It is important to note that the computer security and bitcoin scene are very strong in Argentina. See http://www.ekoparty.org/eng/index.php
It definitely makes me respect all non-English coders even more, for happily putting up with the ASCII status quo...especially those from non-Latin languages, such as Matz.
It's just that people are too eager to scream "vulnerability!" without properly checking it before.
In Argentina we have the top development team of BitPay, developing cutting edge stuff like Copay, Bitcore Wallet Service, etc. People like Matias Alejo Garcia, and Manuel Araoz (now a BitPay alumni). Look at: https://github.com/bitpay/bitcore-wallet-service and other projects.
We have Sergio Lerner, one of the top security researchers and the official Bitcoin Core security reviewer. Look at his blog: https://bitslog.wordpress.com/
We have also projects like Xapo.
And many many others like https://streamium.io/
Otherwise, why would you juxtapose the irrelevant mention of bitcoins? It's not hard to pay someone (i.e. this is completely irrelevant) except if the payment is for criminal activity - then it's hard.
This is sad, as bitcoin and other blockchain technology is cool. Your comment is just a data point (I won't list other ones, just keep an eye out for them in the future) that shows that a functional society requires a legal layer baked into the peer to peer currency protocol (at a minimum self-reporting regarding identities involved). Nobody wants to live in a world where people can anonymously purchase election counting source code from an employee of that company, using the online equivalent of a suitcase full of cash, (except probably without anyone knowing and nothing else being involved except network traffic) then the same night turn around and purchase the untraceable services of a security firm located in a totally different city (or who knows where), again using the online equivalent of a suitcase full of cash. I am positive nobody wants that.
That means that there is a huge, huge market opportunity for a non-criminal distributed online currency. I bet half the people I know would prefer to use that over bitcoin. Yes, because they have nothing to hide: but also, because they do not trust that criminals who are able to buy elections have nothing to hide.
I realize that technical solutions are preferable to legal solutions; but there are some things technology can't solve, and "untraceably buying elections from the people tasked with computer counting them, by untraceably bribing employees for source code and then surreptitiously supplying it to blackhat security firms and purchasing an attack vector, without any connection to the former" is one of these.
Bitcoin is absolutely great. It will be better when it comes with a social contract.
This page - https://bitcoin.org/en/download
should have 2 versions "[ ] With social contract", "[ ] Client only", where the one with the social contract lets governments trace your transactions the same as they can with bank transfers. (Not sure of the mechanism.) I don't mind making bank transfers, or the government seeing this, and I don't prefer cash to using my card etc etc etc. An online currency is supremely cool, far more convenient, and I would have no problems downloading the version with the social contract. (I think governments should have the same level of access as they do to bank transfers.)
I consider it a genuine problem that I don't even have this choice.
Also with an annual inflation rate of 25% - 35% you don't want to have your savings in pesos. That's why many people buy dollars on the street if they can't get it in legal ways. Also BitCoin is usable as it can change in any kind of currency without to much red tape.
