    Who are buying houses?

    What I heard from a local real estate agent in the family of my girlfriend is that since Covid-19 the house sale market is basically dead. They rent out a lot of houses, but aren't selling. People who have houses do not want to lower the sale price, so you will still see prices as if Argentina...

    Covid Health Travel Insurance - Will OSDE work?

    Migraciones did not check my health insurance when I entered in January, though if you want to be sure you fulfill all the rules, you can buy a short term health insurance for less than 150 USD. This forum has some posts saying that the rentista visa would not be the best way to obtain citizenship.

    Why would anyone come to this country in this century?

    Often Argentina's problems are only known once you live in Argentina. When people come as a tourist they may only see parts of the country that they like and they only see the problems later. Sometimes they already have an Argentine family by then, which complicates leaving the country.

    Future move to Argentina. Need advice on a few things

    I am definitely not a Macrista, rather I am comparing Argentina to the country where I am from and things are so hopeless here. That is why I told my girlfriend I am happy to visit Argentina as a tourist, but I will not become a resident and be here all of the time, because as a "wealthy...

    Future move to Argentina. Need advice on a few things

    The big question to ask though if you are planning on living in Argentina is how you will be making money. This country is run by kleptocrats who prefer people to be poor and badly educated, because then they are easier to control. If you have anything of wealth you are "an evil capitalist"...

    Future move to Argentina. Need advice on a few things

    I think you will have to choose between the good farm land for crops and cattle or a billingual school, you can't have both, though billingual schools are typically in better neighbourhoods. The school my girlfriend and her sister went to: https://www.northlands.edu.ar/ The school her brother...

    Argentine women are the only thing I really don't like in Argentina.

    I am not suggesting you try to make it work between you and Argentine women, I am merely suggesting that if you were a bit more flexible in your opinions, you might complain less and enjoy more the moment.

    Argentine women are the only thing I really don't like in Argentina.

    People who don't change and adapt and expect the world to come to them the way they see fit, keep banging their head against the wall. You sound as if you have been spoiled as a kid and never grew up. Either adapt and learn to appreciate the way things are or learn to acknowledge that you are...

    Argentine women are the only thing I really don't like in Argentina.

    My experience is that Argentine women are very open minded to hang out with strangers, at least if you are someone from the West. There seems to be some discrimination towards Bolivians, Paraguayans and the like, I do not know your ethnic background, though assuming you are on an English...

    Teachers in Buenos Aires Are Striking Against Neoliberalism

    There has never been a neoliberal government anywhere in Argentina and strikes are not uncommon.

    Buenos Aires seems safer and nicer than Los Angeles, what happened to the United States?

    Not wanting to stir controversy, though the US has lost a lot of it's shine in the last 20 years (for me as a European and I guess many others as well). I am not saying the US is a bad place either. The US is still respected, but more like it is one among all the others while in the past, it...

    Argentina as a Bitcoin farmer

    And all the public private key algorithms basically come down to one of two algorithms: - factoring prime numbers, which is equivalent to calculating square roots under modulo - finding the discrete log under modulo It is sufficient for someone to proof that taking roots and logarithms under...

    Argentina as a Bitcoin farmer

    Bitcoin was created in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis. The designers wanted a currency out of hands of central authorities. For this you need a decentralised algorithm to validate the blockchain. Bitcoin uses a Proof of Work algorithm. This algorithm scales not with the number of...

    Argentina as a Bitcoin farmer

    I do not know about other cryptocurrencies, but the designer(s) of Bitcoin were paranoid that one of their encryption algorithms might be broken, so Bitcoin uses 3 different encryption algorithms on top of each other: a public private key algorithm and 2 cryptographic hashes. Quantum computers...

    Argentines Are Desperate for Dollars

    No it won't. Argentina is too business unfriendly and unstable to lure foreign investment, no matter how cheap the peso is. The lack of investment excaberates the inflation. There is no easy way out of this mess.

    Is Argentina being sabotaged from abroad?

    I think Argentina is sabotaged in the first place by Argentines. I think if Argentina would ever solve that problem, they could change their focus to adressing sabotage from abroad. Before, Argentines have to learn to take a good look at themselves and figure out how they could improve the...

    What should I expect in terms of taxes?

    Try to keep your money away from the Argentine tax system. If it is an option, you could have a company in the US that is paid for your services and this company only pays you a limited wage, while you keep the rest of the money in the US. If you are going to have your full income taxed in...
