The controversy surrounding the dissemination of the crypto token $Libra by President Javier Milei reveals a high-risk financial operation, characterized by the absence of clear business models and a lack of verifiable track record. Experts point out that although the president acted as a key facilitator by generating initial visibility, the project’s structure presented obvious red flags from the outset. These included excessive transparency regarding basic details, such as the use of personal email addresses, which contradicts the security practices expected in legitimate investments. It is argued that investors, especially those with market knowledge, should have immediately recognized the inherent red flags associated with this type of asset. The open nature of the smart contract allowed access to all available information prior to investment, making it difficult to classify those who lost capital as innocent victims. The criticism centers on the president’s negligence in promoting a project without the necessary backing, ignoring the fact that a lack of legitimacy and transparency is a universal indicator of potential fraud in the cryptoasset ecosystem. This case is relevant to the principles of *open data*, as it highlights the critical importance of real versus formal transparency. Although the code was accessible, the information was neither meaningful nor secure for the general public, demonstrating that the technical availability of data does not guarantee its usefulness or protection. The incident underscores the need for public institutions to promote clear standards for validation and financial education, ensuring that the openness of information does not become a mechanism that exposes citizens to systemic risks arising from opaque and unregulated operations.
