At a fintech event organized by Tech Forum, economist Javier Milei met several entrepreneurs from the cryptocurrency world. Two of these entrepreneurs, with experience in the sector, hired Tech Forum as a consultant to provide advice in various areas. Last Friday, the companies Kelsier Ventures and Kip Protocol, whom they advise, launched the cryptocurrency $Libra. Milei highlighted his specialization in economic growth and in reducing inflation in this context.
Tech Forum issued a statement to clarify its role in the $Libra project in order to avoid confusion, and pointed out that they are dedicated to consulting in cryptoassets and organizing technological events. In that sense, they emphasized that they have no relation to the funds obtained by $Libra and distanced themselves from managing them, committing to cooperate with any investigation that takes place regarding this matter.
In an interview with Javier Milei, he denied having profited from $Libra and stated that he only shared the initiative because he found it interesting. Milei defended himself by explaining that he is not an expert in cryptocurrencies and mentioned that fluctuations in the $Libra market are normal and those who invested in the token were assuming the risk. Tech Forum also pointed out its role in consulting for cryptoassets and technological events, without participation in the management of $Libra funds.
Additionally, Milei mentioned that the number of those affected by the drop of the $Libra token is less than reported and explained that he met Hayden Davies, CEO of Kelsier Ventures, through Mauricio Novelli. He highlighted Novelli’s creativity and reiterated that they have a public and transparent approach in their actions. In the statement, Tech Forum reaffirmed its willingness to collaborate with investigations to clarify any doubts about its participation in the project.
