if you're gonna lose the money by just leaving it in the bank, why the heck not?

i wouldn't want to get stuck holding paper pesos right now. As an aside, AFIP lifted the cap on foreign purchases abroad with a local card. I don't fully understand how local cards work, but it looks to me like there's a healthy 38% spread to be made buying USDT from abroad with a local card...

no, a lack of supplies in an amount sufficient to meet demand is what leads to shortages, and those who plan ahead are those who don't get left empty handed when the supplies run out.

wu hasn't updated their rate in days and it's now about 15% under blue, plus the fees. i figured out how to sell bitcoin on telegram and have the amount deposited directly to my peso bank account at blue, but my account has some kind of monthly transaction limit and I don't know if that limit...

It's called sarcasm. When the central bank says not to panic, everything is fine; it's time to panic.

El sistema financiero argentino presenta una sólida situación de solvencia, capitalización, liquidez y previsionamiento. The central bank says everything is ok. Nobody panic.

A currency that 1. Tracks and reports all transactions to AFIP to ensure that everything gets taxed, 2. Does not allow exchange into other currencies like the USD without going through government approved channels, and 3. that the government can create more of to inflate without having to go...

Could you PM me the contact? I'm gonna need some USDT to USD cash soon. That price isn't bad.

Was this to receive USD cash?

State Department Federal Credit Union exists to help American expats. You can open an account with a foreign address and phone number, no VPN. Most of the military credit unions also are fairly understanding of the needs of expats. I use Penfed and Andrews, but there are a few others as well...

State Department Federal Credit Union will allow you to open an account with a non-US address.

Openphone. I've used it for years. You pay 10 bucks a month and can receive 2FAs from your bank in the US. It's VOIP and has nothing to do with any sim card.

you can acid test the silver granule. because the granules are small, it's actually rather harder to counterfeit by plating a thick layer of silver over a base metal. pick a few granules at random and dip them in the test acid.

i want to say 200 block, there's jewelry stores everywhere. some even say that they sell plata granulado...

You can buy it at or under spot in granules on Libertad but the police get testy if they catch you going through the airport with more than a few kilos.

Finally back in Argentina and had time to go fight with the bank. The account works, I received a transfer through Moneygram no problem. The app doesn't work at all, internet banking works but I had to spend a considerable amount of time getting it working, including convincing the bank...

God bless you for finding a way to bring the apostille process for US documents kicking and screaming into the 21st century.

The airline will use any excuse they can to deny you boarding and keep your money. You just need to show a reservation with a reservation code, not a paid ticket. Last time I flew, American Airlines allowed you to "reserve" a reservation and pay within 24 hours. You make the reservation the day...

I bought a laptop last week in Ciudad del Este with my Amex (that way you get their theft coverage and extended guarantee!). A return flight on Aerolineas Argentinas should be about $150. Wasnt aware they wouldn't take my money in Argentina, I just avoid buying electronics if I can't use the Amex.

https://www.monumentvisa.com/ Pay them to do it and save yourself a trip/headache. I've used them to apostille other documents before. I've been dealing with the same issue this week and decided I'll just enroll next term unless they let me enroll provisionally now, as getting the documents...
