Why Central Banking is a Scam - (a video guest appearance on Kitco News) with Cory Klippsten
TL;DR: New Argentine President Javier Milei has publicly campaigned for killing the country of its central bank. Is it possible?... Cory explores some of the options facing the new President.
Hey Bitcoiners,
Swan CEO Cory Klippsten joined Kitco to share his opinions on the new Argentine President Javier Milei's position that central banking is a scam and the possibility of Argentina dollarizing its economy before incorporating Bitcoin into its economy like El Salvador did.
With Argentina being the world's 26th largest economy and second biggest in South America, its adoption of Bitcoin would be a far more significant development for the ecosystem than El Salvador did. Klippsten also predicts more countries will adopt Bitcoin in the coming years.
Enjoy!
Tick tock next block,
Cory Klippsten
