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

[DaveSaldana123]

Well, maybe another 50 years I think.

[Champ92]

Well, I never heard about that. They shouldve wore BTC when they played FIBA.

[cubanos]

is there any update about this news?

[BIT-Sharon]

Their government would never do this, a large percentage of their people might though.

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.

Definitely

As official currency, forget it. That will never happen.
De facto usage by the people, that is also not as straightforward and seamless as you would imagine, although adoption is growing.

Official adoption might happen in smaller nations, or islands such as Dominica.

Would love to see that.

Would love to see that.

me too...and i hope in the near future, bitcoins will be accepted here in my locality...

From where are you sir? Are you from Argentina?

[bajlox]

To completely replace a fiat?    Still a long way to go. But BTC will surely prevail.

Maybe desperate attempt to do in Argentina, but far from replacement flat.

Still needs more time
