For all claims to the contrary, NGU is Bitcoin's most powerful mass adoption weapon. NGU because Bitcoin is better monetary technology, and "some" people recognize that and adopt it. But "most" people don't make decisions rationally based on a deep understanding of their options. They make decisions based on emotion and obviously visible effects. NGU presses those buttons.
What on-ramps or exchanges exist for people in Argentina? Have family there, have been trying to get them to shift from the literal usd under the mattress savings account to BTC for some time but it has not been that accessible.
No idea about Argentina specifically. The article mentions an exchange called Lemon. I can't imagine the government is friendly to exchanges since they're desperate to keep people from escaping their monetary prison, but hopefully this will change under the new administration?
Have them get a crypto-enbled Debit pre-paid card such as Lemon, Belo, Ripio, etc. and directly send them Bitcoin that they can spend anywhere just swiping the card. All have apps in the App Store and Play Store. Later them have them move the remaining sats to a proper wallet for stacking.
Things have changed in Argentina in a way that people are FINALLY understanding that inflation also occurs in USD nostr:note1awwjzjdntagckhen3uxhf92gmqq2tz5lykc8k9x4csygjjv5kz2qnttycw
