And this. This is total nonsense. Imagine being elected President and coming out of your cocoon with "Israel is my greatest ally. I need to kiss their ass before I go insane".

I always dissed on crypto but recently had a revelation to it's short term usefulness. If every Argentinian plowed their peso's into bitcoin before this kick in the teeth they'd be signing Christmas carols right now.

Argentina peso: Milei begins 'shock therapy' by devaluing currency
13th, Dec 2023
Argentina's new government says it will weaken the value of its currency by more than 50% against the US dollar.
It is part of the "economic shock therapy" that President Javier Milei says the country needs to fix its worst crisis in decades.
Economy Minister Luis Caputo also announced deep cuts to public spending.
They include a reduction in fuel and transport subsidies and freezing spending on some major government contracts and advertising.
Mr Caputo said he had inherited the worst economic legacy in Argentina's history and he was taking steps to avoid hyperinflation.
"We are going to be worse off than before for a few months, particularly in terms of inflation. And I say that because, as the president says, it is better to tell an uncomfortable truth than a comfortable lie," Mr Caputo said in a televised address.
Argentina is battling soaring inflation, with prices rising by around 150% over the last year. It is also struggling with low cash reserves, high government debt, while 40% of the population is living below the poverty line.
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) - to which Argentina owes $44bn (?35bn) - called the measures "bold" and said they will help create the environment for private sector growth.
"I welcome the decisive measures," IMF chief Kristalina Georgieva said, adding that it is "an important step toward restoring stability and rebuilding the country's economic potential."
Mr Caputo said the exchange rate would be cut to 800 pesos to the US dollar, from roughly 391 pesos.
Since 2019, Argentina has kept its currency artificially strong by strictly controlling the movement of the currency.
That helped drive demand for the US dollar on the informal currency market, which saw the peso trading at a much lower rate that the the official level.
Mr Milei, a libertarian who rose from relative obscurity to the top office in a bitterly fought election, was sworn in on Sunday.
He campaigned on promises of major spending cuts and was known for wielding a chainsaw at rallies to depict his intentions to slash government spending.
It is not clear if his coalition, which is only the third largest bloc in the country's Congress will be able to implement enough major spending cuts needed to shore up the economy without pushing it into turmoil.
Mr Milei has already cut nine government ministries, which Mr Caputo said would reduce 34% of public sector jobs.
Speaking about the cuts to government spending for infrastructure projects, Mr Caputo said: "The reality is that there is no money to pay for more public works that, as all Argentines know, often end up in the pockets of politicians or businessmen on duty".

Milei picks ex-JPMorgan trader to dollarize Argentina's economy
Luis Caputo, known for his Wall Street ties, has been named economy minister
Argentina's president-elect, Javier Milei, announced on Wednesday that he has chosen former Wall Street stock trader Luis Caputo to be the country's economy minister.
Milei made the announcement on Radio La Red after a two-day trip to Washington in which he met US Treasury and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) officials.
Caputo, who worked at JPMorgan and Deutsche Bank, ran Argentina's Finance Ministry and then briefly its central bank from 2017 to 2018. He is known for his close ties with Wall Street and Buenos Aires banking sectors.
Last week, Caputo, whose appointment is yet to be officially confirmed, met local and international bank officials to lay out Milei's proposed "shock therapy" for Argentina's beleaguered economy, which includes ditching the peso for the US dollar, erasing the fiscal deficit, and closing the central bank.
Caputo's economics consultancy firm Anker Latinoamerica earlier this year released a report saying that dollarizing Argentina would be "difficult," though "not impossible," and would require "complex legal and financial architecture."
Many economists in the country have repeatedly warned that dollarization is risky and that the government should prioritize other reforms to fix the economy.
"It's crucial to solve problems with a lot of expertise, because if we make a mistake we could end up with hyperinflation," Milei said in the interview, referring to a pile of more than 23.8 trillion pesos ($66.2 billion) of the central bank's short-term liabilities held by local creditors.
The new economy minister, Caputo, will also be tasked with renegotiating Argentina's troubled $43 billion loan from the IMF, on which the country has missed almost all of its targets this year.

Argentina's Milei to meet Biden aide after lunch with Bill Clinton
Argentina's President-elect Javier Milei will meet with a top security aide to U.S. President Joe Biden in Washington, the White House confirmed on Monday, after the far-right libertarian lunched with former U.S. President Bill Clinton in New York.
The meal with the former U.S. leader, a Democrat largely on the opposite side of the ideological fence from Milei, marked an especially surprising part of the incoming Argentine president's first foreign trip after winning a run-off vote earlier this month.
Earlier on Monday, the self-described anarcho-capitalist Milei arrived in New Jersey with a small group of advisors, including former central banker Luis Caputo, the frontrunner to be his economy minister, and his campaign manager sister Karina Milei, his office said in a statement.
Upon arriving in the United States, Milei first visited the tomb of a well-known orthodox Jewish rabbi before having lunch with Clinton, according to a statement from the president-elect's office.
On Tuesday, Milei will meet with U.S. National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, while his economic advisers are scheduled to meet with senior U.S. finance officials to discuss the president-elect's economic priorities.
Meetings will also take place with officials from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Milei's office previously announced, aimed at explaining Milei's economic plans, which on the campaign trail included dollarizing Argentina and shuttering its central bank.
Argentina is the IMF's largest debtor nation as it struggles to tame inflation approaching 150%.
Milei will take office on Dec. 10 at a time when over two-fifths of Argentina's population is in poverty and a recession looms for South America's second-largest economy.
Earlier on Monday, Reuters reported that a previously announced visit to Buenos Aires from former U.S. President Donald Trump - seen by many as much closer to Milei ideologically - is unlikely to happen, according to a source close to Trump's 2024 presidential campaign.

Milei Begins Whirlwind U.S. Tour with Jewish Holy Site Visit in NYC
Argentine President-elect Javier Milei announced on Sunday night he would be flying to the United States overnight and making stops in New York and Washington, DC, on Monday.
Milei landed in New Jersey on Monday morning, the Argentine newspaper Clar?n reported, and began his travel to New York City.
Milei, a libertarian economist who first held elected office in 2021, won a decisive victory in the November 19 presidential election against current Economy Minister Sergio Massa, an establishment socialist whose tenure has corresponded to historically high levels of inflation, unemployment, and poverty. As a presidential candidate, Milei repeatedly stated that he would seek to realign Argentina's foreign policy - inclined towards growing ties with rogue states such as China and Iran during the 12 of the past 16 years it has been led by socialist presidents - toward making America and Israel the country's top allies.
Milei posted a photo on social media before departing alongside Luis Caputo, the man he has chosen for minister of economics, and Nicol?s Posse, who is expected to take on the chief of staff role.
