Crypt coin shared by Argentina's President Javier Milei skyrocketed Friday, then collapsed

Maybe this was needed... the Blue Dollar rate has increased by about 1.25%.

yep and the BCRA spent a lot today to contain the rate https://www.lanacion.com.ar/economi...s-esfuerzos-para-controlar-a-los-nid17022025/

Haha, I wonder what the age cut off is for people who know who Gomer Pyle is.

probably younger than the average poster here on political topics...

Oh, this just keeps getting better.

Now it seems that Mauricio Macri is "distancing himself" from Milei, with a very carefully worded statement. -
The usual Google Translate deal applies, the story will initially appear in Castellano, but wait a few seconds and it will change to English.

...

He stressed that “the investigation must be undertaken quickly” and clarified that his position is “that this be resolved first” in the local courts before “the FBI comes to tell us what happened .”

...

What the former president avoided was to express himself on the position of the PRO regarding the requests for impeachment against Milei presented in Congress. Yesterday, several leaders ratified their rejection of this process requested by the opposition. But they did so before the statements that Milei made in the interview where he got bogged down.

This is a bit funny. If Milei is judged in a CABA court, he will receive the very best justice Macri can buy. This is a get out of jail card for the ex-president.

In text messages reviewed by CoinDesk, Hayden Davis, CEO of Kelsier Ventures, claimed he could "control" Milei because of payments he had been making to Karina Milei, a powerful figure in Milei's government, not to mention the president's sister.

It was unclear if any money was exchanged between Davis and Milei's inner circle in advance of Libra's launch.

I'm sure this will raise a few eyebrows from a certain IMF team that was recently promised "fresh" funds wouldn't be spend on such interventions...

And yet they seem to get away with it, over and over and over.
