The good thing is: Bitcoin adoption is probably about to go sky high down here too!

With their track record, Argentina and Brazil should produce a currency even worse than the US dollar once they have their own printing press.

A step in the right direction. It's like it now requires two signatures instead of one to print money. But let's see.

Minus x Minus doesn't actually end up positive in monetary policy. Good that the young generation in both countries seem to understand BTC...

I think we (argies) are just one more hiperinflation away from hiperbitconization.
This may seem far-fetched for people whose money is a little better than Monopoly's 🧐 money but here in not that far away. In 20y I've seen prices multiplyed by a factor of 200x at minimum

Sorry to hear that. Seems like such a beautiful country and culture that it is a shame to see the money broken.

Never mind, that is the main reason why I think Bitcoin will catch up like wild fire here! Is not a coincidence that some well know wallets are from argentine devs like muun.

Fore those who don't like paywalls you can use "12ft.io is like "show me a 10ft wall and I'll show you a 12ft ladder". I'll say that works 80% of the time, really simple, just add "12ft.io/" before the link of the page.
