Printing new money can help in the short run, but in the long run, this will inevitably lead to a depreciation of money and inflation. Bitcoin can act as a store of value, on a par with, for example, precious metals, but can the broad masses of Argentines afford it?

The question of affordability doesn't arise with Bitcoin. Because, unlike the fiat currencies, Bitcoin is infinitely divisible. If you want to go for investment in Bitcoin, then there is no minimum threshold on the amount that you can invest. You can go for $1,000 or $10,000. Or you can even go for $10.

Wait, its not infinite, there are 8 decimals. Compare it with my country's money and you will see this is not trivial. 1 bolivar (VES) currently buys 3 satoshis. Soon we would need 2 for 1 satoshi, etc.

Of course Bitcoin could be soft-forked for extra decimals, but i think the need for that might be decades away, if ever.
