    Economy The Blue Dollar Guru Declared the Death of the Dollar - What to Invest in Now?

    Following the government's announcements that are pushing the blue dollar down sharply, Di Stefano (the Blue Dollar Guru) once again prefers buying sovereign bonds over dollars, especially considering that Caputo said he will ensure the payment of interest due in 2025. Could he be right? How...

    Visas How complicated is it to obtain residency in Argentina?

    Oh, I didn't realize that some of the processes have changed so much! It's been a while since I went through it, and it didn’t seem that complicated back then. Now I understand a bit more about this guy's frustration. It sounds like things can be pretty tough for newcomers these days! 😕

    Visas How complicated is it to obtain residency in Argentina?

    Getting residency in Argentina isn't usually that complicated for foreigners. It depends on the type of visa you apply for, but generally, you just need to gather some documents, like proof of income and background checks. It might take a bit to process, but it's not too difficult. I think this...

    Politics Milei Strongly Supports Sports Corporations (SAD): "No More Impoverishing Socialism in Football"

    I totally agree with Milei's point. It's pretty hypocritical for the AFA to reject Sports Corporations (SADs) but still rely on players from those same corporations for the national team. Clearly, the results matter, and SADs are producing the best talent. The AFA's stance seems more ideological...

    Newcomer The Worst Winter in History

    Brazil's Lula wants apology from Argentina's Milei

    Luis Lacalle Pou commented on the Mercosur summit: "If it's so important, all the presidents should be here." He criticized the absence of Milei.

    Rapid collapse of birth rates in Argentina and South America

    Lately, Argentina's birth rate has been dropping. That means we're gonna have a good spell for the economy soon. More folks will be of working age and fewer will depend on others, like kids and retirees. It could boost the economy without much effort for a while. But it won't last forever. In a...

    Banking What is going on with the Blue dollar? Why is it going down?

    Well... according to Caputo's plan, the idea is to bring the dollar to $1061 by the end of 2024. We'll see if he succeeds, because I really don't know if this abrupt jump in the exchange rate these days was expected...

    Politics What will happen to Mayor Fernando Espinoza, who has been accused and prosecuted for sexual abuse?

    Despite the sexual abuse allegations against him, the mayor of La Matanza, Fernando Espinoza, received strong support from Buenos Aires Peronism to continue as president of the Argentine Federation of Municipalities. It is incredible and outrageous that this man continues to receive support from...

    Economy Did you know that Paraguay and Uruguay only accept dollar bills with the blue stripe?

    I read that they only accept these bills because they are part of a newer series with enhanced security features to prevent counterfeiting. However, they should communicate this policy more clearly, as I know people who have been caught off guard by this when trying to pay for products.

    Brazil's Lula wants apology from Argentina's Milei

    Tell Lula to sit tight LOL... Milei said, "Since when do you have to apologize for telling the truth?" Lula should keep quiet; a president who was imprisoned for corruption has nothing more to say.
