Carlos Maslatón, a prominent lawyer and Bitcoin advocate, has criticized Argentine presidential candidate Javier Milei's plans to dollarize the economy and suggested a Bitcoin adoption drive instead.
Milei has been a vocal advocate for USD adoption but has faced opposition from those who believe the dollar is imposed by force and lacks voluntary circulation.
Maslatón's comments have sparked a debate about the future of currency in Argentina, with some suggesting the country should consider innovative gold-backed cryptoassets. The government has also been fast-tracking crypto regulations amid a rise in popular crypto adoption and attempts to secure a new IMF loan.
