Sorry, initially I said Equador made bitcoin legal tender when I meant to say El Salvador. I then edited that, but noticed some others refering to Ecuador instead of El Salvador. Anyways, the president of Argentina seems to think that bitcoin might help solve inflation issues, though he’s not...

What’s the reasoning behind making crypto like Bitcoin a legal currency? Would something like this work to reduce inflation? I believe El Salvador has made Bitcoin legal tender, if I recall it was to help people who are unbanked, and for cheaper transfer for those living abroad to send money...

Looks like they give you a discount the longer you book. See for example...

Sounds great. Fast foods are typically in more locations so nice to have something like that if there are no issues. Is the cheese and bread vegan too? As you might know I’m vegan and have been vegetarian/vegan since 2005. Many products of all kind are now vegan and they’re very good...

Yes, that seems like good news, because people will take it, the rates will go down, and the country will reopen. Seems to be a matter of availability right now if I understand. Just a matter of time before they get enough vaccines.

That’s interesting. When do you think this might happen? It sounds like it depends on the number of caseloads, and that depends on people taking the vaccine when it become available. What percentage of Argentines do you think will take the vaccine? Is there a strong anti-vaccine culture in...

Yes, there do seem to be lots of cases where people who kept their crypto in the hard wallet have then died or lost their seed phrase, and their crypto. For example, this article: https://thehustle.co/what-happens-to-your-bitcoin-when-you-die/amp/. I read somewhere that if someone passes away...

It looks like Gemini exchange is available in Argentina. https://www.gemini.com/areas-of-availability They seem like a reputable exchange.

Do people in Argentina use crypto alot?

They sell firearms in Argentina? I thought it was illegal or something.

Good to hear you haven’t had to use it. Same here. Never had to use one. It’s a good thing to have though. I keep one in my pocket here in Texas even though I have a license to carry a concealed handgun. But practically speaking I hardly ever carry a handgun because even the very small ones...

I that so? The Google translation of the link you posted says: Is that mistranslated?

Thanks. That seems like a lot of regulation and ways to get into trouble with the law if not done properly. Sounds like the way to do it is to purchase it from a reputable dealer in BA, and then to register the weapon. I imagine a reputable dealer will also have some instructions about how to...

What’s the legality of pepper spray in Argentina and Buenos Aries? Are there different laws in BA than other parts of Argentina? Does it matter the type of pepper spray and the chemicals in it? For example, this one...

Thanks all. It was very useful info. I did a bit of research and indeed there are vegan restaurants and grocery stores in BA. They also seem to have cruelty free products so will check them out. Although I didn’t notice much American brands that I”m used to, I see there lots of unfamiliar...

I have some favorite non perishable treats, such as chocolates, protein bars, specific brand of sleep tea that seems to work for me, etc., that I’m not sure I’ll easily find in BA, at least not at first, and was wondering if it might be a good idea to bring several months supply into the country...

Do we know how much has price gone up in this time in USD?

You think they're going to ban crypto or are they trying to regulate it for tax purposes, etc.?

Is it practical as a business to invest in the human talent that's in Buenos Aries? What would be the tax/currency implications of that? That would be one of the first things that comes to mind if I were thinking about investing in Argentina. Starting an international business, online...

Are there some neighborhoods in between that have some of the best of both worlds? I watched some of this Buenos Aries Walk, I think it's close to Puerto Madero. So far the neighborhood seems clean, has no utility wires, but does seem to have some of that BA original vibe or architecture.
