The adoption rated in Argentina is quite low at the moment. The gov's  uncertain policy to Bitcoin is dramatically hindering the growth of adoption rate and the development of bitcoin's business. Hopefully they will come to realize the benefits Bitcoin will bring to them and embrace it. 

Argentina had already many economic experiments, for example the pension system

So Argentine government is cautious and is not taking bitcoin with open arms.
Also "Hopefully they will come to realize the benefits Bitcoin will bring to them and embrace it." I think it's still a bit too early to say how it will all work out (Russia is banning btc as is China, btc future in USA is uncertain)

Well I like your thread title about the article more than the other thread's.  Argentina is a great combination of educated citizenry and computer infrastructure with fiscal malpractice where bitcoin could really help the people out.

Ha, yes, "disruption" is the term used by NYT.  I didn't see that other thread but many of the folks in there are using the wrong definition of "disrupt".  There's disrupt as in what a loud noise does to people at a library, but then there's disrupt meaning a change of paradigm, where the disruption is leading to new ways of doing things.  I think it's this latter usage which NYT is meaning.
