New Online Purchasing Laws

[scotttswan]

I *know* the word is almost a dirty word here nowadays - so I will use the abbreviation instead This is yet another reason to get into btc - have an e-wallet - purchase from vendors who accept btc

hilarious this will really help with the correo argentina limits :lol:

Bitcoin burglar seems to be a flourishing trade, not be long before someone locally gets involved.

buttcoiners have been religiously pushing their distributed pyramid scheme in argentina for a long time.

I've not been hit so far (touch wood) and even today with btc all over the place (right now about 600 US) I still managed to grab 1000 bucks from my overseas account, purchase btc (about 1.4) from memory and ended up with the local Argentine purchaser depositing just under 10,000 Pesos into my account - so whatever the price at the time as long as you buy and sell at the same level you can't lose - but reading this post I was just thinking to myself - its not just good for a long term investment or for trading or for currency conversions (all done from your keyboard at home lol) its also a good idea for getting around these limitations too...

Hi Germano - well you could have a btc account anywhere - any location - its anonymous unless you want it to be otherwise and really the only thing I would assume that the correo argentina people could do to make life hard would be in terms of physical mail delivery - then again, I'm amazed someone hasn't already set up a business over the river to handle that side of things - taking initial delivery then organizing delivery here to BA... People here tend to be *very* creative in that department...

maybe I am not fully understanding the new laws but is the AFIP requesting the taxes when the package arrives in Argentina (with certain delays)? How does bitcoin help me with that?

Ok my post was held for review - so let me try again. What I don't understand is how btc can help me to around the taxes or limitations for purchasing something abroad. What would be the advantage of btc over using a foreign (Australian, European ...) credit card? Isn't it at the end AFIP holding the physical shipment no matter how I paid for it?
