This could be the engine under the next big price push, and Argentina is but one of several countries being crushed by hyperinflation and never ending debt:

Watched it.  Only eight minutes.

That was very good.  Like a breath of fresh air.

If one can not confer upon another a right which he does not himself first possess, by what means does the state derive the right to engage in behaviors from which the public is prohibited?

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

The next bitcoin ATM must be installed in Argentina to help them.

bitcoin was on the media for two weeks; but it's still really difficult to get bitcoins here (except for localbitcoin), you need a special permission for international bank transfers... and you also need a permission to buy foreign currencies.  Undecided

bitcoin has no nationality so it makes no sense to call it foreign =P
