Thank you friend for the consideration. I think it's a complex issue, I'm not a Milei voter but I wish him the best. On the one hand I think Milei is pro-fiat (dollar), I've only heard him in an interview talk about #Bitcoin. It's not Bukele. On the other hand, we have had two very bad years of government and inflation that is already intolerable. I believe that whoever has won should set out to reform of the state in tax matter, finances and government debt. Something that worries me is that we have very healthy traditions like quality public health and a public university that has won 5 Nobel Prizes. Almost Unique Things in Latin America. I'm actually a doctor. I don't want that to be lost in the name of Pseudo-Liberalism. We'll see what happens. We need a change. But it must be the one that accompanies the values that we have as a nation. The same goes for human rights, where we have international recognition. Regarding the fact of dollarization, it is something that does not worry me too much because in fact it has #Argentina already been dollarized de facto for a long time. But one thing is for sure, we really know how to play football and make asado... 😅🇦🇷⚽ A big hug to you my man 🫂💜 the times they are a-changin' https://i.nostr.build/kQP5.jpg

I think it's #Bitcoin been installed here for a long time. You can buy it Non-KYC on your phone with many apps or use debit cards #Bitcoin in many locations in a KYC way. @negr0 many times it shows amazing videos paying with #Bitcoin in Argentina. But here everyone is more interested primarily in a dollarized commodity like #Tether because of the big problem with our currency. As usual, in many places there is a lack of education about #Bitcoin but we have time 🫂🧡

En Argentina hace unos días tuvimos el evento de LA BITCONF dónde con nuestra comunidad de @La Crypta lanzamos una wallet y una tarjeta lightning para 5000 personas donde el principal objetivo era la adopción de bitcoin y realizar pagos sin intermediarios, sin comisiones y a la velocidad de la luz como lo es #lightning .

Anyone who can walk to an exchange house has access to dollars here friend. But it is true that any level of poverty is intolerable. I don't particularly use a lot of dollars in my daily life here. Everything here is paid in pesos, The dollar is usually a savings reserve, at least until today and tomorrow I wouldn't be able to tell you hehehe 😅

False. I went to buy dollars with residents, poor people, in Argentina. They were denied service. For some time there were limits, they could buy only a limited amount, until they began to discriminate completely, low income citizens became unable to buy dollars.

Thanks for the level headed write up. In regards to public education: in the US we see time after time this scenerio. (Blank) is too expensive, and everyone should (blank). We will print a bunch of new money to ensure everyone can get a loan whether or not they qualify and regardless if they should even buy (blank). This leads to more demand without increasing supply. And makes the unaffordable thing (house, college, health insurance) shoot way up in price and even more unaffordable.

🤗 that's what it's #Nostr for all of us to exchange. It's the big problems of our generation that you're describing, my friend. We'll have to deal with them. But we have #Bitcoin on our side, and that gives us the advantage. Let us not lose sight of the things that are important and let us live with joy.

Hace 6 meses tienes un Argentino hablando de eso amiga. Deberías seguir mis agudas notas 😅🇦🇷⚡ Abrazo grande Marce. Siempre admirando y apoyando tu trabajo. nostr:nevent1qqsv3el0m52hxmypw0pa06u6wytl60v2j56x4kzvkmn63kh62jdsndspzamhxue69uhkv6tvw3jhytnwdaehgu3wwa5kuegzyzf433nkjhv70z7790euu84s55ze25mgwce2zal86fw7alul9yf0cqcyqqqqqqg0as7j0

Certains Bitcoiners qui ne connaissent rien de l'histoire géopolitique ni tout simplement en politique du siècle dernier devraient se taire ni supporter qui que soit ...restons sur des histoires très complexes on a bien vu un bitcoiner qui devenu président se comporter comme un dictateur. Arrêtons le feu surtout en Amérique du Sud et Centrale y compris en Europe et Afrique

Aujourd'hui il se comporte tel un dictateur c'est triste ..N'achète que des armes et crée des prisons . Rapprochez vous de HRF ou d'Amnesty International.. Même dans son parlement les élus votent dans un cadre entourés de forces de l'ordre idem qu'Erdogan la quasi-totalité des jeunes sont en prison

I think Latin America has a very complex and long-suffering history. I recommend you read "The Open Veins of Latin America" by Galeano. Also calling someone to silence here is not very #Nostr in a protocol based on censorship resistance. Best regards.

"devraient se taire" is not the same as "shut up" as the automatic translator says. To me it sounds more like "should be more quiet/cautious". The tone of the sentence is lost in translation, I think.
