Whether it’s dollarization (which would be a temporary triage of sorts) or Bitcoin adoption, the two leading presidential candidates, and the vast majority of the population, are in favor of abandoning the peso, and therefore the Argentinian Central Bank. Perfect void for Bitcoin to move into in similar fashion to what has occurred in El Salvador. Argentinians actually know who Bukele is and are pointing to the drop in crime and rise in economic optimsm as an example to follow.

Oh I didn't know more than 1 Pres candidate favoured BTC. That's impressive. Is it both the front runners? What's your sector of work?
Correct, both are frontrunners. As I’m Argentinian I’ll be partking in my first presidential election to vote for Bitcoin one way or another. I’m a mortgage broker about to sell my house for BTC if you want another interesting topic to kick around, lol.
Former 9th Grade English teacher and ESL intstructor as well, would love to hear more about your work with teachers. Planning on implementing some sort of community-focused BTC education and advocacy in Córdoba, Argentina where I’ll be located.
Oh wow. Same trajectory!!!
I'm in contact with the Mi Primer Bitcoin developers who are working to implement BTC curriculum in El Salvador with a 10 week Bitcoin Diploma Program. There's a download free source on GitHub.
Amazing, was unaware! I have some mutual contacts down there and intend to (hopefully) make a trip to glean some of the lessons they’ve learned along the way. Tip of the spear initiative they’ve got going on down there!
I’m in lending bc if I can’t orange pill people the 2nd-best route for wealth preservation for 9/10 retail folks is owning their primary residence as long as their mortgage is decently below inflation and they didn’t buy a money pit. Also looking into helping people cash in their equity to buy abroad, but that’s a work in progress.
