I was looking for a proper time to promote this article, which is a chapter from the book "The Satoshi Papers: Reflections on Political Economy After Bitcoin". It is my paper from that book: "Argentina against Central Banking? The Election of Javier Milei"
It was written in 2023, during the presidential campaign in Argentina. Then candidate Milei was promising a full dollarization of the economy, free currency competition, and the central bank's closure. In my paper I argued not only that Milei is not a bitcoiner, as the international press thought at the time, but that it would be unlikely that he would be able to deliver on his campaign promises. You can read the full article here.
Fast forward to 2025 Q4, we have mid-term elections and the economic instability is palpable, the central bank is not only still open, but it strongly intervening the ARS/USD exchange rate to avoid price increases. It just blocked me from buying US dollars at the (fictitious) official rate because I was doing so to make 5% arbitrage at market price.
That is why I think there won't be a better time to make this article public.

Such good timing!
Delighted to share my recent interview with nostr:nprofile1qqsdvlnny5y042kq95gxjf2njfl8rtqs74kq5nvyuzkguxe3ry6qw5cjsru5j about my book, Coins, Currencies, Social Currencies and Cryptocurrencies!
I wrote this to bring academic rigor and an anthropological lens to the study of Bitcoin and digital money—filling a gap where most books focus only on basics, missing deeper social and empirical perspectives.
If you're a scholar or simply curious about how Bitcoin fits into the broader monetary landscape, you’ll find fresh insights here.
Two key takeaways: a holistic, evidence-based view of monetary systems, and a breakdown of common academic misconceptions about Bitcoin.

Charla de hoy con Superpioneros, sobre tesorerías de BTC.
Finalmente terminé con la traducción del artículo nostr:nprofile1qyx8wumn8ghj7cnjvghxjmcpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqqg9nzrks5498rn8c4qmgqvka8d9c8dav52zqhvg2f40xaa9k5nme8g68ujtq en Satoshi Papers: "Hacia una teoría antropológica del dinero".

Resumen:
"El dinero surge para resolver un problema de coordinación social: cómo liquidar de manera fiable las deudas o satisfacer a los acreedores en un mercado concreto con un bajo coste. Dado que es una solución a un problema, el dinero puede considerarse una tecnología social. Sostengo que el principio motivador de la economía lleva a los agregados humanos, con el tiempo, a seleccionar formas de dinero que funcionen mejor como parámetros técnicos que resuelven este problema más eficientemente al mejorar características específicas del dinero que funcionan como parámetros técnicos. (...) antes de presentar mi esbozo de una teoría del dinero, primero hago un balance del estado actual de las teorías antropológicas sobre el dinero, revisando con cierto detalle el relato presentado por el antropólogo David Graeber en su libro de 2011 Debt: The First 5,000 Years (En Deuda: Una historia alternativa de economía). Tras describir varias deficiencias fatales de la teoría de Graeber, propongo una teoría del dinero que, en mi opinión, está mejor fundamentada en las pruebas históricas y etnográficas."

The English printed edition of my book is finally live for whipping worldwide.
I wrote it as a grade thesis in Anthropology, wanting to bring Bitcoin into social sciences, and vice versa. Originally in Spanish, I've translated it myself and worked with nostr:nprofile1qy28wumn8ghj7cmpwfkx7uedvdjxytn5dacqzxrhwden5te0dphkgmrzdajzumn0wd68yvfwvdhk6qpqudjlzurkhc6c7zeju6u5a8lrhdeajt2x7vy9j4kz3ptdq2nspvtqettc8h on the edition.
The digital version is open access and you can find it in Archive, Academia, and Researchgate. If you want to have a physical copy, you can order it in the link below:

El agujero de conejo esquizo: entre el arte digital, la magia, la política y el mercado crypto
Mi opinión sobre la conferencia Bitcoin 2025 en Las Vegas.
Hoy me pasaron esta captura. Parece que ChatGPT ya me reconoce como una autoridad en la materia. Me siento honrado.
It's my birthday and BTC is on ATH.
Last year the halving was the same date as my work anniversary at Strategy, April 19th.
There signs are clear for me... 🙌

For future reference.
¿FOMO institucional por Bitcoin? Tesorerías y reservas estratégicas ganan lugar
