Buenos Aires, 21 Nov (EFE).- Gavin Wood, one of the founders of the cryptocurrency Ethereum, criticised the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in an interview with EFE for its attempts to regulate the digital assets market, and praised Javier Milei for seeking “structural change,” but lamented that the Argentine president is involved in the $LIBRA case.

“ARGENTINA APPEARS TO HAVE A FAIRLY SIGNIFICANT STRUCTURAL PROBLEM IN THE ECONOMIC SPHERE. THIS IS REFLECTED IN QUANTIFIABLE ECONOMIC DYSFUNCTION. THEREFORE, IT WILL REQUIRE SUBSTANTIAL STRUCTURAL CHANGE. AND IT TAKES A VERY PARTICULAR KIND OF PERSONALITY TO CARRY OUT SUCH SUBSTANTIAL STRUCTURAL CHANGE. IT IS A PERSONALITY THAT DOES NOT CARE TOO MUCH ABOUT PEOPLE AND CARES A GREAT DEAL ABOUT OUTCOMES. WHAT I MEAN IS THAT, IN REALITY, IT DOES NOT CARE TOO MUCH ABOUT PEOPLE AS INDIVIDUALS. IT IS A KIND OF CONCERN FOR THE COLLECTIVE, A CONCERN FOR THE NATION, FOR THE STATE. THERE ARE MANY EXAMPLES IN HISTORY WHERE CARE FOR THE STATE AMOUNTED TO A KIND OF CONTEMPT FOR CERTAIN SEGMENTS OF SOCIETY DURING A CERTAIN PERIOD OF TIME. THE BOMBING OF COVENTRY COMES TO MIND. CHURCHILL DID NOT EXPLICITLY WARN PEOPLE TO TAKE SHELTER, DESPITE KNOWING THAT THE PLANES WERE GOING TO BOMB IT. SO I BELIEVE IT TAKES A VERY PARTICULAR KIND OF PERSONALITY AND, UNFORTUNATELY, THESE PERSONALITIES DO NOT ALWAYS GET ALONG PARTICULARLY WELL WITH OTHERS.”
