The bottom dollar is bullish, Not because of the photo we see today, it’s because the BCRA’s monetary liabilities could reach $66 trillion in one year, and if the reserves don’t grow, I don’t want to imagine the value expectation of alternative dollars. think that the alternative dollars rise more than 200% of the current value seems very logical,” he concluded.
