In current-day Argentina inflation is no joke and prices change every day. That means it’s fertile ground for bitcoin and crypto adoption. “The central bank has warned repeatedly about the risk of investing in volatile digital currencies, and some adopters are taking it carefully,” Reuters diyor. Once in a blue moon, mainstream media reports on bitcoin and crypto in a relatively positive light, and Argentina inspired one of those rare articles.
According to Reuters, “crypto penetration in Argentina was 12%, around double the level of Mexico and Brazil.” The cause might be that the peso “has depreciated 14% this year against the dollar” and that “annual inflation rose to 58% in April and could go as high as 70% this year.” Not only that, Argentina is under “capital controls limiting foreign exchange to $200 monthly.” So, there’s a huge incentive to seek refuge in bitcoin and stablecoins.
Arjantin'den: Kafe Sahibi
In the Buenos Aires port of Puerto Madero, the Crypstation cafe recently opened. Screens show “real-time cryptocurrency price quotes” and they accept bitcoin and crypto. Reuters quotes one of Crypstation’s founders, Mauro Liberman:
“Yerel ortam insanları kripto para birimlerindeki sermayelerini korumaya zorluyor ve bu nedenle büyümenin hızlandığını görüyoruz. Latin Amerika genelinde büyüme potansiyeli çok büyük. Bu durdurulamayacak bir çığ.”
Arjantin'den: BT Uzmanı
Another interviewee is Victor Levrero, “an IT specialist in Buenos Aires province” who “puts his extra savings into stablecoin and bitcoin each month after using up his $200 quota to convert pesos to dollars.” He told Reuters that he doesn’t even bother with banks anymore:
“Temel olarak daha az kaybettiğim için. Arjantin'de enflasyonun yüzde 60-70 arasında olduğu ve sabit vadelerin yüzde 30-35 oranında ödendiği bir ortamda bu iş yürümüyor.”

Arjantin'den: Serbest Çalışan Bilgisayar Teknisyeni
Even though he’s in computers, Marcelo Vila only has “a small amount invested in bitcoin and Ether.” He’s proceeding with caution, as all newcomers should:
“Fikir, kriptoya yatırılan fonların oranını artırmak. Ancak kripto piyasasını tanıyana kadar oraya çok fazla para yatıramam.”
From Argentina: The Home Miner
The fourth subject is Sebastian Carsorio, who comes from a poor neighborhood and “is looking to dig himself out of poverty using a home-made cryptocurrency mine he assembled with recycled computer parts from his work.” Impressive.
“I repaired the things and put it together in a computer,” he told Reuters at his home, where he had screens showing how the mining is going. He started with Ethereum and then bitcoin – which allowed him to buy some land and go back to school.
Carsorio, "Madencilik yapmaya devam edeceğim çünkü bu, tasarruf etmenin iyi bir yolu" dedi ve peso karşılığında sokakta elde edeceği döviz kurundan daha iyi bir döviz kuru elde ettiğini açıkladı. “Paranın kısıtlı olduğu zamanlarda madencilik beni birçok kez kurtardı.”
How many Argentinians could say something similar? Bitcoin and crypto are taking hold in the country because people need them. The hükümetin FMI ile imzaladığı anlaşma that specifically demanded for them to discourage the bitcoin industry in Argentina can only do so much. People need a refuge from inflation and cryptocurrencies provide it, it’s as simple as that.
Kriptoların benimsenmesini yansıtan son haberlerde, Bitfarms yakın zamanda motoru çalıştırdı. brand new bitcoin farm in Argentina. Kendi adına, hükümet Mendoza'nın şarap üretim bölgesi açıklandı kripto para birimleri cinsinden vergi ödemelerini kabul edeceklerini söyledi.
