The mobile app has a wider range of 2fa options which are unavailable via browser. From a usability standpoint it doesnt make any sense.


Whilst similar, you need to take into account that there is a diversity in argentine economic activity that never existed in venezuela. If there is some redeeming quality that can be gleaned from argentine history is that it rebounds rather quickly.


Just a scorching hate for our politicians.


...and yet you voted for those politicians?


a majority of people voted for this govt in particular, yes. Thats how democracy works. Its the same system that voted for bolsonaro, trump, etc...


So clearly some people didn't hate them? In fact, maybe the majority?


I mean, if the politician is the one feeding you through food and cash handouts, since there are no private sector jobs, only public ones, and your education is shit, would you vote against them?

Basically, the majority is poor, can't get out of poverty (we are talking 2/3 generations of being poor at least), so they don't bite the hand that feeds them.

Hate has nothing to do with it, just raw pragmatism.


Ah well, in our modern democracies I would say, it is very much possible, that the majority of people hates the elected politicians.

How is that possible?

Well, first of, not everyone has voting rights.

Second, many do not vote because they hate all politicians.

Third, even people who do vote, can hate the person they vote, but they see them as the smaller evil to the OTHER guy they even hate more.

Forth, during the vote the voter believed the promises and was disappointed to have them broken again, after election, which is when the hate returns.

So all in all, plenty of possibilities to have hated leaders voted in.

Having said that - hating is easy.

But transforming a corrupt, but nationalist society is hard.


Possiy not, in a system where voting is non-compulsory! It's compulsory where I live and one of those idiots simply couldn't win as a consequence. Democracy is something you do, not something you have.


This resolves the psychological inertia component of inflation. Its not a solution on its own. It also requires political compromise, reduction of govt expenditure and ,at the very minimum, curtailing expansion of the monetary base.


Why would anything change? There is a dozen apps/bank analogues and fintechs that deal with crypto. They are all subject by and large to argentine banking law.


I don't know the app landscape there but assume it's sparse and probably not as easy to use


Incredibly easy. Binance is even sponsoring the argentine football team

Argentinian here.

Personal credit lines are almost nonexistent or have rates which supercede inflation, (inflation+10% is not out of the ordinary). Credit card yearly interest rate for 2 years ago was >= 70%

There are preeexisting credit lines for property, but they are government subsidied mortgages with very a specific target audience. ie: salaried mid income families looking to buy their first property.
