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 :)

For me the only important thing about Milei is when he proposes to adopt Bitcoin.

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.

You need to look at it. I would like to know your take on this.

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

To avoid that, to underpin this new culture under a sole, simple, coherent and compelling narrative, is our challenge and the one I'm focussing on.

Hayek wrote a book about the denationalisation of currency. No government monopoly on currency

It seems so obvious to think about money on BTC terms, that I can't process much the idea that Hayek had to write a book to justify it

40 percent poverty rate in Argentina

There are bigger priorities than bitcoin adoption

21 sats \ 12 replies \ @didiplaywell 1 Jul

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?

21 sats \ 10 replies \ @didiplaywell 1 Jul

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
