阿根廷：比特币与萨尔瓦多是相同的解决方案

萨尔瓦多是世界上第一个宣布比特币为法定货币的国家，阿根廷新总统也在竞选期间

El Salvador was the first country in the world to declare Bitcoin legal tender, and the new President of Argentina during the election campaign promised that he would consider the possibility of following their example.

萨尔瓦多是世界上第一个宣布比特币为法定货币的国家，阿根廷新总统在竞选期间承诺，他将考虑效仿他们的做法。

Since his election several months ago, Milei has not yet done anything regarding Bitcoin.

自几个月前当选以来，米雷尚未对比特币采取任何行动。

Things, however, might be on the verge of changing.

然而，事情可能即将发生变化。

Peso: The problem of the local currency

比索：当地货币的问题

El Salvador has not had its own local currency since 2001. Since then, it has always used the US dollar as its legal tender fiat currency, so it was not particularly difficult to decide at some point to also add Bitcoin among the country’s legal tender currencies.

萨尔瓦多自2001年以来就没有自己的本国货币。从那时起，它一直使用美元作为其法定货币，因此在某个时候决定将比特币也添加到该国的法定货币中并不是特别困难。

For Argentina, however, the discourse is a bit more complex.

然而，对于阿根廷来说，情况有点复杂。

In fact, the country still has only one legal tender currency, its Peso argentino (ARS).

事实上，该国仍然只有一种法定货币，即阿根廷比索（ARS）。

Tuttavia si tratta di una valuta che, sebbene circoli ancora effettivamente in Argentina, ha perso e sta perdendo molto del suo potere di acquisto.

然而，这种货币虽然仍然在阿根廷有效流通，但已经失去并正在失去大部分购买力。

The problem is that inflation in Argentina has risen to almost 300%, while a year ago it was at 114%, and at the end of 2020 it was at 36%.

问题是，阿根廷的通货膨胀率已升至近300%，而一年前为114%，2020年底为36%。

However, to return to values commonly considered more acceptable, we need to go back to the end of 2015, when it was already above 14%. To return to 5%, we need to go back to 2009, and to return to 3%, we need to go back to 2003, which is 21 years ago.

然而，为了回到通常被认为更容易接受的数值，我们需要回到 2015 年底，当时该数值已经高于 14%。要回到5%，我们需要回到2009年，要回到3%，我们需要回到2003年，也就是21年前。

With such a rate of internal devaluation, the loss of purchasing power of the Argentine peso is an increasingly serious problem, especially for those with fixed incomes.

在如此高的内部贬值速度下，阿根廷比索购买力的丧失是一个日益严重的问题，特别是对于那些拥有固定收入的人来说。

To try to contain the problem, many Argentinians now simply use US dollars instead of pesos, but total replacement is still far from happening.

为了试图控制这个问题，许多阿根廷人现在只是使用美元而不是比索，但距离完全替代还很远。

The solution of Milei

米雷的解决方案

The solution proposed by the new president Javier Milei is simple: do as in El Salvador and stop using the local currency, fully embracing the dollarization of the country.

新总统哈维尔·米莱提出的解决方案很简单：效仿萨尔瓦多，停止使用当地货币，全面拥抱国家美元化。

In El Salvador in effetti ha funzionato, perchè utilizzare una valuta stabile, anche se estera, è molto meglio che utilizzare una valuta locale che continua a perdere gran parte del suo potere di acquisto.

在萨尔瓦多，它确实奏效了，因为使用稳定的货币，即使是外国货币，也比使用继续失去大部分购买力的当地货币要好得多。

Tuttavia sebbene Milei avesse promesso in campagna elettorale la chiusura della banca centrale argentina (Banco Central de la República Argentina, BCRA), e la dollarizzazione del Paese, non è ancora riuscito ad intraprendere questo percorso, perché in Parlamento non ha una maggioranza assoluta che lo appoggi.

