Title: Re: Bitcoin documentary: Argentina Post by: Frozenlock on April 20, 2013, 02:12:06 AM Is Bitcoin really catching on in Argentina, or is it Cyprus all over again?

This would be your best resource to try to figure that out. https://localbitcoins.com/country/ar Title: Re: Bitcoin documentary: Argentina Post by: SwarmStream on April 20, 2013, 02:26:58 AM Is Bitcoin really catching on in Argentina, or is it Cyprus all over again? This would be your best resource to try to figure that out. https://localbitcoins.com/country/ar Actually, there is much more exchange going on via the mailing list here: http://wiki.eudemocracia.org/en/bitcoin I've been subscribed to that list for three months now and the amount of buy/sell requests has exploded. I would guess at least a couple dozen new topics are started every day. Title: Re: Bitcoin documentary: Argentina Post by: Operatr on April 20, 2013, 03:46:02 AM Like many scared citizens, their trust in big banking is failing at a rapid pace. Can you imagine if USD was inflating at 25% per year? They want out, and Bitcoin is a way to do that and put what wealth they have left into a system the banks can't touch.
This, ladies and gentleman, is why Bitcoin will succeed. I don't see the populace's opinion of banks is likely to shift back in their favor either, as anything more than highway robbers.

Title: Re: Bitcoin documentary: Argentina Post by: bitchris on April 20, 2013, 08:55:27 AM This is excellent. The best Bitcoin movie I've seen so far.
Title: Re: Bitcoin documentary: Argentina Post by: btcven on April 20, 2013, 02:13:43 PM Really good video!
It has been the same in Venezuela for years in the monetary control. A similar video could be done there to spread the word, except the fact that they both meet at Starbucks, obviously there's no Starbucks at Venezuela LoL! Title: Re: Bitcoin documentary: Argentina Post by: IIOII on April 20, 2013, 05:26:36 PM Watched it. Excellent.
Only there is some humming in the audio in some scenes (variable pitch) - you can filter that easily with a notch filter in Audacity. Keep up the good work! Title: Re: Bitcoin documentary: Argentina Post by: virtualmaster on April 20, 2013, 06:06:02 PM The next bitcoin ATM must be installed in Argentina to help them.
Title: Re: Bitcoin documentary: Argentina Post by: Frozenlock on April 20, 2013, 07:31:56 PM Anyone knows how much these ATMs cost?
