In a recent discussion at LaBitconf in Buenos Aires, Diana Mondino, the elected representative of La Libertad Avanza, shed light on the party’s ambitious plans for Argentina’s economic future, particularly if Javier Milei secures the presidency.
The focal point of their proposal revolves around the concept of “freedom of currencies,” a policy aimed at allowing individuals to engage in legal contracts using various currencies, including Bitcoin.
Mondino passionately argued against the current constraints imposed by the government, emphasizing the need for a more flexible approach to currency transactions. She highlighted the hindrances faced by citizens wanting to buy dollars and expressed concerns about judicial interference in Bitcoin contracts.
The panel also explored the idea of the Central Bank incorporating Bitcoin into its reserves, a proposition met with resistance by Mondino, who asserted that the government’s track record suggests a risk of mismanagement.
The La Libertad Avanza representative outlined their vision for immediate economic changes under Milei’s potential presidency, including eliminating forced currency circulation and ensuring that individuals are not compelled to pay for undisclosed contracts.
Economist Alfredo Roisenzvit echoed these sentiments, foreseeing a future where multiple monetary systems coexist, leveraging technology such as Bitcoin to facilitate trust in contracts without intermediaries.
The moderator, Gonzalo Blousson, emphasized the pivotal role of monetary reform in shaping a better world. The consensus among panelists was clear: embracing diverse monetary options is the path forward for Argentina, signaling a potential economic revolution under Milei’s leadership.
