<p>In his latest post on X on Wednesday, June 19, Argentinian President&nbsp;Javier Milei expressed his support for an open competitive market for currencies, including Bitcoin. Despite being known for his pro-crypto stand, this is one of the first instances where Milei has specifically mentioned about the use of Bitcoin.</p>

<p>The recent Bitcoin mention from Argentinian President Javier Milei comes in response to former VanEck executive Gabor Gurbacs who said “Bitcoin a todos” meaning “Bitcoin for everyone”. Responding in Spanish, Milei said:</p> 
<p>“There will be free competition of currencies so if you want to use Bitcoin there will be no problems… and you can also use other units such as WTI, BTU and the one that is most appropriate for your business… In accounting terms, it is solved by the functional currency method”.</p>

<p>The Bitcoin community has cheered this comment from Milei with Gurbacs appreciating the support for Bitcoin extended by Javier Milei and El Salvador President Nayib Bukele. He said: “The world has much to learn from the modern economic blueprint in Central and South America, with Argentina and El Salvador leading”.</p> 
<p>Ever since Javier Milei became the <a href="https://coingape.com/btc-price-jumps-as-argentina-elects-pro-bitcoin-javier-milei-president/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">President of Argentina last November</a>, he has been taking measures to improve the country’s derailed economy. Several analysts have been suggesting Milei to adopt Bitcoin as part of the country’s Treasury. However, unlike El Salvador, Milei hasn’t taken any official stand in this regard so far. However, the Argentinian agencies are collaborating with El Salvador counterparts to craft their own <a href="https://coingape.com/argentina-taps-el-salvador-bitcoin-strategy-amid-growing-crypto-adoption/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bitcoin adoption strategy</a>.</p> 
<p>Moreover, top crypto market players are closely observing Milei’s policy-making and pro-crypto stand with <a href="https://coingape.com/cardano-news-charles-hoskinson-draws-interest-from-argentina-president-amid-crypto-talks/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson</a> recently showing interest in expanding in Argentina.</p> 
<h3 id="argentina-s-crypto-adoption">Argentina’s Crypto Adoption</h3> 
<p>As a solution to the country’s economic woes, Argentinian President Javier Milei has been pushing the adoption of digital currencies. Previously, he has also praised Bitcoin’s scarcity-driven growth model stating that the asset class provides greater monetary power to people.</p> 
<p>Amid strong economic measures in place, Milei has also been able to grab the attention of top industry players. Recently, Musk also endorsed investing in Argentina amid the country’s positive economic development. It will be interesting to see whether Bitcoin takes center stage in the country’s core economic policies.</p>
