No luck so far...

You don't know what a stable coin is. It's pegged to the USD.

And people think cryptocurrencies have no purpose! Totally solves this. If you don't want the volatility of BTC itself, use a stablecoin. Of course, most sellers don't understand/trust it yet.

This is the seminal work on the issue:

Isn't the easiest solution just to pay for it again and keep the receipt? And when I first read your post, I interpreted it as tomorrow you will receive a bar opening, many girlfriends, a marriage, and a dog (and your DNI). If that is indeed what you're receiving, congrats!

Last time I come in (January 2024) they weren't doing the green light lottery. Everyone went through customs scanners. If you're bringing electronics, don't have them sealed up in the box looking brand new. For tattoo ink, I have no idea. Try to find the customs rules so you have some...

I wasn't able to watch this movie in Argentina, and I'm back in the States now... but it finally showed up on the torrents. However, I'd like to find English subtitles for it (typically a .srt file).. is there a good movie sleuth who can find this? Partially because I don't understand all of...

Yep, I know the addiction. 😉

I propose the BAExpats Price Index (BAPI). The price of a basket of goods commonly purchased by the average BA Expat, converted to US Dollars. What kinds of things should be included in the basket? Here are some ideas to get us started: * 1 bottle Fernet Branca * 2 bottles of Coca Cola *...

I'll be there!

There's an interesting subreddit called Alternate History, which it describes as, "a genre of speculative fiction that deals with history and how it could have gone differently." If you search the subreddit for "argentina" you can read other people's alternate histories too...

It's an interesting article.. I hope others here read it and comment here. I don't know enough about Argentina's history to dispute the accuracy of the article's historical recount. And the "If the British had won, Argentina would have been ..." part is extremely speculative. If Argentina had...

This is a version converted to English by AI, it's pretty amazing, the AI even changed his mouth to match the English words, which are in his voice & accent.

I commented in the other thread (link here), but La Cumbre, Cordoba is a nice small town in the foothills of the Sierras west of the city of Cordoba (the 2nd largest city in Argentina). The winter, however, gets fairly cold, I wouldn't call it mild. If you're really looking for a first-world...

There are probably a bunch of small towns that fit the bill. One that comes to mind is La Cumbre, Cordoba. Bonus is they speak English more than other small towns in Argentina because some of them are actually descendants of the English to settled there to build the railroad or something...

San Francisco... from what I hear, the problem there is the poop on the sidewalk isn't from dogs.

I never thought I'd see this...

I disagree. My own approach (traveling TO Argentina) was to (1) always bring LESS than USD $10k (including other currencies, converted to their USD value), and (2) NEVER declare it, because you followed rule (1) I never wanted to declare it because I don't trust the customs agents in...

It was me, and here's the thread: https://baexpats.org/threads/i-got-my-citizenship-after-6-years.42920/
