Arrived in Argentina 🇦🇷 Asked my Uber driver about inflation, and for 15 minutes, he told me how it’s wrecked his life—intense hearing firsthand how he lost almost all his money. Then he tried to explain how money actually works (my Spanish isn’t great, so this was a challenge, haha). He made sure I understood the money printer and its effects. Really wanted me to get the basics of how things went down. He didn’t have a fix for inflation other than buying some gold, we didn’t touch on Bitcoin, but this whole convo makes me bullish on how humanity is always drawn to finding the truth 🧡 (and hopefully #bitcoin down the road)
