Thanks for the documentary! I have one question that the interviews don't seem to discuss. How is a local Bitcoin exchange similar or different from purchasing gold or US dollars on the underground market as a method of staving off peso's inflation? Is it because USD and gold are banned but Bitcoin purchases are somehow still legal (or grey-area enough so that nobody notices or cares as much)?
I think its because its easier for people to "move" Bitcoins to other countries and from there change back to eg. USD. And yes, USD and gold is hard to come by in Argentina! Bitcoins are also still hard but hopefully we are changing that fast!
