Vitalik Buterin strongly supports Argentina’s crypto community. He proposed that Argentina host Devconnect following the LIBRA scandal. President Javier Milei welcomed the idea, saying it was an honor for the country. Buterin’s stance on the LIBRA controversy remains unclear.
Buterin praised Argentina’s crypto growth. He thinks it demonstrates how digital assets can offer true economic freedom. He is still hopeful about the country’s progress in blockchain and crypto, despite the LIBRA issues. Buterin highlighted the need for education in crypto, particularly after issues like LIBRA.
His plan for Devconnect is to unite independent Ethereum developers. President Milei recognized the talent in Argentina’s Ethereum community when he was tagged in a post. He said hosting the event would be a great chance for the country.
Buterin’s thoughts on Milei and LIBRA are unclear, even after the positive exchange. He recently criticized political meme coins, saying they are “vehicles for unlimited political bribery.” His comments focused on several tokens, including the TRUMP coin, and showed concerns from the LIBRA scandal.
Milei did not talk about LIBRA in his response. He concentrated on Buterin’s compliments for Argentine developers. He pointed out that Argentina could have a bigger role in blockchain.
Buterin’s comments highlight Argentina’s potential but don’t show support for Milei or his government. He still strongly criticizes political coins and warns about their risks.
Milei’s support could help organize Devconnect and make Argentina a potential host for this important event. It’s unclear if Buterin and Milei’s interaction means a deeper collaboration or just mutual appreciation for Argentina’s crypto scene.
