I just returned home after 10 days in Buenos Aires. I agree with everything you said, in my experience it's still very convenient to pay with a credit card if you are buying from a supermarket or any other business. Most restaurants, specially the most upscale ones give you at least 10% discount if you pay cash in Pesos. It's still possible to travel on a budget if you stay in an Airbnb and have some cooking skills, avoiding eating out often will save you a lot of money. It all depends on the budget but I totally agree that Argentina is no longer the bargain it once was.
I just landed n Buenas AIres this morning from Lima, where cambistas are all over the place. I had to walt almost two km from my hotel to Florida and then wait until 9 to exchange some dolars to pesos. I got 1000pesos to $100 and 970 to one for the smaller bills. I haven't evel slept yet, and I can tell that Argentina will not be cheap. It is interesting, though.
Great content, as always! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?
I am traveling to Argentina in Jan. So excited for the trip
Thank you for keeping us up on the latest information

I just got to Buenos Aires yesterday. Christmas Day. Had a basic dinner last night with water . Was $30 . More expensive than the US
The convenience is worth the extra cost.

I am still a bit confused ...you said 2% more ,tgen 1.4% difference ? I'll watch it again ! Lol
To be honest credit cards is best for convenience - I would not mind if just 2% difference!
