You say it would take a long time and under normal circumstances I agree. But if there were another "reboot the peso" event the possibility of having a real alternative to simply losing your life savings could be very interesting to people. It's amazing how fast people learn when the impact is really large. Not everyone, of course, but many. Bitcoin could easily "go viral" in Argentina the same way cat videos do here in the US.

    Just imagine if the US or another country outlaws the bitcoin. At the end I can bet you $ 5000 that the bitcoin will be marginal in Argentina in the next 5 years. Do you accept?

      Define marginal, and I'll accept the dare.

  Say you earn pesos for 20 years and save your money. One day, they all disappear just because. Which would you prefer?
