Argentina and El Salvador, both facing economic struggles, are taking vastly different approaches to cryptocurrency. While El Salvador became the first country to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender in 2021, Argentina’s new president, Javier Milei, is taking a more measured route, prioritizing regulation and differentiation between the crypto and the broader cryptocurrency landscape.

Milei, a Bitcoin enthusiast, has implemented aggressive economic policies to combat Argentina’s collapsing peso. His stance on cryptocurrency has drawn both praise and criticism. Proponents see him as a champion for digital assets, while some, like Max Keiser, advisor to El Salvador’s president Nayib Bukele, believe he’s making a “rookie mistake” by lumping the leading crypto asset with other cryptocurrencies.