然而，尽管米莱在竞选中承诺关闭阿根廷中央银行（BCRA）并实现国家美元化，但他尚未成功走上这条道路，因为在议会中他并没有这样做。拥有绝对多数支持他。

However, the Argentine Parliament might soon realize that for Argentinians, using a foreign but stable fiat currency could still be much better than having to use a national currency that continues to lose value. Therefore, sooner or later, Milei might manage to get the Parliament’s green light to close the BCRA and stop the use of the Argentine peso.

然而，阿根廷议会可能很快就会意识到，对于阿根廷人来说，使用稳定的外国法定货币仍然比使用持续贬值的本国货币要好得多。因此，米莱迟早可能会获得议会的批准，关闭 BCRA 并停止使用阿根廷比索。

At that point, dollarization would be inevitable, as it was in the early 2000s in El Salvador.

到那时，美元化将是不可避免的，就像2000年代初萨尔瓦多的情况一样。

Argentina: Bitcoin as the same solution as El Salvador

阿根廷：比特币是与萨尔瓦多相同的解决方案

Once dollarization has occurred, Argentina might decide to follow El Salvador in the initiative of adding Bitcoin to the legal tender currencies in the country, thus having dollar and BTC instead of the Peso.

一旦美元化发生，阿根廷可能会决定效仿萨尔瓦多，将比特币添加到该国的法定货币中，从而拥有美元和比特币，而不是比索。

In this regard, the Argentine regulatory authorities recently spoke with their counterparts in El Salvador about the adoption of Bitcoin, as confirmed directly by the National Securities Commission of Argentina (CNV) and the government of the country with an official press release.

在这方面，阿根廷监管机构最近与萨尔瓦多监管机构就比特币的采用进行了交谈，阿根廷国家证券委员会（CNV）和该国政府在官方新闻稿中直接证实了这一点。

In the press release it is stated that the president and the vice president of the CNV, Roberto E. Silva and Patricia Boedo, met with the president of the National Commission for Digital Assets (CNAD) of El Salvador, Juan Carlos Reyes.

新闻稿称，CNV 主席和副主席 Roberto E. Silva 和 Patricia Boedo 会见了萨尔瓦多国家数字资产委员会 (CNAD) 主席 Juan Carlos Reyes。

The comunicato also adds in an explicit and unequivocal way:

该通讯还以明确且毫不含糊的方式补充道：

“they turned to the experience of the Central American country of being the first in the world to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender”.

“他们借鉴了中美洲国家作为世界上第一个采用比特币作为法定货币的经验”。

So not only was the theme of the meeting precisely to explore the possibility that Argentina could also declare Bitcoin legal tender, but it seems that the input for this initiative was governmental, that is, it came directly from Milei himself. After all, the new president has never hidden his favorable judgment of Bitcoin.

因此，这次会议的主题不仅是探讨阿根廷也可以宣布比特币为法定货币的可能性，而且这一举措的投入似乎是政府的，也就是说，它直接来自 Milei 本人。毕竟，新总统从来没有隐藏过他对比特币的有利判断。

The presidente della CNV, Roberto Silva, ha dichiarato:

CNV 总裁 Roberto Silva 宣布：

“El Salvador has emerged as one of the leading countries, not only in the use of Bitcoin, but it has also distinguished itself in the world of crypto assets.

“萨尔瓦多已成为领先国家之一，不仅在比特币的使用方面，而且在加密资产领域也脱颖而出。

He created a specific commission, the National Commission for Digital Assets (CNAD), and therefore has very valuable experience for the CNV at this moment.

他创建了一个专门的委员会，即国家数字资产委员会（CNAD），因此目前对 CNV 来说具有非常宝贵的经验。

We want to strengthen ties with the Republic of El Salvador and for this reason, we will explore the possibility of signing collaboration agreements with them.

我们希望加强与萨尔瓦多共和国的关系，因此我们将探讨与他们签署合作协议的可能性。

These statements really make one think that in Argentina they are taking things seriously, even if it is still definitely too early to imagine a real

这些声明确实让人认为阿根廷正在认真对待事情，即使现在想象真正的情况还为时过早。
