Most Argentinians are poor from what I've seen the few time times I've been there. If you don't have any money to begin with, how you gonna buy bitcoin? If Bitcoin had come along say ten, twelve years ago then yeah, maybe. Now not so much.

surely you can buy a couple of magic cards and buy a stamp and an envelope to send them to some other country? It will just get you a small amount of bitcoin, but everything is better then seeing what small amount of money you have at the bank become worth even less every month.

I heard the inflation rate is about 10% per month, so let's say you have $100 worth of pesos at your bank, the next month you'll have $90, in two months you have $81,  in 3 months you have $72.90, in 6 months you have $53.14 and in a year you'll have about $28.24

It's much smarter to invest that $100 in bitcoin, and in a year you'll more likely have $1000 (and even if the bitcoin price does not increase, you'll still gain money, simply by not losing money)

I made this thread for exactly this problem: how can we as a community actually get btc into Argentina?
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/wts-bitcoins-to-argentina-427605

Seriously, this is the situation that Bitcoin was created for, so if you have any ideas, let them fly!

How can i help you ?

It's pretty simple: can you think of anything that Argentinians might have that you know that
1. Has a pretty solid trade value, either on eBay or somewhere else
2. Isn't gold, silver or anything else that is obviously going to be confiscated at the border?

In all likelihood, the things we think of will be oddities that we only really know about because of our personal interests: that's why I know about Magic Cards for example.  These are the things that will be easier to get through customs, and because of their trade value they actually have a worth for someone to pay BTC for, even if they don't know the ins and outs of the item itself.





We can ship stuff, but we can not receive anything. -

that's not a problem, bitcoin can be send anonymously, as long as you can send stuff of value (even if it's just something simple as MtG cards (or unopened packs) or something) and leave a bitcoin address, you can easily get bitcoin into Argentina. You can then use these bitcoins in your country instead of the worthless paper known as pesos, and you'll never have to worry about inflation again.

I have my tricks Smiley but most people here in Argentina has no idea about anything.  

why won't you help your countrymen

They can not be helped anymore.-

i know what you mean by this, i've seen it too many times.

The majority might be like this but you can still help the minority; however small.

"Give a man a fish and he will eat for a night, teach a man to fish and he will eat for a lifetime."

If you teach one person about Bitcoin that wasn't aware before, you've made a major impact on the direction of their life.


Build a man a fire and he'll be warm for a day.  Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.


:-)

Seriously, services from people in Argentina or things that can be sold to others - Wine for one thing - are great things to sell for bitcoin.

Absolutely, I'm only suggesting that he lead ten horses to water in hopes that one will drink.

That's the beauty of Bitcoin.  You can ship me Magic Cards, and I can pay you in Bitcoin over the internet for them, and there is no way for the government to prevent me from paying you.

it would actually be benificial for him to help and share his knowledge, what good is bitcoin when you're pretty much the only one in the country who has them?

I agree with this, but there's a point where everybody has to help themselves. Once the idea is spread that's all you can do.
 
If people aren't willing to help themselves then it's up to natural selection to kill them off... Nobody else will come to save you.

There's plenty of ways out of a country; I bet drug dealers do it all the time.

If I were there, I'd probably be mining Dogecoin. And maybe exchanging it for BTC. Or not...
Could be, did you try Nutcoin ?  www.nutcoin.com

Argentenians are v submissive to their government which is why they continue to allow what is happening to them right now. Secondly Argentenian purchasing power is weak.
