The current president of Argentina has been involved in a controversy related to the promotion of alleged cryptocurrency scams. It all started with a post mentioning the possibility of investing in Argentina through a web link promoting a new cryptocurrency.
At first, it was speculated that the president's account had been hacked, but later, congresswoman Lilia Lemoine confirmed that the post was real. This generated backlash from some sectors, such as economist Carlos Maslatón, who demanded explanations regarding it.
Despite the criticisms, there were those who supported the president's initiative, such as political scientist Agustín Laje, who praised the promotion of the new cryptocurrency. However, the controversy quickly escalated, and the project was questioned for its lack of clarity and support.
It was revealed that the token $LIBRA experienced an exponential rise in its value, reaching a value similar to that of a large Argentine bank, raising concerns about its stability and legitimacy. Experts warned about the risks of investing in such digital assets, highlighting the lack of guarantees and transparency in their functioning.
Given the lack of clear information about the creators and the real purpose of $LIBRA, there is a possibility that it is a price manipulation scheme, which could leave investors with significant losses. Therefore, caution is advised, and the reliability of the project should be verified before investing in it.
Amid the criticisms and doubts surrounding this new cryptocurrency, it is expected that the relevant authorities will issue an official statement to clarify the situation. Meanwhile, the financial community continues to analyze the case and emphasizes the importance of transparency and security in the cryptocurrency market.
