Yeah the only reason Argentina's financial crisis isn't making bigger news is because it's being overshadowed by the financial crisis in Venezuela...but the inflation in Argentina is getting to the point where they're basically a lighter version of Venezuela right now.

Argentina needs to turn into Venezuela 2.0 in order to become more news worthy. I haven't seen one bit of coverage on Argentina's financial problems locally, but almost daily plenty of Venezuela and its refugees.

You really have to dig into everything yourself if you want to know what's going on in the world, because news outlets only show you what they think is relevant for their income, which is somewhat retarded but also understandable.

It's a business and as long as that is the case, we'll have to accept that these things happen. I'm glad that everything is just a couple of clicks away on the internet, so we don't depend on them to feed us news.

You're not hearing about Argentina because Venezuela is so bad that they're overshadowing everything. It's like comparing a company that's losing $5 million versus a company that's losing $25 million...everyone will talk only about the company that's losing $25 million but it doesn't mean the other company isn't doing badly.

But I agree, you have to search for news nowadays and not just rely on what the media feeds us. The truth is that Argentina's inflation is really bad and they're on the verge of an economic crisis...so it's smart that they're turning to Bitcoin now before it's too late.
