Say you buy a bitcoin for $ 1000 one day and the next week is at $ 600. Would you prefer bitcoins or dollars?

You tell me!? The USD is being deflated like crazy & prone to collapse anytime soon [1]. While Bitcoin has seen 1000% annual increases.

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?
