Bitcoin: Buenos Aires short film highlights cryptocurrency’s promise in Argentina

If you read my article on Vancouver restaurants accepting Bitcoin, you might still be wondering why businesses would bother with the digital currency.

After all, while over a dozen eateries in town have joined the Bitcoin economy, the restaurateurs I spoke to said they hadn't gained much in the way of customers and revenue from this.

Watch Bitcoin: Buenos Aires and you'll see that the case for Bitcoin is much stronger in countries like Argentina, where the state currency is experiencing rapid inflation and credit-card companies charge merchants higher fees.

Produced and directed by Valerian Bennett, the short film was shot in July and recently released by TheProtocol.TV.
