Bitcoin in Argentina

Post by Xan »

Interesting article:

http://www.nytimes.com/2015/05/03/magaz ... .html?_r=1

“In the long run, Bitcoin will be very disruptive to the developed world,”? Dan Morehead, a former Goldman Sachs executive who now runs a hedge fund focused on Bitcoin, told me. Things are happening sooner in Argentina, he said, because its financial system creates hassles for the people there. But, he added, “Argentina is just a more extreme example of the situation in every country.”?

My prediction is that, in the long run, Bitcoin will be exactly as disruptive to the developed world as Beanie Babies, and for exactly the same reasons.
Anyway, Argentina isn't part of the developed world, economically at least.
