Cristina Hitchens is a massive delusional spastic that doesn't get you can't defy the status quo without a more solid plan than saying "we are not paying that debt" then expecting things to not get royalty fucked up.

Just trying to get the vulture investors to back down.

No country has managed to mint its way out of a crisis.

May be they shoud try with cryptocurrencies. Cheesy

I don't think this would be possible. You cannot "mint" cryptos out of thing air. You must first make an investment (buy an ASIC(s)). If you are referring to them creating some kind of altcoin with coins premined then this would also make no sense as it would be unlikely that there would be any kind of demand for this (there is little demand for most alts).

First, all FIAT money is full premine. Second, this alt could be backed by the stated, and that can make it quite popular.

If the national currency is unpopular in a country then why would an atlcoin that is backed by the same country do any better? An altcoin as you describe would have less benefits and more drawbacks then a fiat based currency based by a specific country. The main difference is that an altcoin based currency would be subject to attacks on the network while a fiat based currency would not.

I think Turkey, now you mentioned it, could be a real contender. Turkey is very well integrated in the international tourism market, has a remittance population in Germany which sends money home and then there are those rules you mentioned. It was the exchange rules that convinced some Chinese to go big into Bitcoin.

I'm rather excited that now there is supposedly 4000 bank terminals in Ukraine which accept Bitcoin but the problem is I don't want to vacation in a country and have my hotel or hostel get blown up by a ballistic missile.

There are a lot of countries which seem to be 'ripe' for discovering bitcoin.

I think most altcoins see "hyperinflation" in their value, that is see their value tumble as people realize that the alt has no value that bitcoin cannot provide.

Even if they do come out with altcoins, its credibility would be linked to the Argentinian government. You would probably see hyperinflation in these altcoins too. Wink

I think that most altcoins experience hyperinflation as more people realize that they cannot offer any thing of value so people sell the coins. This results in the price of the altcoin more or less crashing.

Altcoins have no value to begin with. This is just the dump phase rather than "hyperinflation".

They get their value from the speculators in the market, instead of from the security of the network (miners) as what happens with bitcoin.

As you can see in Coinmap, in Argentina we have a lot of business which accepts bitcoins, 148 vs 154 from the other country in south america together

also we have some e-business like bitpagos, digicoins, http://enbitcoins.com (where you can pay taxes and services with bitcoin), two exchange (unisend and satoshitango)

on the other hand, we are near 40.000.000 inhabitants, so we still have a long road...

we have a new "revolutionary moventent".... LaSatoshi when we do a little publicity, it's a half joke, a half seriuos

You don't have to wait for long. Things will play out in the next couple of months.

The difference is that Argentina will likely be contained just in Argentina, while the problem in cypress could have easily spread throughout europe.

I wish we could be sure of that.

Just opening up the country and border will attract foreign capital. Undeveloped land will be bought up and develop by transnational companies and local labor/population will benefit from it.

The only worry is the gates can't be closed after that.
If the US begins to look more attractive, capital could rush out.
And that could lead to a lot more economic devastation.

Yep minting is never the solution to a financial crisis usually its development of the countries industries and diversifying the cash flow
The other way is infrastructure spending.
Hard to do when a country is in default though.

But printing more of something worthless would just make it worth less (har har)
Think the Zimbabwae Dollar or the Weimar republic as some examples.

Develop the country's industries, make sure the fiscal deficit is under control..... You will automatically attract capital.

This is about Argentina defaulting on its bonds. Bonds are denominated in USD so they can't print pesos to get out of mess. Not comparable to Cyprus situation. Cypriots bought bitcoin because imposed bank holiday

Stop thinking everything is good for bitcoin. LOL Roll Eyes

If Argentinians could buy USD, they would.
Depends on whether BTC is easier to lay hands on, or USD.
In the end, it could be good for bitcoin.

Did you read the story? Agentina is defaulting on some bonds. What does this have to go people converting their currency

The link is Argentina defaults --> Harder to get external credit --> More printing of pesos --> High Inflation.
In the end, people will have to look after themselves, if their pesos get devalued very quickly.

The bonds are denominated in USD though. Plus they're already having inflation problems. Why would they print more pesos? If anything they'll go back to pegging their currency or they'll go to IMF and be forced to follow whatever IMF reccomends

For regular Argentinian people I think they have already been buying USD but the govt placed limitation in Jan.

I'm gonna ask my Argentinian friend about it. I don't think in times of crisis most people will suddenly start speculating. I think they seek stability

This does work somewhat however the more pesos that are printed the less effective this becomes as this would cause a sell off in pesos.

I seriously doubt that the IMF will bail out Argentina as they are really too big of a country for the IMF to lend to. The IMF usually lends to countries with very small economies that never had access to capital markets while Argentina has had access to the capital markets.

Printing more ARS wont pay off USD denominated debts. They have to acquire USD from somewhere. Is Argentina bigger than S Korea in 1997? IMF actually proposed a restructuring in 2003 but plan was abandoned due to pressures from USA

Argentina could print pesos to buy dollars to pay back their debts. As they sell more pesos, the value of each peso would decrease so the more they print the less dollars they can buy on a per peso basis.

It doesn't work like that.

Now that I've researched the story in more detail. Its not that Argentina can't pay, they refused to pay some vulture funds and they got sued in US courts. The judges ruling forced them to miss bond payment and thats why credit rating was rated as default

But their money is still a mess
