Argentina is in an inflation crisis right now, where its annual rate already touches 108% in April, causing the Central Bank to raise its base interest rate to 97%. This increase is an attempt to address the country's economic difficulties, as well as the possibility of a return to the hyperinflation experienced 30 years ago. Other countries such as the US have also started to increase their interest rates in an effort to keep prices stable. Argnetina has plans to implement currency rate interventions, allow imports to lower costs, and other measures in a bid to improve its economic condition.

Considering the high inflation rate, individuals may choose to diversify their portfolios or look for alternative stores of value such as Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin is known for its limited supply, decentralized nature, and the potential to hedge against inflation, making it an attractive option for Argentinians. Though Argentinan regulations concerning crypto assets are still in flux, people are steadily warming up to this asset class. Nevertheless, it is recommended to study the country's legal criterions and familiarize oneself with the overall risks of cryptocurrencies before investing.
