[snipped Argentina anecdote]

in other words, places like Argentina are where the real Bitcoin culture is actually taking place, people in that country actually need it. Out of >300,000 tx/day, a significant proportion are happening in places with strict capital controls and/or monetary chaos, out of actual necessity (so also Venezuela, Turkey, China, Brazil...)

These are the real marketplaces for the cryptocurrency space. Only idealists are interested in places with (relatively) stable local fiat, in Argentina, BTC is realism
