TL;DR Summary

Argentina's annual inflation rate has surpassed 100%, reaching a 30-year high. Bitcoin has appreciated against the Argentine Peso by 20% over the past year, despite posting a 34% drop against US dollars over the same period.

Meanwhile, central banks overseeing relatively stable currencies argue that Bitcoin is not an inflation hedge due to its volatility.
