Argentine libertarian Presidential candidate and Bitcoin enthusiast Javier Milei has shocked the world by emerging victorious in Argentina\u2019s recent primary elections. The pro-Bitcoin advocate scored the majority of the votes, making a stinging win during the Primaries on August 13.<\/span><\/p>\n Javier Milei, an outspoken Argentine economist, is known for his sharp criticism of traditional politics and his fervent support of cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin. Due to this, previous poll predictions had stated that Milei would score no higher than third place in the recent elections.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n However, Milei decimated the <\/span>August elections<\/span><\/a> with a stunning display of voter support, accumulating over 30% of the 90% of votes counted. Milei leads the libertarian party, \u201cLa Libertad Avanza\u201d and the party is dominating with 32% of votes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In comparison, Argentine presidential candidates like Patricia Bullrich in \u201cJuntos por el Cambio\u201d (Together for Change) party received 28.14% votes, and Sergio Massa in \u201cUnidos por la Patria\u201d (Union for the Homeland) party received 26.84% votes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n From the onset, Milei has attracted the attention of the Argentine population through his outspoken support of cryptocurrency, lack of political interventions, and the abolishment of the country\u2019s central bank.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Milei has stated that the country’s central banks should be destroyed to eliminate corrupt political authorities that influence the country’s economy and inflation rates. He has also said that Argentina\u2019s adoption of bitcoin cryptocurrency would help create a more stable and accountable government, reducing government bureaucracy and improving the country\u2019s declining economy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThe central bank is a scam, a mechanism by which politicians cheat the good people with inflationary tax,\u201d Milei stated.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The daily reality of the Argentine country is filled with significant growth fluctuations, high inflation, and a deteriorating GDP. Argentina\u2019s inflation is the third highest in the world, following Venezuela and Lebanon. Reports also state that the country faces one of the worst economic crises since the depression from 1998 to 2002.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Recently, Argentina has hit new record lows against the dollar weekly. Since the beginning of 2023, the Argentine peso has lost 24% in value against the dollar, resulting in black market rates selling one dollar for 500 pesos. Argentina is also in debt, owing the International Monetary Fund (IMF) an astonishing $44 billion.<\/span><\/p>\n Milei\u2019s approach toward adopting cryptocurrency triggers several governmental agencies, including the IMF, which strongly opposes Bitcoin cryptocurrency. Milei\u2019s manifesto includes plans to dollarize the country\u2019s economy, which aims to stabilize the country\u2019s native currency.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nJavier Milei Demolishes Electoral Competition<\/h2>\n
