I am afraid not; is that the age when one starts having to pay for one's pizza?

When it comes to money, since it is the will of all other market players that defines our alternatives and the consequences of our choices, can we meaningfully say that we have free will and are responsible for our own actions?

The point is that there have been periods when the purchasing power of 1 BTC dropped by more than 50%.

There is no reason to believe that it cannot drop another 50% or more from its current price, at any time.  There is no reason to believe that it will not stay low forever, if and when it drops.  Bitcoin enthusiasts hope that it won't, but cannot say why it would not.

So how could one honestly advise people to exchange their pesos for bitcoins?

Keeping one's wealth as cash or simple bank accounts (in pesos or any other currency) is not a good idea in any case, inflation or no inflation.  However, to escape infation one should pick an investment that can reasonably be expected to retain most of its real value, like real estate (if it is not in a bubble), or bonds that are automatically corrected for inflation.  Bitcoins simply cannot serve that purpose: logic says that its purchase power is unpredictable, and experience confirms that it can devaluate much faster than the peso.
 

And aren't you right on spot?

Wouldn't that be ironic, the world under tyrannical rule of a small oligarchy of anarchists?

I understand that  the aim of that regulation does not extend to that.  It only forbids banks (not their customers) from buying, selling, or investing in bitcoins.

That is something that the Central Bank of China (PBoC) had forbidden to Chinese banks already in December.  More recently The PBoC has been pressing banks to go one step further: close accounts of exchanges and accounts used for buying or selling bitcoins. But banks seems reluctant to follow through that completely (they would lose $$) and so they still offer some support.  The EU does not include this second phase, apparently.

Concept is not reality.

How much did 1 BTC buy on November 28, how much did it buy on January 18, How much now, how much on May 10?  And how much will it buy next month, next year?

Now compare that with gold, stock, or even the Argentinian peso...

Until there are concrete reasons to believe that it value cannot fall as much again, bitcoin cannot be considered a hedge against inflation; and "selling" it as such is scamming. 

No one, except perhaps 99.99% of mankind?

Uh - right, I had gnocchi (potato dumplings) stuffed with mozzarella, gratinated with funghi and tomato sauce; why the curiosity?

Is "Yes?" your question about "what did you eat for dinner today?"?

I seems that the thread was broken, what can we do now?  Ask two questions in the same post?

Was that question intended for me, or for @bitmarket.io?

I added my location to my profile, but it did not seem to have made a difference either; should I have felt something?

Sorry, is it better now?

Did you mean to ask "where are you posting from?"?

If he had decided to supress the postcard for people with less than 1 USD balance, many of them would complain anyway, or worse. 

But be sure to check the rules with them.  According to some posts here, if they follow standard bankruptcy practice, they will define your claim as all that you deposited, minus all that you withdrew -- rather than using the USD and BTC balances in your account at some arbitrary date.   

But perhaps Mr. Kobayashi himself doesn't know yet how he will compute the claims.  This bankruptcy is probably virgin territory for the courts.

It depends; which timezone does "today" refer to?

How did they figure out that SM bid just 1$ below the winning bid? 

Wait, how could @Candystripes possibly know that it was you?
