Technology and Women. Amazing.
I will pay dearly, plus 25% for a super cheesy burrito. Must be genuinely from Argentina.

Oops, I mean +6.

From how I understand the article, you get the same 25% above market rate with USD and BTC.
The difference is that with dollars you have to carry cash across the border - not so with bitcoins.

OK, but there is no Xtra 25% on top of USD black market rates. SO the title is wrong then.

yep

I wonder if there are any Argentina tourism sites we could post this to.

if you are an expat or just travelling through I encourage you to explore bitcoin as an alternative to finance your stay. Not only will you get a 25% higher exchange rate but you will also help locals protect their savings from being hollowed by inflation.

I believe the bitcoin adventure is just kicking off in Argentina.
