A direct look at a historic decision: the City of Buenos Aires has begun accepting cryptocurrencies —including Dogecoin— to pay taxes. The post explains how the system works, what it really means (and what it doesn’t), why this move opens a crack in the relationship between citizens and the State, and how it can become a concrete tool for those already navigating crypto. A clear, no-hype analysis with context —and with the ardent perspective of Lo Que Arde.

A blistering roundup of Argentina’s crypto week: from a tokenized Messi and peso-stablecoins racing to exist, to families buying homes with Bitcoin as collateral, Chinese mining stirring again, USDT payments through local QR codes, and a labor reform that quietly mentions crypto salaries. A chaotic, vibrant map of a country moving faster than its own headlines — with reality getting ahead of itself.

A walk through the week’s most unsettling crypto signals: from Argentina’s AL30 turned into a token to massive Bitcoin outflows from Binance, Visa’s fiat→USDC bridge, IBM’s quantum leap, and new global tactics for seizing Bitcoin. Between infrastructure shifts, regulation pressure, AI trading on its own, and markets that behave like living systems, the landscape stops being “news” and becomes a symptom. A map to read what moves while no one’s looking.

Globant and YPF announce their alliance with AI, but the text dismantles the illusion of novelty: from PID controllers to modern algorithms, machines have always been “thinking.” The post blends irony and critique to reveal that the real replacement isn’t driven by technology — but by learned docility. From television to algorithms, manipulation changed format, not method. An ardent reflection on obedience, faith, and independent thought.

An Argentine startup, Mercado Cripto, turned rental cars into blockchain tokens offering a 10% annual yield. Each token represents a share of the income generated by real vehicles on the road. Beyond finance, the project signals a cultural shift — from owning to participating — showing how blockchain is beginning to move through real streets, not just digital ones.

OpenAI announces a historic 25 billion USD investment in Argentina to build Stargate, a massive artificial intelligence data center. Amid excitement, controversy, and political noise, Larisa tells it from her own lens — no flags, no isms, just irony, facts, and fire. A post that marks the beginning of a new era — where AI replaces no one, but exposes everyone.
