They have approximately .5% of their GDP in BTC, but good for them.

I have no live lost for the IMF, but I can understand that they want countries to avoid assets that have a tendency to swing down 80% or more each cycle.

I’m well aware of the long term growth of BTC, but the volatility is an understandable concern.

Argentina has defaulted on its debt around 8 times. Surely, now that they can’t utilize digital assets, they’ll finally stabilize.

I believe the large majority of cryptos used in Argentina are stablecoins.

quote:

Dealing with a severe economic crisis and plunging peso, 60% of Argentine crypto purchases on Bitso were for dollar-based stablecoins USDT and USDC and just 13% of buys were for bitcoin.

This compares to Colombia, Brazil and Mexico, where stablecoin purchases ranged between 31% and 40% of total crypto buys.
