Bitcoin, paired with ARS<\/span>, moved toward a record high after reports of Milei’s victory<\/a> in the presidential election of the proponent of digital gold, Javier Milei.<\/p>\n

With 99.3% of the votes tallied, he led his rival \u2014 Sergio Massa \u2014 by 11.4 percentage points. The latter conceded defeat.<\/p>\n

The incoming president of Argentina (to be inaugurated on December 10) is known for attacks on the central bank. He called it a fraud and ‘a mechanism by which politicians deceive good people with an inflation tax’.<\/p>\n

In Bitcoin, Milei sees ‘the return of money to its original creator \u2014 the private sector.’ At the same time, the politician has not yet stated any intention to formalize digital gold as an official means of payment, as the authorities in El Salvador and the Central African Republic have done.<\/p>\n

However, television host Max Keiser, who also serves as an adviser to El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele on Bitcoin, wrote about a likely visit by a diplomatic crypto team to Argentina.<\/p>\n
