Everything is left to the government to decide and do what will actually benefits her citizens since that is the major priority.
It may look like the government has plans to adopt cryptocurrency just like the way El Salvador did and is not still successful like the way the government proposed everything to the world. Maybe it only going to take a matter of time for things to work out the way it was planned. The government may not adopt Bitcoin fully now but that might be a plan for the future.

believe it or not, I am sure that when Miley is elected president of Argentina, she will make Bitcoin one of the legal tenders in Argentina, I say this because I see her being very frontal with fiat money whose power continues to decrease every year or what is commonly known as Inflation is called, but Bitcoin has been observed to be very immune to inflation!! Until now, its price has fluctuated and that is what makes many people see Bitcoin as a promising investment. Argentina is not a superpower and their influence when making Bitcoin a legal tender will be enormous.
I think we are missing some information. From all indications, I think they used Bitcoin and cryptocurrency as campaign strategy and not adoption for economical value. What I believe his government will do is to make bitcoin right for people to use and not enforce any form of ban or possibly as a legal tender but to solve economica inflation; NO! Bitcoin will not take Argentina out of inflation and I have my reasons for saying such.
Have you thought about it what will happened to foreign reserves if bitcoin depreciate due to unplan situations and unexpected things? What is going to bail them out in this difficult situations? It will not work but assuming they already had bitcoin when it was in it's lowest values, it would have been okay but the nature of bitcoin and it's volatility will sink them more on inflation when things become rough.
Since El Salvador bought bitcoin, they don't seem to be the driving force of the market after the market collapse, in fact they have remain silent for a while but there are economy is moving well and things are okay for them and I like the fact that the people can do bitcoin everyday without any questions, Argentina can follow the same pattern to allow adoption through its people.

Apparently this guy is not clueless and knows about the Austrian School of Economy. Hayek made a proposal a few decades go, to let the market decide what coin to use, not have a State monopoly of it. And that is precisely what this guy said would do: Close the Central Bank of Argentina which also serves to remove the wedge banks use for their legalized ponzi scheme known as fractional reserve. Central Banks were created for that first and issuing coins second. It is great that people there learn that putting money in banks is risky, and much better now without State protection.
The market can decide what to use, and that includes private made coins such as Bitcoin, at the same time, lose their trust of banks; win/win.

Honestly, this could be possible considering the new president, but more importantly if we could see this happen, it would be the biggest nation that has ever done this. For people who do not know about Argentina, they are not as poor as they seem, I mean the yare poorly managed, but if you look just 10 0years ago, they were one of the richest nations in the entire world, they were doing insanely well.
Just like how people went to USA and found resources and free land and got rich, same happened back at Argentina as well, then terrible politicians happened and they were not doing great. I am not saying this new president will be great, or even better, but he could be the type of person who could let bitcoin be legal tender.

Acceptance is different from adoption. Argentina will accept Bitcoin and regulate the usage, but adoption as legal tender similar to El Salvador is not possible thing in Argentina. Maybe in the long term they can realise the better part and consider it. For now people will be free to use cryptocurrency within the country unlike many other countries where it is banned. In some countries even people were arrested for holding cryptocurrency.
What's the reason why Argentina can't make bitcoin a legal tender? As you also said, people there are free to use bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in the country, which means the chances of the government making bitcoin legal tender are higher.
Inflation there has increased to 146% and that is a huge number. I don't think using bitcoin can help them completely escape inflation but they can try because like El Salvador, they are also slowly getting out of trouble since accepting bitcoin as legal tender.

Argentina's Peso stands against inflation and supports Bitcoin. Because bitcoin is the real people's currency because people who are currently connected to bitcoin are always satisfied with bitcoin. It is best to prioritize Bitcoin by following all the activities that are currently Bitcoin supported in Argentina. Argentina will continue to target El Salvador in the future as their interest in Bitcoin is high. Now, if the president of Argentina keeps bitcoins, then this bitcoin will protect him from the economic impact in the future. Because Bitcoin is a valuable asset only real people use Bitcoin.

Anything can happen just like El Salvador did. If they have difficulty improving the value of their currency, why shouldn't they try bitcoin even though there is no guarantee that they will succeed? But if they don't try, if they don't take risks, they will always fail. I support them if they make bitcoin legal tender. Like El Salvador before it, they no longer have any solutions to improve their economy so they may see bitcoin as an opportunity. While not yet successful, they have made significant improvements since accepting bitcoin as legal tender, and I believe Argentina has the same opportunity.

No!
The community cannot be so deluded with the idea Arg-Milei-bitcoin, hence announcement in the libertarian idea of the use of bitcoin and, the issue of eliminating the central bank does not mean that it has anything to do directly With bitcoin, nothing at all, it is a reference in your ideals, it does not mean that it is an execution in your government program. In fact, implementing the USD as the official currency is one of the first stages of his political plan.
The reality is that the implementation of certain laws for its use since there is certain legislation in this crypto matter, consequently that type of news is perhaps the most relevant in its government, at least in the short term to bitcoin.

picture source [img height=350 Javier Milley has won Argentina's second round of presidential elections. In Argentina's second round of presidential elections, Miley's opponent was left-wing candidate Sergio Massa.
and Also I love the Photo presenting Bitcoin by the president .
Quote
Almost 90 percent of the votes have been counted in Argentina's presidential election. According to the preliminary results, Millei got about 56 percent of the votes. Masa got about 44 percent of the vote.
that was close , a 12 percent deficit , hoping that now Bitcoin may be adopted to Argentina and next to the whole Latin America .also advance greetings to argentinian for this job well done.

making bitcoin legal tender is a difficult thing to do, especially for a country as big as argentina because it will be related to their financial and banking system. maybe argentina's elected president has a passion for bitcoin and calls it a solution to argentina's banking system, but argentina also has a parliamentary system which makes regulations in their country so that the president doesn't just work alone with his vision and mission.
so the implementation of bitcoin in argentina is very unlikely considering that the argentine government has many stakeholders and the president does not only work alone. maybe argentina will launch their cbdc, but making bitcoin legal tender is unlikely.

