Milei is crushing it in Argentina’s primaries. I’ve never in my life seen a strong libertarian candidate get results like this.

Wow. So I guess he is pro bitcoin since he is libertarian?

Yepp - wants to abolish Argentine central bank

That seems... Significant. Do we have any precedent in the last 30-40 years of a major nation electing a leader who is openly jockeying for central bank abolition?

nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft is decades of reckless printing and spending enough for change in the eyes of Argentinians?

The Argentinian people are realizing that fixing the money is the only problem that matters. 120% YoY inflation means the pro-"currency competition" candidate shoots to the top "like a SCUBA diver's fart" as they say in Argentina ;)

I like this guy for 2 reasons:

• he has 80’s hair

• he is pro-bitcoin

Lo que me gustó mucho que eligió el color púrpura como #nostr

… in a G20 economy, with a candidate that understands bitcoin, and has promised to abolish the central bank and bring a free market in currency…

He's not so clean as it seems, a member of the wef he don't gets where he is without being shot or making some kind of deal.

Oasis for president

I assume the field will consolidate soon though, right? So after that happens, he’s probably in third?

There's already a total % per party. I assume opposing parties won't consolidate?

Yeah, not sure what happens to that 11% “other” at the end, assume they back one of the leaders?

This was an interesting English language podcast about Milei from 2021:

Explaining Brazil: Argentina's far-right lion

Someone else to watch is Carlos Maslatón who sounds like the guy advising Milei about Bitcoin.

How strong is president's role in Argentina?

As you are following Argentina news you have prbably listened to this interview.

Diana Mondino is first in line for congress and senior economics advisor to Milei..

Worth listening

He is the hope for latin america… i wish after his win he could inflamate people in other countries like Brazil to emerge for freedom

Isn't Doug Casey an advisor to this guy?

Doug Casey lives in Argentina and talked briefly about Milei in his recent talk with Saifedean. The tldr is he likes him but isn't involved in his campaign. I highly recommend the episode:

The Bitcoin Standard Podcast: 180. Applied Anarcho-Capitalism with Doug Casey

Yeah it was a good one. That's where I got the reference.
