Only idealists are interested in places with (relatively) stable local fiat, in Argentina, BTC is realism

The implication is then that as more countries devolve in to monetary chaos, bitcoin usage doesn't just become advantageous but pretty much necessary. It begins with countries like Zimbabwe and Argentina which have rapidly devaluing currencies, but all fiat currencies are, by nature, devaluing. "Strong" currencies such as USD, EUR, GBP and so forth are still facing a horrendous few years: impending recession, out of control and ever growing debts and deficits, increasing inflation, chronically low interest rates, trade wars and new tariffs, etc.

People are feeling squeezed. The same paycheck doesn't go as far anymore. Rents going up. Food prices going up. Insurance going up. Fiat value going down. Bitcoin looks ever more attractive.
