Argentina’s President Javier Milei has reiterated his commitment to a regime of free currency competition within the country, explicitly endorsing the use of Bitcoin. Speaking via his account on the social media platform X, Milei assured an inquiring user that the use of Bitcoin, among other units of account, would face no obstacles under his administration, <a href="https://www.crypto-news-flash.com/javier-milei-and-bitcoin-separating-fact-from-fiction-in-argentinas-economic-policy/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">as we have developed in Crypto News Flash.</a>
<blockquote>
 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… – Javier Milei, president of Argentina.
</blockquote>
Milei’s stance on monetary policy is clear and resonates deeply with his libertarian values, emphasizing the freedom to use whatever currency or financial instrument one finds most beneficial for their business. This includes not only cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin but also traditional commodities such as West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil and British Thermal Units (BTU), which are used as energy measurements.
<blockquote>
 “Bitcoin is the natural reaction to the scam of central banks.”
 Javier Milei, president of Argentina.
</blockquote>
The Argentine leader’s approach allows for a variety of monetary units to be employed freely in business transactions, fostering an environment where the most efficient currencies could thrive without government interference, <a href="https://www.crypto-news-flash.com/argentina-amends-omnibus-law-to-accelerate-bitcoin-ripple-xrp-and-crypto-legislation/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">which we covered in a Crypto News Flash report</a>.
This policy aligns with his consistent criticism of central banks, which he accuses of defrauding the public through inflationary policies—a view that positions Bitcoin as a natural countermeasure to such government actions.
Despite not labeling himself a “Bitcoiner,” Milei has frequently expressed support for the digital currency, seeing it as aligned with the libertarian ethos many Bitcoin enthusiasts advocate. His critical view of central banks as fundamentally flawed institutions enriches his pro-crypto rhetoric, adding a political layer to the broader economic debate over digital currencies versus traditional fiat currencies.

 Habrá libre competencia de monedas así es que si querés usar el Bitcoin no habrá problemas… y también podrás usar otras unidades como el WTI, BTU y la que te resulte más acorde en tu negocio… Es más contablemente se resuelve por el método de moneda funcional…

As Argentina grapples with significant economic challenges, including high inflation rates, Milei’s proposed policy could see a variety of currencies competing on equal footing. While the dollar might initially dominate due to its historical role as a stable savings instrument in Argentina, global trends toward de-dollarization suggest that Bitcoin could gain prominence over time.
The concept, known as Thiers’ Law, suggests that “good money” (currencies in which the public has high confidence) will eventually displace “bad money” in an economy. As Bitcoin continues to establish itself as a viable and stable store of value, it could increasingly become the preferred medium of exchange and savings, especially in scenarios where traditional currencies falter.
President Milei’s advocacy for a <a href="https://www.crypto-news-flash.com/president-mileis-bold-step-argentinas-new-bill-offers-5-tax-rate-for-bitcoin-and-ripple-xrp-declarations/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">free currency market in Argentina</a> marks a potential shift towards greater financial autonomy and innovation, setting a precedent that could influence global monetary policy discussions in the era of digital currencies.
