#MileiMemeCoinControversy At 19:01 last Friday, the president of Argentina, Javier Milei, published a message on his personal account on X, in which he promoted the launch of a new cryptocurrency called $LIBRA.

"Liberal Argentina grows!!! This private project will be dedicated to encouraging the growth of the Argentine economy, funding small Argentine companies and startups. The world wants to invest in Argentina. $LIBRA," published the libertarian leader, who has always been an enthusiast of the tokenization of the economy.

Milei's message included a link to the project, called "Viva la libertad project," a clear reference to the slogan of the Argentine president, who ends all his speeches shouting "Viva La Libertad Carajo" or VLLC.

After this endorsement, the market capitalization of the cryptocurrency climbed above US$4 billion, driven by some 40,000 buyers, according to experts.
