Do you think he would he be able to unfuck Argentina before people elect commies again?
If I'd be sure that Argentina would become a stable Bitcoin paradise, I'd move tomorrow. But there's this bug in people's heads that makes them go "no haha we're not like Cuba... and not like Venezuela... (etc) it will totally work this time".

Key point the one you are rising. That's indeed what I'm focusing on now.
Milei's key achievement was being able to appeal to the entirety of the youth, through all economic classes, and I mean kids from 7 to 13. Many teachers that were among the volunteer lines recalled that during national dates, for which kids always perform small plays in schools, instead if the traditional cry of "Viva la Patria!" ("Long Live the Nation!") at the play end, out of own initiative the kids started to replace it with Milei's cry of "Viva la Libertad Carajo!". That's it, that's THE victory, right there, a society unfucked from the roots.
The boomer generation here is completely lost. After all of what happened, they still are nowhere even close to start to grasp what's going on, what's inflation, why socialism fails, what is socialism to start (despite having lived their entire lives in it), what is money, what's politics, "didn't USA made a brick wall all around Cuba?", etc etc. They are little innocent kids lost in a mall, eager to hold the hand of the first stranger that offers them to go to their minivan full of candies. So I'm not even trying there, my hopes are only in the youth, for which I'm working on making a more comprehensive libertarian manifest using my experience to more transparently and concretely express and unify the political, economical en philosophical concepts.
About Argentina being a Bitcoin paradise: it has been for long now! Even during the height of the power of the last socialist regime there was nothing they could do against Bitcoin, and lord they tried! But they failed so miserably that companies providing services with bitcoin could be legally registered all along unscathed. Now there is of course a more favourable context, but I think that the true "bitcoin paradise" premise was demonstrated when it was accomplished in the worst context, so that should give you more confidence than if it was to be true only in a favourable context.
