Comment on Ecuador Turning to Virtual Currencyparent

Comments

This is EXACTLY what argentina did before the 2001 crash, by pegging ARS to USD @ 1:1. The problem is you lose the ability to set monetary policy because you can't set interest rates nor loan money via a central bank, when you don't own the currency.

The difference here is that the USD is much more stable than BTC.
