The Argentine Minister of Economy, Sergio Massa, had words of praise regarding Carlos Maslatón, the pro-Bitcoin lawyer famous for his media appearances.

One of Massa’s requests for Maslatón was advice regarding cryptocurrencies. Specifically, the assembly of an official team to guide you on this issue. “Now in Argentina there is a well-known international meeting on cryptocurrencies [LABITCONF] and I am asking you to bring together as many people as possible from that suit to try to understand on what economic theory the generation of value is anchored there“, expressed the minister. Maslatón, for his part, thanked him for social networks. “Very kind for this appreciation, dear Minister Massa. And I highly appreciate his efforts to move Argentina forward. We are just at the beginning of the reconstruction and things will get better and better“, he commented.
It is estimated that Massa’s request comes hand in hand with the arrival of Labitconf in Argentina. It is possible that the first approaches of Massa, as Minister of Economy, to cryptocurrencies will be with referents who come to Argentina to participate in the event. Massa’s position was welcomed by the crypto world, since the politician has not gone out to cross Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies On the contrary, he was interested in learning more about this aspect of the new finances.
