FX is magic beans? I guess if youre of the mind that “fiat is theft”. But in that case Im not sure why youd care if you can always go back to farming (digital) gold.

Although, to be fair, I can see the perspective that argentine _debt_ is magic beans funded by hopes, wishes, and the IMFs argentine refinancing.

Exactly. FX isn't magic beans. The currency of a country that has defaulted more time than anyone cares to remember is magic beans though.

There is a reason for the old saying "There are 4 types of economies - developed, developing, Argentina and Japan".
