A member of the Government of the City of Buenos Aires estimated that Argentina is one of the countries in the world with the highest use of cryptocurrencies due to its economic problems. This was commented by Diego Fernández, the Secretary of Innovation and Digital Transformation, along with other specialists in the presentation of the Belo Mastercard card, where CriptoNoticias was present.
During the event, the founder of Belo, Manuel Beaudroit, asked the invited specialists why they believed that is used more bitcoinand others cryptocurrenciesin Argentina than in other countries. To this, they responded that the reason was largely due to the search of Argentines to overcome the economic problems that exist in the country.
Diego Fernández, who calls himself a fan of the world crypto, said: “The average knowledge in economic matters to survive, which we all have to have, is infinitely superior to any other society.” This is something that is evident in the conversations of any social gathering in Argentina, he indicated.
“That the dollar card, that the country tax…”, he expressed, exemplifying financial concepts that usually appear in a conventional conversation among ordinary citizens, despite their complexity. And he added: “it’s all a mess that forces us to learn about things that, if we lived in a better functioning country, we would not even have to know that they exist.”
The high level of financial knowledge and the need to want to overcome the difficulties of the economy, facilitates the interest and bitcoin adoption and other cryptocurrencies. On this, the industry communicator, NatyShi, added: “Latin America and Argentina in particular is a super creative society because the context asks us to be creative on a daily basis.”
“Sometimes I think we don’t realize that, but the reality is that we always find a way around everything. The famous “tying with wires”, finding a second possibility to things, makes one interested and curious to go deeper, “he said. For this reason, many Latin Americans found a solution or an opportunity in cryptocurrencies, he considered.

Pablo Sabbatella, another specialist, explained that a tool was found in cryptocurrencies that comes to solve problems derived from the traditional financial system. As an example, he mentioned the corralito of 2001, the currency that depreciates 50% annually and the numerous economic barriers. That makes cryptocurrencies necessary in Argentina as well as in Latin America, unlike the rest of the world, he considered.
Argentina has a great opportunity with cryptocurrencies
Official Diego Fernández stated that he personally believes that the cryptocurrency industry is a “phenomenal opportunity” for Argentines.. Even maybe one of the biggest they’ve ever had, she clarified. Not only because of the opportunities that its use allows, but also at the business level that can arise from Argentina.
Today the talent or the companies that are being created in Argentina are world class (of World class). It is not that we are implanting models or following in the footsteps of innovations that occurred elsewhere in the world. Today we have many solutions led by Argentines who are number one in the world, who are leading the way in this industry worldwide.
Diego Fernández, Secretary of Innovation and Digital Transformation of the Government of the City of Buenos Aires.
Regarding this, NatyShi commented that there are people passionate about the subject who are working in the industry because they believe that there are enormous opportunities to make a mark, in addition to making money. For this reason, there are many organizations in the Bitcoin ecosystem and cryptocurrencies that are of Argentine or Latin American origin.
According to Sabbatella, this has to do with the fact that in Argentina the software industry is highly developed. Proof of this are the unicorns that were created in the country, such as Globant and Mercado Libre, for example.
For all these reasons, Diego Fernández expressed that governments should not stop the use of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies with prohibitions or regulations that affect it. He considers it a mistake to cut something that is working fine without his control.
