Yes, a lot of people think that. The β€œofficial” dollar value don’t exists πŸ˜• If you want to buy that dollar, just a few people can buy it in the banks (and just $200) because there is restrictions, but even that, you have to add taxes to that official value, so the current official dollar value is 433 pesos (251 pesos + taxes), so people buy β€œillegal” dollar (also called dollar blue) in an exchange, that dollar cost 493 pesos, that’s why the picture you posted is wrong .

*Official dollar value: 262 pesos + taxes

Yes I'm aware of the terrible economic situation in your country and I'm glad that you and your people have an alternative with Bitcoin.

I wonder what the future has to offer now that ECB puppet Ursula is attempting to strengthen the EU's ties with your country - to secure your national resources for the EU.

To be honest I know nothing about ECB πŸ˜• and the future, but what I can say is that bitcoin is very helpful for us now. So I’m very grateful to discover it.

Why terrible? Consumer prices don't keep up with money printing, but dollar (and BTC) does, so people can store their wealth in dollars or BTC and enjoy decreasing price of living πŸ˜‰

When you earn in pesos, don’t have money to save and even to make ends meet, the situation is terrible.

Yeah, I would look for a way to earn in dollars or BTC. On the other hand, I heard, that it's almost impossible to fire anyone. So one can receive paychecks in pesos and have some unofficial work providing dollars under the table.

Overall, people in Argentina don't seem to care as much about money as Americans πŸ’°. Argentinians are more about family and children ❀️

What I find amazing is that the people of any country plagued by hyper-inflation and destroyed economies automatically opt-in on Bitcoin and I couldn't agree more on your ethical notion. LATAM countries among others (like Spain) still prioritise family, community and life over money. It's #puravida as we say on nostr but on a whole different level and it's tougher yet more rewarding (non-financial)

I can imagine, to some extend.

Thank you for the sats! πŸ™
