Revolut has completed the transfer of control of Banco Cetelem Argentina🇦🇷
Argentina’s central bank (BCRA) approved the change of control on 24 September 2026. The deal itself closed on 30 October 2026, roughly 16 months after it was first came out in 2025.
The bank is being renamed Revolut Bank Argentina.
A public launch is still expected in the second half of 2027.
Olvidense de la IA
Miren esto, saben lo que valen 32gb de DDR5 hoy?
600usd
La pregunta es si va a bajar, y en tal caso, cuanto y cuando
Las marcas de notebooks estan dejando de meterles soft y apps y optimizandolas para 16gb incluso para 8gb aunque ya 8gb es medio inusable para tareas simples con windows corriendo y un navegador ya estas frito
Esto ya se vio en menor escala, en 2018 se disparo x5 el precio por la demanda de mineros y por el aumento del cloud computing en general, despues se estabilizo en la mitad unos años y ahora de nuevo esta metiendo ese rally de precios el Gb de RAM
Si se preguntan por que el mercado valida 3.7 de forward PER para los del oligopolio de RAM, la respuesta es porque creen que estos margenes no son sostenibles, que el cuello de botella que provoco la euforia de la IA rapidamente se va solucionar cuando empiecen a caer contratos LTA de neoclouds que no pueden pagar la deuda en la que se metieron
Mi vision es que si, se van a caer muchas de esas y sus contratos, claramente el precio de la inferencia se seguira desplomando y eso tracciona para abajo toda la cadena, pero aun asi, con eso pasando, la escasez es tal que estos precios no creo que aflojen en 2 años al menos, y si aflojan no creo que veamos 32gb DDR5 a menos de 400usd, lo cual siendo una caida del 33% es una barbaridad respecto a lo que venia valiendo, y como decia mas alla de la IA esta el cloud computing de siempre y las compus de lajente
El segmento retail o sea tu notebook, siempre fue importante, hoy los fabricantes no le dan ni bola al segmento, de hecho ni lo atienden, por eso vemos notebooks con tan poca RAM, pero es cuestion de tiempo que el segmento retail tenga que incorporar los precios de 32gb porque literalmente no va a andar nada en una notebook de 16gb de RAM en poco tiempo mas
Y esto sin considerar que realmente temas de seguridad, privacidad y otros hacen que en breve empiece a ponerse de moda la inferencia local, ahi necesitas 256gb de RAM para empezar a hablar de correr modelos dignos y hasta 4x eso o mas si queres estar mas a tope

If there is a reason why Argentina is so into crypto it's because of the 2001 corralito (bank freeze / bank run).
Paraguay citizens have been forced to learn more about money and custodianship; crypto needs to be their go-to solution.
@lemonapp_ar & @belo_app u up?
We will all be learning in coming weeks & months, that most human-made software:
▫️ Was really slow
▫️ Had many security vulnerabilities
▫️ Was under-specified and incorrect
AI will rewrite it all. Many times. It will make it fast, cost-efficient, and secure. It will think about failure modes we couldn't wrap our heads around.
It will prove, formally verify, load test, harden. It will turn memory-unsafe foundations into robust, optimized ones. If you ask, it'll thoroughly document it, teach you about it, make diagrams, animations, and slide decks.
In many ways, we are witnessing the true birth of software engineering.
It's narrow-minded and racist to think that China is only copying US tech.
Some facts:
* China has 1.4B people, so 14M people are in the top 1% (split across math, engineering, creativity, motivation, etc.) US has 3.4M people in the top 1%. Do you think China will stop competing, at least internally, if the US gives up? For example, they have countless high-quality robotics companies. The US was smoked on that front years ago, and they keep rapidly advancing anyway.
* In 2015, China initiated a 10-year goal of catching up in key high-tech sectors (robotics, AI, aerospace, green energy, chips). They've succeeded in many of these. Chinese models now serve most of OpenRouter's tokens. They are building nuclear reactors like crazy and selling residential electricity at $.08/kWh, while it's $.18/kWh (>2x more expensive) and rising in the US.
* They have a new 2035 goal of establishing AI as the primary driving force in their economy. They'll keep pushing whether or not we ban AI data centers.
If you're American, get ready to be humbled by China's advances.

Crypto is being massively stolen from users of various crypto wallets through… 18+ websites - victims have already lost $5,570,000 due to a vulnerability in iOS 18.
It’s all because of the DarkSword vulnerability: just open an infected website via Safari and malicious code is already running on your smartphone - passwords, messages, photos, and crypto wallet files (including private keys) are under attack.
Update iOS to the latest version as soon as possible. And never ever store photos of your seed phrase in the gallery or write it in Notes!
Has Ethereum lost its soul?
Day 2 at @EFDevcon Mumbai. 🇮🇳
It pains me to say it, but the mood feels a bit disenchanted. You can see it in the half-empty rooms and in the hallway conversations.
I've been to every Devcon since Cancún 2017. Back then, the narrative was about inclusion and empowering the weak.
For those of us coming from emerging countries, it was a tool to circumvent bad institutions (and maybe build better ones bringing the rule of law where it was lacking.)! Many of us Argentines got into Ethereum because stablecoins were the way around capital controls. It wasn't an ideology. It was a survival tool.
For people from advanced economies, it was a way to escape government and big tech surveillance.
Then the narrative started drifting. DeFi yields, NFTs, memecoins... Each cycle brought more money and less talk about the common person. There are still talks on those original topics, but more and more the stage seems to reflect the worldview of Silicon Valley elites: transhumanism, longevity, life beyond biology.
The contrast couldn't be sharper. Inside, conversations about transcending the human condition, governing societies through futarchy and handing DAO governance decisions over to AI. Outside, the chaos of Mumbai's streets, where millions hustle to survive and deal with very human problems every day.
My impression from day 2 is that Ethereum is at a crossroads: solving the problems of nerds and Silicon Valley, or addressing the every day problems of real people.
The real test isn't whether Ethereum scales, but for what and for whom. If it ends up as a playground for a tiny niche of insiders talking to each other, we can expect emptier conferences every year.
Sorry for the pessimistic take. 🥲 Hoping day 3 finds me in better spirits!
🇺🇸 LATEST: SEC staff clarify that independent token holders participating in decentralized governance generally do not constitute a “central party,” according to updated crypto FAQs.
The guidance provides regulatory clarity for DeFi governance but carries no legal force.
DeFi is unpredictable enough. Your interest rates shouldn't be.
