I was listening to a podcast this morning and the fellow was talking about Latin America, bitcoin adoption, Bukele. He noted how it seems that developing and pre-developed nations seem to jump into bitcoin or crypto more eagerly than the comfortable wealthy nations. That, and those nations with political and/or economic unrest are getting in. Likely he's correct. Of course, Milei came up.
As far as I can tell, Milei hasn't said too much about bitcoin or cryptocurrency but has more of a use-whatever-money-you-want mentality. I guess, money-neutral might be a phrase to apply. The podcast speaker mentioned that Argentinians might well use bitcoin or a stablecoin (Tether was mentioned).
This made me wonder:
1. What is the bitcoin/stablecoin/cryptocurrency usage in Argentina now?
2. Will Milei's open door will see an increase?
Anyone know of any stat sources on this?
