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.

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

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.

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

Oops, I mean +6.

IŽll be glad to organize the next big conference locally. Over 100 atendees assured...
Food, fun and Tango included.
I have a tourism bachelor school.

Just hope we donŽt have authorities jumping in ;-)...
