Ramiro Marra, one of the members of the Council of Economic Advisors of the president of Argentina, Javier Milei, assured that bitcoin (BTC) is more than a financial investment.
This was expressed by the deputy of the City of Buenos Aires for La Libertad Avanza (LLA) through a publication in your personal X account.
“Bitcoin is more than an investment: it is financial freedom and a way to protect our money from state manipulation,” were the words the economist used to refer to the digital currency created by Satoshi Nakamoto.
In that sense, Marra added: “In a world where political power always tries to intervene, bitcoin is the currency of those who value independence.”
This is not the first time that the legislator recognizes the importance of bitcoin and cryptocurrencies to speed up transactions, reduce intermediaries and, in addition, guarantee traceability.
For example, in 2023, in the middle of Javier Milei’s electoral campaign, Marra had voiced: “If we dollarize, in my case I will choose to have assets that give me profitability, for example bitcoin, because that allows dollarization, so that you can do whatever you want with your money.”
In 2021, Marra celebrated when BTC reached $35,000, “not only for financial reasons, but mainly because any option that takes control of the currency away from a national government is good for a society.” Furthermore, he highlighted: “The future of society is technological, cryptographic and digital.”
As CriptoNoticias has reported, President Javier Milei’s plan includes a monetary reform that aims to eliminate the Central Bank of the Argentine Republic (BCRA) of that country and the establishment of a regime of free currency competition, known as “dollarization.” ”.
If implemented, both fiat currencies and bitcoin and other digital assets could be freely used as a medium of exchange. As long as the providers and demanders of the products and services so agree.
For his part, President Milei expressed himself on several occasions in favor of BTC, although he did not define himself as a bitcoiner.
However, it is worth clarifying that, almost a year after the start of his mandate, the financial entities that are under the BCRA regulatory orbit They are prohibited from offering the purchase and sale of BTC and cryptocurrencies.
