“When Santiago Siri founded his Net Party two years ago, he turned to fellow members of the small, tight tech scene in the Argentine capital and they all agreed to chip in. But Argentina is a bureaucratic place, and accepting their contributions wasn’t easy. He had forms to fill out for the bank and tax authorities, and nearly two months had passed before he had a bank account. One donation, though, came in quickly enough to get the party started. Argentine tech giant Wences Casares replied instantly to Siri’s email: ‘Absolutely — do you accept Bitcoin?’ An hour later, the Net Party had the equivalent of 25,000 pesos ($4,265) in its account.”
