You can check out http://www.restocoins.com/ which lists local business that take Bitcoin. I would also contact the Fundacion Bitcoin Argentina (http://www.bitcoinargentina.org/) which is working to educate the public and government about Bitcoin. I would talk with Diego Gutiérrez Zaldivar...

I am using both Coinbase and LocalBitcoins to exchange currency at dollar blue. In fact I built an Android app called Coinbase Trader for buying BTC from Coinbase. For Coinbase I use Google Authenticator rather than SMS verification. I have a high level of confidence in Blockchain.info as...

It appears that if you fly together and jointly file your declaration form you have a maximum of 10K that can be transported without reporting it. Declaring separately is 10k per adult...

Yeah I get what you mean but its a strange way to make a point about contentious people ruining discussions.

Why come back to this post after a week just to give a lesson on proper diction?

I went to El Galpon today and talked with the lady selling yogurt and milk (almost in the corner on the left). She said the cows are grass fed, no hormones, no antibiotics and are milked twice daily. They are also allowed to nurse their young. The milk is pasteurized with steam at 65 C but...

Here are some of the links I have collected, but my little one is still young so they may not apply to your needs. http://chapololo.com.ar/ http://oiaya.tiendanube.com/ http://www.holzi.com.ar/ http://babypiac.blogspot.com.ar/ http://juegoscononda.wix.com/juegoscononda There are two...

There was a good issue of Living few months back that focused just on kids furniture. They had a lot of stores listed, many with web sites. If you could snag a copy of that you would find a lot of good stuff. I know, long shot but here is a link to the issue...

You don't happen to have a number for El Rincon Organico or email address? The site is filled with errors so nothing other than the first page seems to load. Thanks!

I think the actual time to transfer BTC is about 15 minutes to 1 hour for full verification of the transaction. I don't think the fluctuations you described are of any concern in the time frame it takes to purchase, send, and sell BTC. From the moment you purchase BTC on LocalBitcoins the...

Yeah, I will put together a new post to discuss the use case of Bitcoins for transferring money as I think it will have value to some people. I definitely do not propose Bitcoin as an investment tool but as a money transfer tool it can't be beat. I think it was discussed previously under a...

I think the discussion previously was more about speculation and investing. The use case I would like to present is transferring money in and out of the US. There is also a lot of information pertaining to how this is done locally here in Argentina. I think its worth while to have that...

Yeah I am a local trader on both LocalBitcoins and Bitcoin Argentina Google Group. You can see my handle "thanksmister". I know many of the people in the foundation and meetup groups. I would be glad to answer your questions or explain how it all works. Perhaps email or another thread. Just...

Maybe a few months ago one could be right but Bitcoin is very popular now, especially here. There is a local MeetUp group with over 250 members and a Bitcoin Foundation organized to help educate the Argentine govt and public. Granted its mostly tech peeps but the use case I described is legit...

You guys are going to call me crazy for suggesting this but here is how I would get money in and out. I'd buy Bitcoin locally in pesos or dollars and transfer to Coinbase.com in US then sell for dollars. Coinbase links to your bank account to transfer funds. 15 cents for transfers 1%...

I have friends that moved to Pilar outside the city to be safe. Gated communities with 24 hour security and super family friendly. It's definitely a safe are, but a bit suburban if you ask me, even has malls. Seems like most people tend to live in the city here but unless the area is really...

We came through about 6 months ago with a ton of stuff and a new baby. Don't forget to use the pregnancy line to expedite the process if you have the baby with you. My wife (Argentine) is the best at cutting through the long lines and has no shame using our baby to do so. Again, we had two...

You don't have to fly with LAN to ship, the shipping part of LAN Cargo is separate, unless you are going to put boxes on the plan as extra baggage. The airport has a LAN Cargo shipping office to contact. You need to box up items good (strong corrugated boxes and tightly packed) and be sure...

Argentina needs some type of Angies List (angieslist.com) for rating local business and professionals. I highly value a recommendation over just finding a person through some random web site. 200 pesos is also a steal if the kid is any good! I have an excellent person for installing air...

I have used LAN Airlines to ship, its very affordable compared to other methods. They should have a shipping office at the airport. For your small amount you could just pay the extra baggage fee at the airport, assuming you are also flying to Europe.
