I think you're mixing things. Argentina elected a new president 5 months ago and that talk was at Davos so he was in office for only 1 month. The "capital controls" and "huge corruption" are things from the previous populist administration. This new president is a huge relief for me as Argentinian, he has Great Vision and Leadership in all this new era for Latin America politics (Venezuela imploding, Brazil crisis, new position for Cuba, etc).

Bitcoin is really well accepted here btw, there are already some bars, taxis and stores that accept it. The majority of them uses BitPagos that is an Argentinian enterprise that is making the process of accepting bitcoin a 5 minutes thing, awesome for small companies and freelancers.
