    The president of Argentina, Alberto Fernández , considered that it is "possible" that there is a legal tender cryptocurrency in the country , understanding that this instrument could "contain inflation."

    In an interview he gave to a local portal, the President said that the advancement of cryptocurrencies is "irreversible" , that it is necessary to give the debate and that Argentina must evaluate how to insert itself into that ecosystem.

    "You have to get used to it, take advantage of the good and regulate it in some way because it can lead to abuse," he stressed. In addition, he made a balance on the matter. Thus, while he stressed that "the advantage is that the inflationary effect would be nullified , " he said that it is a system that can be unsafe.

    "The discussion about the operation of cryptocurrencies is worldwide and I must confess that it is a matter of care, in my case, for the unknown. But there is no denying it, perhaps it is a good path." The president @alferdez with @juleiva in #CajaNegra of @filonewsOK . pic.twitter.com/tRCcnFA3pm

    • Alberto Fernández Prensa (@alferdezprensa) August 12, 2021 A day before, the president of the Central Bank of the Argentine Republic, Miguel Pesce, had expressed that cryptocurrencies "are not a financial asset", and guaranteed that the monetary authority will " regulate the intersection of Bitcoin with the payment system and the exchange market ".

    He also said that these are instruments "that end up having values ​​that are not referenced in any asset and lead to confusion for people with a lower level of information."

    Fernández joined the debate and assured: "There is a huge discussion about the operation of cryptocurrencies, not only in Argentina, it is a global debate. And I must confess that it is a matter of care. In my case, of care for the unknown and because you don't understand exactly how that fortune materializes. "

    "This doubt that I have many in the world have, for that reason the project does not finish expanding in the system", affirmed the Argentine Head of State.

    For Fernández, "they say that the advantage of this is that the inflationary effect is largely nullified. It is also true that insecurity is generated because there have been some scams with its use" and added that they should not refuse since "maybe it is a good way "

    The greatest advantage for us would have that sense, to somehow contain the inflationary, because it is a hard currency in some way , "he added.

    On the other hand, the Argentine President declared himself in favor of the development of the financial system.

    In that sense, he stressed: "For me, everything that has to do with bankarization seems to me to be correct and that everything that has to do with the State knowing, it seems to me to be correct. The problem is not that the State knows and that the information we have. The problem is how that information is used . "

    "For example, when we decided to remove the IFE , we suddenly discovered that there were 9 million Argentine men and women who we had no idea where they were . They do not have CUIT, they do not have CUIL, they did not have bank accounts," he emphasized.

    And he added that technology allows the State to obtain information from the population: "It helps me to know that Juan is having a bad time and needs the help of the State. And that Pedro is cheating us and is not paying the corresponding taxes."

    Planning to visit El Salvador on September with my friend and spend Bitcoin to show support.

    Posted: 12 Aug 2021 02:59 PM PDT

    I am not a Salvadoran nor do I speak Spanish, but because of the country's acceptance of Bitcoin as legal tender I would like to visit and spend some Bitcoin to support the country and people. Normally, I do not spend my coins at all. This is purely for support towards the country and the people.

    Just like the tulip mania in 1637! Perception change since 2017

    Just like the tulip mania in 1637! Perception change since 2017

    Do you guys remember all of the talk and media focus on how Bitcoin "is a bubble" and how it is just like the tulip mania of 1637? It is funny how all of that talk is now gone in 2021 -- and it was nonsense to begin with (since obviously tulips are lacking all advantages / characteristics of bitcoin) but in almost all conversations I had at that time around bitcoin, the no-coiner would refer to the tulip mania of 1637. In this cycle the media reporting switched to regulatory focus, which is clearly an improvement in the sense that it is the acknowledgement that bitcoin is here to stay.

    Is it a bubble?

    As a professional bartender, I let my guests pay with bitcoin~

    Posted: 12 Aug 2021 10:28 AM PDT

    I posted this in a comment a while back ago, but I think it's kind of... cool? And also important to hear for anyone working in the fiat world (especially food service workers), as they could maybe replicate the action or something similar.

    So I'm a bartender. Like, professionally. As in it's my main source of income to live, I do it 5 nights a week in a professional, semi-fancy restaurant. Note: This is a typical, fiat-only restaurant.

    I was chatting about crypto with a guest sitting at the bar who just happened to also be a bitcoiner, like me. So I did this thing... I offered to let him pay his bill in bitcoin.

    And he did.

    I got him to send me and equivalent amount to my wallet address (plus whatever tip he wanted, and he did tip well). And then I paid his tab for him myself.

    Perhaps there are even more ways to work BTC into today's world. Just letting you guys know that I'm out there, doing my part~ 💙
