There is a Bitcoin Argentina NGO who has issued a detailed statement emphasizing that cryptocurrency mining activity is not classified in the country's criminal code, which is why it cannot legally be classified as an illegal activity .
The NGO has clarified that the search and seizure of mining equipment occurred because its owners failed to comply with import regulations and clarifies that mining can be carried out commercially as well as homemade.
This is another reason why the NGO is requesting a regulatory framework for these activities. Perhaps it is a simple excuse or a way to protect the miners, but in any case it is a problem when the government sticks its nose. What do you think?
