Between the Argentinian push and China's newfound love of Bitcoin

http://getaddr.bitnodes.io/

I think we're on the verge of a major push upward. Strap in kids, now it gets interesting (not that it wasn't before but you get what I mean  Cool)

Though I fail to see how a price freeze fixes inflation? All that does is keep prices the same on products as the overall value of their currency continues to decline as the Peso dies. Keep kicking that can down the road...
Because if you were a stupid control freak fuck running  a country you'd think that OF COURSE YOU COULD CONTROL PRICES!!!!

Since the chart mirrors the worldwide surge in interest in bitcoin, it is not possible to see if people in Argentina are differentially interested MORE.

Have you thought about the possibility that this  Charts looked quite different in February?

The revolution will be monetized!
Wasn't Tradehill based in Argentina? Wish they had stuck around.
Chile I reckon.

yup chile
Tradehill is back in business. Their prime account is an excellent option for dealing with $10k+ transactions. I think Jered is in San Fransisco.

I looked for an opposing analysis than the typical one we hear from the media here that says Argentina is a "economic basket case", with hysteria about price controls and protests.

http://www.economonitor.com/lrwray/2012/10/09/mmt-argentina-and-views-on-inflation/

These articles have some good points.  We are talking about a country with the highest per capita GDP in South America.  It has had a super high rate of growth for ten years.  Obviously they are not a "basket case".  Who cares if they run up debt and then restructure to only pay back 30%.  They are pillaging the world.  But it is rather funny that debt collectors try to seize the presidential aircraft and navy vessels when they leave the country.

Argentina is such a economic mess.  They refuse to pay certain debt holders so they get their assets seized all over the world.  It is very cheap to move there and sell bitcoin for living expenses.

Bitcoin is antisemitic
I mean, confirmation bias much?

Well, keep shooting the messenger if that makes you feel better.
But you can find similar analyses on a number of different sites, and you can check the employment rate trend by yourself.
