🇦🇷💸📈 — Javier Milei announces financial surplus in Argentina during the 1st quarter of 2024.

“A few months ago it seemed impossible.” said the Argentinean Leader.

➡️ In a speech on Monday's night April 22, 2024 AD, the Libertarian Argentine president highlighted that this is the first time, since 2008, that the country has recorded a surplus in the first three months of the year, just 4 months after reaching power in the South American country

➡️ This comes as a greater frustration for Pro-BRICS media and left-wing influencers who were betting on the collapse of the Argentine economy after the libertarian came to power in the country.

➡️ Now, Milei has on his hands the task of continuing the ongoing slowdown in Argentine inflation and the deregulation of the country's economic markets, which has been stuck in the same cycle for almost a century.

🇺🇸🤠👍👁👺IRS Set to Kill Pseudonymity in Crypto? Tax Form Proposal Raises Alarms

A draft version of an IRS form spread fear and uncertainty across the crypto industry this week, with sections of the document leading some to believe that American DeFi users may soon be required to report their self-custodial wallet addresses to the federal government.

Come 2025, the document, Form 1099-DA, will become a mandatory filing for any crypto transaction deemed by the IRS to have sourced from a broker. What exactly that means is still unclear. Crypto exchanges will all but certainly be considered brokerages by the IRS; in November, crypto lobbying groups expressed concern that the tax enforcer could also be angling to classify DeFi traders as brokers as well.

That fear now appears to be confirmed. The draft IRS 1099-DA form features a box where filers must clarify what type of broker was involved in the crypto transaction being reported. One box reads “Unhosted Wallet Provider”—meaning a self-custodial crypto address not affiliated with any third party.
