More bad news. I just saw this new law about crypto in Argentina. No one is going to do this. https://www.ccn.com/news/crypto/new-argentina-law-declare-crypto-hefty-taxes/

Yeah this ain't happening. Least not in Argentina!

This sort of thing is happening all over the world. Sad and sick.

Yes, advantages and disadvantages of each. Still, I would think if a bigger company like Coinbase got hacked, they would make the client whole. I know people that are finally getting funds back after Mt Gox hack back in 2014. He jokes probably the best thing as he would have spent it. As far...

He sure is building up the frequent flyer miles! https://buenosairesherald.com/politics/milei-makes-fifth-trip-to-the-us-since-taking-office-for-investors-conference

I wish the exchange places were forced to take the older bills. I came down with a few thousands of dollars as I heard cash was king here. Some of the bills weren't the latest bills and exchange houses won't take them without a discount. Crazy to think about banks here not accepting cash. I...

Crazy how quickly things change here. It is funny to see the thread name questioning why the blue dollar is so weak and a few months later people asking why it's so strong. I get there are problems with the economy but why all of a sudden is it getting so crazy? Any explanations?

It really is incredible just how much the exchange rate can move in a relatively quick amount of time. I've only been here a few weeks and can't believe how weak the peso is.

Some of those might be ok but I'd discount the advice by them including Afrika Club on the list. That place is a joke. The employees are rude. The place smells and the night I went I saw a rat walking around! Disgusting. They have some hot girls but some that I talked to were escorts just...

There is a new American style sports bar in Palermo Soho called The Classic Sports Bar. It's the typical type of American sports bar but I'm sure they would have the big soccer matches on Sunday. Good chicken wings and food is decent. Beer is cold. They had some NBA games when I went in...

Thank you so much for the explanation! That is interesting about listing names and delinquent amounts on the bill. I guess it would be uncomfortable being in the elevator if everyone knows you are behind. I doubt you would ever see anything like that in the States with privacy concerns. But I...

I didn't know anything at all about the Falkland Islands. I heard about it but didn't know the story. I just read up on it and like many things it seems like Argentina is living in a parallel universe that is devoid of reality like the article mentions. I found this online...

That is just crazy about these residents in Barcelona. That country is falling apart. Those morons don't realize besides tourism there isn't much else.

Jesus you hear about inflation but I can't imagine my HOA fee jumping up 300% in one year. Brutal! How do you see your neighbors are defaulting? Is this listed on your individual statement? You can see how delinquent all your neighbors are??

Holy sh*t! No wonder all these restaurants in Soho are always packed with locals even if the economy is in the shitter. But is it that easy to open up a bank account in the USA by foreigners? I thought after 9/11 it was very difficult to open up bank accounts in the US by foreigners.

Damn dude that's some flawed logic. Are you ok with locals scamming you then? Are you ok with paying 100% more at meals? Or cafes or restaurants or laundromat? So if you go out to a restaurant and they charge you 100% more with the logic that a bottle of wine in Dallas might cost $100 bucks and...

Damn! I had no idea nearly $100 billion had been declared in those amnesty programs! I thought people would just ignore it but that is shocking how much money was declared! I wonder how many people already declared before? If $100 billion already declared could there really be that much more...

Yeah that time zone thingy is great for remote work office hours. I'm not sure how common Internet going out is but it happened off and on in 2 of my Airbnbs. The worst thing is the Airbnb owner called in and the internet company just said they were working in the area and were upgrading lines...

I have not walked down this particular block but I did walk around the Alto Palermo shopping mall area. I liked it. They even have a big movie theatre where I saw a movie in English. I like how central the area is. Nothing is too far. I wouldn't want to be all the way down in Puerto Madero or...

$5k seems like a decent amount here but just keep in mind that it's not a first-world country. Parts of it seem like it is but other things are frustrating. My internet went out in my Airbnb and the company took a week to fix it! That would just never happen in the US. I heard that in the...
