    Western Union money transfer

    Let's see if my 4th transfer goes through. If it does then maybe they just have a backlog?

    Western Union money transfer

    You mean no declaration form? You need to register with the exchange in Argentina once. They ask you the similar questions to the WU declaration.

    Western Union money transfer

    The Bitcoin way is faster. From sending the Bitcoin to receiving the pesos on your account it takes half a day or a day tops. But it is more work. You need to purchase the crypto currency first. Then send it. Wait for the confirmations. The sell the at the Argentinian exchange and finally...

    Western Union money transfer

    You need a DNI that is for sure. I always had to send scans of my DNI to open the local account.

    Western Union money transfer

    I just called WU and asked them about the status. I have made a 4th transfer after the third one was sent back (a couple of days ago). On the phone they said that this 4th transfer will go through and be deposited approximately in the next 48 hours. I keep my fingers crossed. They could not tell...

    Western Union money transfer

    So far it has been sometimes slightly above and sometimes a little below the blue. Bitcoin is volatile and sometimes goes up until all confirmations of the transaction are complete, but sometimes also goes down. I have not used it for over a month, though. Now, with the blue through the roof it...

    Western Union money transfer

    You buy your Bitcoin (or other crypto currency) in the US (e.g. at Coinbase Pro, Gemini) and then send it to one of the exchanges here (e.g. Ripio, Satoshi Tango, ArgenBTC). There you sell the crypto currency for pesos and let them deposit the money into your Argentinian bank account. For your...

    haircuts

    No, that is not correct. You can only walk (and not run or ride a bicycle) up to an hour a day and only on certain days of the week (based on the last digit of your DNI). Also you can only walk in a 500 m radius around your house (address from the DNI)...

    haircuts

    In Mendoza hair salons opened last week. It sounds crazy and it is. You are not allowed to go jogging but you can go to a hair salon. Brave new world.

    Western Union money transfer

    That's great. They don't process the declaration and just sent the money back. I guess I will have to go back to the Bitcoin way of sending me money.

    Western Union money transfer

    Same here! WTF? The third one got sent back. No info on why it happened. Had filled out their form with the declaration like 12 times. Can't they do anything right here in Argentina?

    Coup to Bolsonaro, militars took control in Brazil

    Oh, I did not mean that the world does not care about Bolsonaros cababilities (or the total lack thereof). Quite the opposite. But not about the elbow bump.

    Paying bills?

    You should be able register an account on their website and see the bills online and/or receive them via email. Also, pagofácil and rapipago can usually look up the latest amount with your contract number (from an older invoice).

    The process starts and ends with the judges office. Go directly to your "Juzgado Federal" to apply. I went through the process.

    USA TV Channels in english

    I have used ustvgo.tv a few times and it seems to work fine - unless there is very high demand (e.g. during the Superbowl). For the Superbowl I had used YouTube TV via a VPN (the free 2 week trial). They provide lots of channels in decent quality (HD 60Hz) but gets expensive after the free trial.

    Question about Monotributo

    I disagree. Providing a proof of income via the Monotributo has been very useful for a variety of things. For example for getting a local credit card and then buying stuff with 6, 12, or 18 monthly payments and no interest is a very good deal (considering the high inflation). Or for renewing the...
