Title: how to buy bitcoins for argentinian pesos Post by: ronimacarroni on September 17, 2013, 03:21:20 PM So my parents have been wanting to do business with people from Argentina.
But they say they can't move money out the country. So I thought to myself, woot here comes captain bitcoin. But then I realized that most places only accept money for bitcoins do it in either dollars, pounds, euros or rubbles. The only place I could find argentinian pesos for bitcoins is localbitcoins. But that place is too risky to move large amounts of money. halp.

Title: Re: how to buy bitcoins for argentinian pesos Post by: fran2k on September 18, 2013, 06:05:40 AM There are some volume in Argentina.
There is mail list where people place bids/asks[1] and also some facebutt groups. There exchange price is in between bitstamp and mtgox AND the USD/ARS rate is the so called 'Dollar Blue' (we called just as this, in english indeed). Here you have a site with a reference price[2]. You can trade in localbitcoins but there is a big gap. Also there is a new site like localbitcoins but only for local market[3]. Just to complete the information there is a lot of activity in the local bitcoin community due the well known market restrictions. The Argentinian Bitcoin Foundation is being consolidated[4], and we are making a lot of events where trade occurs and we work around bringing bitcoin to the people[5]. Hope that serves! Just ask for anything you need to know.

These are the ways to buy BTC with Arg. pesos: + Virwox (https://www.virwox.com?r=2493f) using your CC or Paypal (you buy in USD and pay Pesos to VISA/MC/etc.) + Local Bitcoins + Act as exchange for a tourist coming to Argentina (he gives you USD/EUR and you give him Pesos to use during his stay; he avoids getting scammed at black market/airport exchange (yes! they scam over here)). + Buy from someone in the forum whom you absolutely trust and willing to sell you through a service like Square or Paypal (so you can use your CC's and pay them in Pesos). For this to happen, he must really trust you given he is accepting a CC trade which can be abused in your favor. Expect above average fees in all of the above. |