Argentina has signed agreements with the IMF that will not allow them to pull an "El Salvador" move, so starting by this, this will not happen. He has higher priorities on his to-do list that are mastodontic by itself, such as the dollarization. He's going to need many millions to fund this process. I could see high yield bonds being bought if he manages to create an interesting scenario for investors. If they are capable of adopting the required measures on each step, he may make it, but he does not have enough power to do it all by himself, he is going to need to find agreements with other parties, and he is also going to have internal and external enemies because they don't want to see a libertarian to do well.

It's Milei, not Milley.
Anyway, it's interesting to wait for this. There will surely be strong pressures from many sides not to do it. I'm sure President-elect Milei will be or is already receiving a lot of advice not to proceed dismantling the country's central bank or considering Bitcoin as a legal tender. Some might be borderline threat especially considering that Argentina is a member of G20.
Doing those might cost the country a lot. Milei's principles, will and courage, will all be tested now that he's already the president.

Adopting bitcoin might be a good idea too. The reason is that when El Salvador decided to adopt Bitcoin, at that time the country was also experiencing an economic crisis. So it's not wrong if Milley has the same thoughts as Bukele. Because currently El Salvador has experienced some quite good changes, after deciding to adopt bitcoin. Perhaps it was this positive impact that became Milley's big motivation to change the economic crisis in Argentina by using bitcoin. But even so, the possibility of changes to the economic system that can be achieved after adopting Bitcoin will probably take quite a long time.
November 21, 2023, 10:03:06 PM
So far, however, Milley has not explicitly proposed making Bitcoin legal tender in Argentina. If Milley proposes and implements it, Argentina will be the second country to use bitcoin as legal tender. As before, El Salvadar became the first country to use Bitcoin as legal tender in 2021.
It's hard to implement it because I just heard he wants to use the dollar to recover the economic country. So when he replaces the Peso with the dollar, I think he will face a conflict of interest between the two countries. he will also create CDBC which I think it's still a centralization economy on Argentina. But so far, I am happy to hear that figure who supports bitcoin become a leader a big country like Argentina. I hope next, there will be another figure who supports Bitcoin becoming a leader a big country like the USA, I just heard that Robert F. Kennedy Jr is very supportive of bitcoin. So if next, Milley and Robert to be president of both countries and work together on bitcoin. Maybe we can meet a big surprise for the price.

Hopefully not. There's more than meets the eye in El Salvador, as the country's in shambles over which currency to use, among other problems they are facing after the fact. To me, El Salvador's a cautionary tale of what you shouldn't do as part of your plan to massively adopt crypto in your territory, since the majority of people in El Salvador practically hates bitcoin and crypto, airing out how inconvenient it became for them to just buy stuff and transact on a daily basis.
Don't get me wrong, what I'm only hoping to convey here is that I hope Argentina's story's a little better than what we got with El Salvador, the country got their first crypto-supportive president, if done right, he could usher in a new age where people are more receptive of using crypto on a daily basis.

it is fine for me if btc won't be accepted as legal tender but just be open with crypto-related businesses. they can always regulate the usage of it by implementing laws and other protocols about it. but at least, be more open to possibilities relating to this market. the containment is hard, as basically anyone can just do their business on their own. but the government can always draft their protocols to this industry just like any other industry.

Well, that still remain uncertain as we are not yet sure if that is really the main goal of Milley. Being a bitcoin lover does not guarantee that he will eventually legalized bitcoin as a legal tender in their country. Let the citizens give their opinions and ideas about it first before he will take final action that will not come out as totally contradicting from the desires of the people. The role of the president is not to create a law for his own desires and satisfactions, but certainly for the benefit of all the citizens. If bitcoin could do that, then most probably the president will look into it at the time of his administration.
Most likely, he will create crypto-friendly laws first so that the people will test it if that will be effective or not, if that will be favored by majority or not. Otherwise, these people will form a strike just like the people of El Salvador when they first heard that bitcoin will be their legal tender.

In other words, Milley won by a margin of more than 10 percent of votes over Masa.
Milley was elected president of Argentina at a time when the country was in the midst of an economic crisis. Inflation is increasing in the countryArgentina's annual inflation has exceeded 140 percent.
Milley sees Bitcoin as a transformative solution to improve her standard of living in Argentina. He envisions it as a way to return control of money to the private sector. Milley sees the decentralized nature of Bitcoin as the right way out of the centralized control exercised by Argentina's traditional financial institutions, including the central bank. So far, however, Milley has not explicitly proposed making Bitcoin legal tender in Argentina. If Milley proposes and implements it, Argentina will be the second country to use bitcoin as legal tender. As before, El Salvadar became the first country to use Bitcoin as legal tender in 2021.

We can't be really sure if Javier Gerardo Milei will make Bitcoin legal tender in Argentina. We will have to wait for what his government is going or what direction it will be. Obviously, he will have to deal with a lot of problems first so maybe making Bitcoin as a legal tender will not be a his priority.
But if everything falls into pieces and he wanted to be the next country to legalized it, then by all means he can do that. And hopefully he learn from Bukele's regime, that it will not be an easy task as there will be always someone to opposed that legalization, just saying.
