With the new dollar rate in Argentina now Colombia is cheaper in most areas and tax-friendlier. For example I'm travelling to Europe in a couple of months and the tickets are half price compared to Argentina. Food is now cheaper or about the same, clothing and technology much cheaper. None of...

Bogotá, I like the weather (not a fan of hot summers) groceries shops are much better (Carulla, Exito, etc) and I like the fact that it's near everything and is cheaper to fly compared to Argentina. I don't like the traffic, the city is not a walkable at all so I miss BA's walkability and...

This looks like a left-wing pro-woke movement. I wouldn't be surprised if it's organized by some bigger entity.

There are trade-offs between storing in a platform (Coinbase / Binance) or in a cold wallet. The 2 biggest trade-offs of platforms are: Security: if the platform get's hacked you'll loose everything Bureaucracy: if you have a bunch of money you may have to pay taxes, send papers / photos...

It depends on each one's personality, life goals, etc. Personally it was great for a while earning US$ in Argentina but when it comes to make medium / small investments like buying a car or a house it's really troublesome since it's almost impossible to get money from abroad legally. Now I'm in...

I cash directly in a US bank, but I hold crypto in a cold wallet. Trust no one! ;)

There are a lot of software developers, graphic designers, recruiters among other professions that work remotely for US companies. I'm one of those doing it since 2015 and I'm a sort of slow-digital-nomad. I have colleagues that got digital nomad visas from Europe, another one went to live to...

Specially because is not a currency and is not owned by any goverment or banking entity: it's a sovereign store of value so having goverments telling people to declare bitcoin could be considered a violation of human rights. This really pisses governments and banking corporations a lot XD.

Well you used to blame Macri for everything so you an Milei are even? XD

'Monotributo' (may translate as 'Single Taxation') is a simplified tax regime for small businesses, entrepreneurs or self-employed / freelance workers. If you are subscribed to that regime you pay a monthly fee/tax according to the category (annual gross income) you are in. If you are in...

860 bucks monthly for services on category 'K' is 15%... it's a lot for self-employed workers. ;(

There's another coffe shop / bakery on that same sreet that sells amazing scons and croissants. Arroyo is the most parisinne street in BA with historical buildings designed by French architects. https://maps.app.goo.gl/ZoinpWN7rgz3ufA37

Yes, Argentina does not belong to G7 but she invited him personally.

Since some people were asking about good quality coffee in BA here's a curated list. One thing to note is that some of these may prepare a 'real' italian espresso and a real espresso is bitter in general. Also these places usually sell high quality fresh coffee beans...

It's delicious. Dulce de leche is a must, pistacho is very good.

I would recommend something like this: The Asado Experience Looks like they know that they are doing, and the experience of a real asado in someone's house is so much better than eating a single meat cut in a restaurant pay the check and go... is that homey feeling, the smell of the firewood...

Yeah, I went to a very popular bodegon called "Parrilla Pena" a month ago and it was overpriced and the bife de chorizo was really bad. The thing with meat is that it needs to be slowly cooked and these overcrowded bodegones tend to cook things fast.

"Pizza in Argentina, though, although it shared common roots with pizza in Italy (and later in the US), quickly diverged for two main reasons. First, plentiful cheese allowed for richer pizzas. Agustin Banchero, a Genoese who opened a bakery in 1893, reminisced that in Genoa food was so tight...

As I mentioned in the previous comment, better to cook it yourself or make friends with someone who knows how to make a good asado. 'Bodegones' are tricky, (I heard that one called 'El Ferroviario' is good) but that doesn't mean that the quality of meat in Argentina got worse, you can get...
