This post will cover the various options available to buy Bitcoin, as well as other currencies, in Argentina.

We will review different methods of purchasing the cryptocurrency in Argentina. Some are anonymous and some require identification. Here you can find more information about maintaining your privacy when you purchase Bitcoin and Alts.


First get a Bitcoin wallet

As always, before buying any currency, we caution that it is not advisable to keep your crypto in trading broker sites/exchanges which sometimes close, hacked or may freeze or delete the user account for various reasons. Crypto coins should only be stored in a reliable wallet. Here you can read about common Bitcoin wallets and how to protect your holdings.

Bitcoin's popularity in Argentina

Bitcoin is very popular in Argentina and is a real alternative to the local currency, the Argentine peso. The Central Bank of Argentina's 2019 restrictions on buying dollars and buying Bitcoin with credit cards has increased the popularity of crypto even more. Bitcoin's November 2019 rate was almost 40 percent (!) higher than the average price of Bitcoin on stock exchanges around the world. This is a testament to Bitcoin's strength over the local peso that suffers from hyperinflation for years.


Crypto exchanges and P2P sites

Coinmama

It looks like the article you shared forgot about the ATM. Argentine residents can also buy Bitcoin through ATMs, which until June 14 (based on coinatmradar.com data) are in 11 locations in Buenos Aires, or not change since March 2020.

Sometimes this type of publication can bring confusion, since Bitcoin can be bought in many Fiat currencies, that is, it does not matter where in the world you are, it is very possible that you always get someone to sell you bitcoin in any currency and mainly the currency of greater use dollar.

Now, the importance of knowing which exchange working with licenses in your regions, lies in a legal issue of tributes or tax payments, business of purchase and sale, etc.

Argentina has an important advance in this matter acceptance of bitcoin, since it sees all kinds of businesses, ATM`s , Exchange.

This also brings the use of what in trade is called arbitration, it is a complex trade that sometimes times you have not only dollars, and the different exchanges that can produce benefits, passing in this case by the Argentine peso , then the dollar and BTC, being the order of how you do these operations those that leave profits.

Finally, as you can see various exchanges, the important thing is to know which ones have licenses approved by the Argentine government, if that is what you need for a legal process.

Actually when you want to promote your website you should do it in another way, not in the background.
12 publications and in 6 he has placed a link to his website, if he is the owner or not his attitude is directly relates it. In the OP he placed 8 links.

My goal is always to help and when I offer a link it is usually a site that I use and that I have confidence in, as much as possible I try to make it not full of advertising, etc.

A link to visit is a great responsibility, although it seems simple, so I always seek to help over and above the commitments made by third parties.

If you can't buy a copper membership to use the features that will help you promote your website or the alliance you have with it, at least look for the appropriate section here in the forum and promote your website.

Excuse me, now On Topic

Please, I hope the information provided in this thread really helps to understand how to buy Argentine pesos (Fiat), which can be applied to any country in which bitcoin is considered a digital asset and has no restrictions.

Nice catch, I wouldn't even have realized that this was his site. I also agree, the OP must stop advertising his site excessively. There are other ways to promote your site, like in your signature (which you can get after just one merit), instead of just promoting it in this way 

[cryptop770]

at the end of the day I stand behind the content and I believe the content can help. Additionally, when you enter the site, the first line of each article contains a message that the article may contain affiliate links. What's more decent than that.

There is a competitor of LocalBitcoins, Paxful. You can check the Paxful P2P marketplace at https://paxful.com/. On Paxful, people have many payment methods to buy and sell their bitcoins.

Incidentally, Paxful surpassed LocalBitcoins in trades worldwide last week, although it’s strength in LATAM is still weak in comparison to LocalBitcoins:

-> mind the USD scale when comparing the above charts.

Paxful is growing, although its main market is in the USA. LATAM is an area where it could grow (not in Venezuela though: https://www.archyde.com/paxful-eliminates-operations-with-banco-de-venezuela-due-to-sanctions/).

The changes in marketshare among Localbitcoins, Paxful and Bisq are as below.
The growth of Paxful is so fast in the last one year, from May 2019 to May 2020. Its marketshare has increased from about 34% to 48%.
