The Solution To Argentina's Banking Problems Is To Go Cashless

Short of Dollarizing the economy again, the only solution for the country is going cashless. People are desperate, and they're looking for alternatives such as mobile payments, Amazon gift cards and Bitcoin to store their savings away from government control. A digital currency could help curb black market exchanges, fight corruption and restore the country's image.

It's all lies. Argentina has no reason to seek alternatives; they have a fair, equitable socialist government that would never manipulate its fiat currency to raid savings.
We must outlaw these robber baron digital schemes right away. These digital currencies are a threat to The Good and the Great's ability to provide the fair and just governance the people of the world deserve.
Maw! Fire up the karma burner!
