The surge of interest in bitcoins in Argentina comes as bitcoin software downloads taper globally. That’s because software dowloads are coming off of an uptick that occurred in April as investors in the European periphery turned to bitcoin to circumvent capital controls during the Cyprus debt crisis. Since early June, Argentina has been the only country from the top 50 countries in terms of bitcoin downloads to increase its rate of download.

Makes sense given that Argentina is probably one of the toughest places to spend the local currency on bitcoins, so people are forced to used the qt, right?

Argentina. Too much inflation here. But not only here. Goldman Suchs are killing the savings from all over the world.
Choices are: Gold, silver, shares, estates, ?

gold and silver are too dangerous to keep
shares are too dangerous because Goldaman and are no good for saving
dollar 20 billion printed! Ponzi fraud! is going down here and the media says it's because the investment. NO! lies!

The only 2 investment to save (and may be not to win) BC and buildings.

Is difficult to get bitcoins and more difficult is not to buy at the worst price of the day.
