Nayib Bukele Clears ‘Team Bitcoin El Salvador’ To Visit Argentina: Max Keiser

Pro-Bitcoin presidential candidate Javier Milei has won the Argentina presidential run-off election, beating his opponent Sergio Massa. Several Bitcoin proponents including MicroStrategy’s Michael Saylor, BitMEX’s Arthur Hayes, and Elon Musk congratulated Milei on the victory. Max Keiser, Bitcoin advisor to El Salvador President Nayib Bukele, said the team is going to Argentina to discuss Bitcoin ambitions with Javier Milei.

Nayib Bukele’s Bitcoin Team To Visit Argentina

Max Keiser on November 20 asked El Salvador President Nayib Bukele for an official visit of the Bitcoin team to Argentina. He added that the team will invite new President Javier Milei to “dine at the Presidential Palace here in El Salvador and talk about Bitcoin”.

In a succeeding post on X, Max Keiser revealed that President Nayib Bukele has cleared Team Bitcoin El Salvador to visit Argentina on a Bitcoin diplomatic mission of peace and economic freedom.

El Salvador already adopted Bitcoin as a legal tender to counter inflation and offers freedom to its people from central banks’ authority. The region of Latin America appears to be the first place where Bitcoin adoption on a national scale will begin.

Argentina’s new President Javier Milei had openly criticized the country’s central bank, denouncing it as a scam and a “mechanism through which politicians deceive the public with inflationary taxes.” He also views Bitcoin as a movement toward “restoring money to its original creator, the private sector”.
