My accounts are in Europe. From a European bank account you can make a wire transfer to Binance and Binance will charge you 1 euro per transfer. Once my euros were in my Binance account, I could at any moment exchange them for any cryptocurrency on the exchange or I could transfer back to an...

Onramp should be no problem either. I have only experience with Binance so far, I am not aware of any onramp limits and offramp you should be able to withdraw 50 000 EUR per day (0.80 EUR withdrawal fee per transaction)? The only awkward thing with centralized cryptoexchanges (Binance...

I think the price distortions have more to do with the official vs blue dollar magic than with inflation. I understand there is some system of agro exporters bringing in dollars and then the government giving some importers the right to import goods at the official rate with these dollars...

There is one in Galeria Embassy at the beginning of Florida near plaza San Martin. If you go in, the guy who exchanges money is not there, he is also cautious. There should be someone near the entrance of the galeria saying "cambio cambio". If you follow this person, he should lead you to a...

Let them go to calle Florida and talk to someone who says "cambio cambio dolar euro reales". These people are easy to spot. Do not pay in dollars in a shop, because then the dollars are converted at the official rate and you lose about 50% of your money.

This place only has a single sauna (no steam room) and an outdoor (in the patio) swimming pool: http://www.espacioxivital.com.ar/ It does not require membership though.

You can try https://www.vivino.com/ It reviews a lot of wines from everywhere, including Argentina

Does it make sense that in many cases the effective tax rate is greater than 100% of official income? Also, I was planning on buying two Intuos pro tablets as a gift and ended up buying them in Argentina, because of some mysterious exchange rate dynamics they were 30÷ cheaper in Argentina than...

in some places a euro might be at a premium sometimes, I got 302 pesos per euro and 286 pessos per dollar 2 days ago, which implies an exchange rate of 1.056 while at international markets, the EUR/USD rate was 1.017

If this passes (which was never the aim, it is only a desperate PR-stunt of the Kirchnerists to gain popularity), it would be another reason to work in black: you do not have to contribute to the scheme, but since you have officially no income, you can benefit from it. Kirchnerism surely does...

There are people you can give your USD here and they then transfer USD they have abroad to an account of your choice. The transfer is called a "cable". I do not know such people personally, but I know people that send money outside of Argentina this way. You just need to know trustworthy...

Scalability is one of the big issues with blockchain. Ethereum processes about 30 transactions per second, but the upcoming version of Ethereum is projected to process around 100000 transactions per second, so this will be more than 50 times what Visa does.

The key is having a DNI. If you have a DNI it is straightforward to get money in or out at the blue rate through: send your money to Binance, convert it to a stable coin as USDT, send it to Mercado Pago (or the other way around). There are a lot of videos that explain you how to do it on...

Then how are Edenor and Edesur investing in the electricity grid to make this possible? You can have electric cars, but if charging them causes electrical blackouts, it is not very useful.

I am not saying Macri was great, but at least he made it possible to do business again, which was completely undone when the Peronists took over again with their impuesto PAIS, capital controls etc. Taxes need to be reformed and drastically lowered here and Argentina needs to become much more...

Europe is moving towards electric vehicles and so are China and the US. How will it go in Argentina where the only creative thing the government can do is invent new taxes? For some perspective, in Brussels, (not so) old diesel cars will be banned in 2028. Newly bought diesels and (not so)...

Argentina is also printing more bank notes than other countries.

I read a similar article, but the story happened in Italy, not Spain. Also the 1000 euro fine was because the price of the coffee was not on the menu, not because the coffee was more expensive than elsewhere.

No I have entered with a one way ticket before. My return flight was never checked.

Could someone recommend an accountant that knows about paying bienes personales on assets held abroad? I am having an argument with my girlfriend. I understand that I have to pay a bienes personales tax on my assets (stocks and 2 houses) held abroad if I become a resident in Argentina. My...
