    Taxes Earning dollars, spending pesos

    I have no first hand experience but if I were you I would WU to myself pesos and just change that to us cash at any cuevas. Most argentinians save in pesos and then go and buy us cash bills. You would pay a bit higher % due to the double conversion but it's the most hassle free way. That's how...

    ^He is going to charge you to set you up with his "personal banker". If you can learn to use crypto, you can buy usdt with card on binance. Paypal is usually not great for personal transactions.

I'm from another latin american country and for actually sending money there are not a lot of physical locations, someone has to go and send me the money and it's not practical. My plan is to bring $2k in cash, first month airbnb with my...
