Milei is known for being against legal tender laws so this is in line.
Interesting nonetheless that she first mentioned bitcoin. And only then crypto, liters of milk, etc.

The btc, aka the stone of jordan, will absolutely dominate a free market of money without regulation.

Any data points to back this up?
Will the contracts be in USD value or straight amounts of “crypto”? If the former, why wouldn’t everyone just use stablecoins, on the cheapest shitcoin chain?

Each person more retarded than the next. How the fuck would anyone have data about a thing they are predicting will happen that has not yet happened?
