On: After Cash: All Fun and Games Until Somebody Loses a Bank Account

[GabrielBen]

You haven't been to argentina then. Money is an inconvenience every single day. Handling change, and having to have dozens of bills in your wallet all the time is a hassle. Visiting an ATM every couple of days, or running short of cash and being unable to pay for anything.

Cash has other inconveniences cards dont have , and viceversa.

Argentina is a living proof that cash is the king.

Until very recently, as a visitor you will be losing 30% of value if you withdraw funds from ATM or pay with card, as opposed to bringing USD cash and exchanging it on street.

You'll do even better if you 'bring' bitcoins with you for exchange.
