first, like all politics.
I don't think this will change much besides "destroying a central bank".
We'll have to wait to see what changes, but, in my opinion, nothing will.
