    Brazil Travel money exchange and dni?

    Point Of Sale. Are you saying that you automatically accept an arbitrary conversion rate set by a third party bank? What if they charged you three times more dollars than you would pay using the official Visa exchange rate? Would you accept that as well?

    I believe they told me to look for a 'Clinico' in the provider directory.

    General practioner in Buenos Aires

    I don’t think this is true, though it's possible that your insurance works differently. I've had two different insurance providers here, and with both, when I asked for a regular yearly checkup, they told me that I needed to choose a 'medico de cabecera' from their provider's book, who then...

    Is the Milei "Transformation" Failing Already?

    I think everyone who remembers what month it is now will find this graph absolutely ridiculous. The level of detail between May and December is just incredible. Today, inflation is like 300%, but by the end of the year, it will be 155%. They seem to know this for sure.

    Food prices are amongst the highest of the planet

    So, if someone lists 1 kg of rice for 1 million pesos on MercadoLibre, will the price of rice be 1 million pesos per kilo? Coto: 2.2 USD / 1kg of rice (without discount)...

    Anyone know where to find a SAD lamp?

    I don't think these SAD lamps are sold here. Probably the closest thing, light-wise, would be a lamp for indoor plant growing. I'm not sure whether it is appropriate for human use at all. But you can search for something like 'lámpara cultivos' or 'lámpara crecimiento'.

    I think his meeting with Donald Trump tops it in terms of embarrassment.

    The mess called BancoCiudad

    Unless there's a special agreement between Pago Fácil and Banco Ciudad, Pago Fácil likely charges you a dollar or two per withdrawal.

    $100K+ USD for apartment can seller legally insist on cash?

    Apparently, there's a new type of criminals. They do pay taxes, yet they want to REDUCE their tax exposure by using cryptos.

    Mandatory Registry For Bitcoin And Crypto

    You are confusing security and protection. You can do things securely on your own. However, if you make a mistake or get defrauded, - yes - there's no protection for you. On the positive side, nobody can freeze your crypto wallet if you keep your keys. I am not telling you to use...

    Mandatory Registry For Bitcoin And Crypto

    This is not true. Coinbase, for example, is registered and fully licensed to operate in the United States. It is up to you which company you choose to deal with. The security of the main cryptocurrency networks, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, is at least on par with that of traditional banking...
