I think you do. Tangential but a while ago I got an offer from Meta London and then used GDPR to request my interview feedback. It had some interesting comments.

How do you deal with tests that interact with something external to the codebase? The result of those could potentially change without a code change.

Which sites do you scrape from?

Looks like it is. This site from the economic ministry says the "Servicios Sociales" (social services), is around 72% of all expenses (with social security as the highest spender) [0] [0] https://www.economia.gob.ar&#x2

That source does not show all the accounts (says in the details popup). If you use the information from the argentine tax collection agency statistics page [0] and divide that result by the GDP you get a wildly different result (e.g. 23% vs

Not really. Tax collection from the Argentine goverment grows higher than the inflation rate year by year. The problem is over spending.

In reality most people don't use "arbolitos" because their rate has a big spread. Instead people who need to exchange regularly go to "cuevas" (caves) which are just hidden and illegal currency exchanges that have m

Except reducing the fiscal deficit, seems like no goverment wants to try spending less than what they have.

With that logic the one doing the wage theft is the goverment for causing the inflation in the first place and not allowing other currencies to be used.

Funnily enough they are called "arbolitos" (small trees). Because they are stationary and have green leaves (dollars)

Please read the comment chain, I don't live in the US nor have the USD dollar as the currency of my country. > The "50%" figure is just completely made up, and you know it - inflation right now is pretty bad, but saying US

The difference is you can't buy USD digitally. You say that but imo having a currency that loses 50% it's value every year is worse than holding Tether. I don't trust Tether either and thats why I am holding DAI.

Yes and it's also much easier to trade tokenized assets between people than bonds or other financial instruments. Also the whole DeFi ecosystem allows you to use your tokenized assets in different ways, giving even more value to it. I

It's illegal to buy dollars but not assets that track the USD dollar. Buying DAI is legal for the same reason buying USD denominated bonds is legal, they are not dollars and you are not taking them from the central bank. And either way

It's illegal to buy dollars. I am buying an asset that is pegged to the USD dollar. That is not illegal neither is buying USD denominated bonds. In fact the goverment even has sold USD denominated bonds.

by maxilevi 5y ago
You are assuming I use BTC or ETH directly as currency but I use stablecoins like DAI which are pegged to the USD dollar. This allows me to hold currencies I wouldn't be able to buy because of capital controls by the government.

by maxilevi 5y ago
Its not. I am using stablecoins to hold currencies I wouldn't be able to hold because of capital controls.

I disagree. I use crypto to protect against high inflation in my country and mantain the value of the fruits of my labour. Where does that fit in your categories? Crypto and DeFi have a lot of applications, especially in third world countri
