Thanks for that link. Interesting.

I found this tidbit:

"holders of US dollars convert them to Bitcoins, which can then be bought and exchanged online for pesos at the blue rate. This remains something of a gamble, however, as it’s unclear whether Argentine pesos or Bitcoins will be the more stable long-term currency."

Funny, but may be it is only me.
