not trying to kill the vibe, but if people pay their rental in BTC, it's a private matter and no one need to know anything and def none of the gov's business.
agreed. But the government still has to allow rents to be paid in different currencies. I'm not saying it has to be this way, I'm saying that this is the reality.

Things will get interesting once normies find out that bitcoin is permissionless
Government still has to allow.
Says it all and should scare the hell out of you.

hmmm, I didn't ask permission from anyone, but to have a talk with the owner to choose the currency that we both happy about, and that's only between us, no one need to know anything:)

It was just people who follow the law. Of course, we can always break the law :)

it's actually not about breaking the law, it's about how you position yourself and the law.
Reality is that landlords in Argentina still want to sign contracts (including where the warranty/insurance is stipulated) that I believe a notary has to sign. Before Milei's amendments they wouldn't sign the contract if it was denominated in anything other than ARS

They ought to be able, but it was previously illegal to do so. Despite Bitcoin being state resistant money, many of us still don't want to go to jail for light or transient reasons and thus try not to get on the wrong side of the law. Milei's reforms just recently made it so that people can do it without the cops showing up

What's happening here is they the government has changed the laws to make it clear that they agree with you.
