Post by: Isosceles on June 25, 2012, 08:40:07 AM
Argentina has some severe inflation and currency exchange restrictions, is anyone promoting Bitcoin there? Does anyone here live in Argentina?

I ve got a friend in Argentina. Are they allowed to transfer ARS out of the country, for lets say buy a significant amount of BTC on MtGox?

(You dont have to use any of MtGox supported currencies to fund your Gox account, just any currency their banks accept, which will then be converted to the currency of you MtGox account, like USD.)
