ARGENTINA COULD BE THE 1ST COUNTRY USING BITCOIN AS OFFICIAL CURRENCY

[bitcoinpropaganda]

After the default in Argentina, their gov could be on a perfect position to implement Bitcoin as a national currency.


But first the president Cristina Kirchner (@CFKArgentina) needs to know about this option, and the benefits of doing such incredible change.


We should make an international campaign/effort to convince her that this would be the best to do, and we should do it fast before the CITIBANK/JP MORGAN/FED take care of their debt.

Checks name *bitcoinpropaganda". Yep, seems about right.

I very much doubt even argentina is going to be using bitcoin any time soon, though it's use may grow there, but bitcoin is hardly a stable currency at the moment either.

If you don't have something useful to say please do not say anything at all.

Sounded pretty useful from here.

The odds of this happening are so close to zero that it makes a btc address collision seem likely.

An authoritarian, socialist like the President of Argentina will do nothing that takes her control and power away which is what this idea would do. Her empty statements about helping the poor are nothing more than platitudes to appease the masses and maintain her power.

It would be a benefit for Argentina but won't happen.

Yes, but it wont happen. You could use many examples of where bitcoin can be used for the greater good, but it wont happen. If it was going to be used in Argentina it could be used all over the world, but it just wont happen.

Sorry, but the headline just sounded like propoganda or fanatacism to me.

Their government would never do this, a large percentage of their people might though. As well as the people of Ecuador, Egypt, Pakistan, Venezuela, Belize, Cuba, Cyprus, Greece, Jamaica, and Ukraine

All nations facing bankruptcy and therefore devaluation of their national currency.

Many will see it as an opportunity, but we all know governments and banks will always discourage its use until they find a way to benefit themselves.

Governments discourage a lot of things, pot smoking, prostitution, culture sharing (slandered by governments as "piracy"). Free-thinking people generally don't give a damn.

Any law prohibiting individuals from dealing in cryptocurrency is fundamentally an unenforceable joke.

Please, governments of the world, give us more reasons to laugh at you. We hardly need them, but they sure are fun.

Very interesting idea really but to make such great change in one country is not easy, it requires changing a lot lows, preparing people for this, informing public, bank regulations, financial regulations...
Of course, first you will need to get support from politicians who probably rarely using even simple email and it's question how much they can understand Bitcoin concept.
I really doubt such idea is possible now.

Do citizens in Argentina know about bitcoin?

This would result in Argentinians benefiting, not the government.
The government usually has its best interest at heart while taking decisions.

They don't need to prohibit, they just need to "regulate" it as they say. In other words, adapt it to their schemes so that nothing changes for them and they keep profiting.

This wont happen for a few reasons,one South America is trying to get more power and to join bitcoin would just weaken their hand.
The force from the other countries alone would make them think twice.

Think your best bet would be New Zealand but even then I am most likely way off.

So many disillusioned people… A big country like Argentina would never give up control of the money supply.

Not unless the people rose up and took control of it themselves.

Bitcoin is like the tide coming in. Small pools form randomly across the beach and grow in size until they become one with the oceans.
