Isn't Milei trying to become a tyrant? There are news from everywhere that public had been protesting for his measures. But he is asking for infinite powers. In fact, a bill has already been approved that -
The legislation delegates broad powers to the president in energy, pensions, security and other areas and includes several measures seen as controversial, including a generous incentive scheme for foreign investors, tax amnesty for those with undeclared assets and plans to privatize some of Argentina’s state-owned firms.

Not in the slightest. Do not trust propaganda. Actually, you can safely always interpret the opposite of what the propaganda tells you in order to know the truth.

Alright, it may be a propaganda. Are there no protests against him in Argentina?
reply
Of course, the leftist parasites he is severing from state income are pathetically trying to create distress and protest against him daily, much to the delight of the majority of the population that previously had to maintain them. Twitter has been great at showing the malice of the leftards previous and after being severed, and the media is armless against social networks. Besides laughing at those scenes of "lefties crying" (which in confidence people will confess as "orgasmic"), those who voted for Milei, which is the majority of the population (57%), is just looking forward to recovery and couldn't care less at the leftards.

So, it seems like you're reporting all this from ground zero?
For me the only important thing about Milei is when he proposes to adopt Bitcoin.

Yes of course, I live in Argentina :)

An he means it, but he is taking a stronger approach to it, by looking to enable free competition of currencies, which is the proper stand for all cases.

Best thing would be if politicians do not touch anything. The only thing necessary is having level playing fields in this case for money, to let evolution fo its work. Politicians are getting too much attention and leverage to intervene in our lives!

Exactly, that's why Javier takes orthodox libertarian approaches as much as he can. He openly confesses being an anarchic-capitalist at hearth. So he do not wants the state to have a saying on anything regarding currencies, nor to ban nor to allow anything on that regard, so a free currency system is actually a ban to the state itself to not to intervene on those matters.

That's what I like. But people need to translate this into their everyday lives to prevent the next commie to destroy the achievements again. We'll see
Hayek wrote a book about the denationalisation of currency. No government monopoly on currency

There are bigger priorities than bitcoin adoption
reply
Actually that's the reason the adoption started so early here. Bitcoin has been a mean of survival for many, both for its valuation and its ability to avoid the claws of the state. That's why we have really cool apps here to operate with BTC in our everyday lives like if the adoption had already happened. I'm personally living that way since 2/3 years ago

Do you use tether?
reply
Yes, USDT is the de-facto standard. But I prefer to keep everything BTC, I don't keep money on USDT for too long, DCA is very efficient

the problem is that political caste has merged with mainstream media into a very very strong bubble. they create and defend their narrative and continue to suck the private sector dry

Collusion

Not a tyrant
His plan to eliminate the central bank and adopt USD as the new currency is a step in the right direction. Huge step.
reply
I also think the same but what about this news of Milei now getting infinite powers for every sector??
Why would someone do that?

Argentina's lower house has approved President Javier Milei's extensive economic reform bills, marking a significant win for the libertarian leader after months of tough negotiations and protests[1]. The legislation, aimed at reducing the fiscal deficit and attracting foreign investment, secured final approval in the lower house after passing through the Senate amid strong opposition[1]. Milei's reform package includes measures to encourage investments, privatize state-owned enterprises, and grant the president expanded authority over economic and energy affairs for a year[1]. Despite facing hurdles due to opposition tactics, Milei's administration managed to push through the legislation, attributing the challenges to the obstructive behavior of hard-line opponents[1].

I still can't believe that there really is a politician who puts libertarian politics, a free market economy and the dismantling of the state into practice. All the disappointments and decades of building new socialist regimes in Europe have made me so politically numb that I hardly dare to rejoice
