n Argentina, buying US dollars was a crime, but keeping your Argentinian pesos was suicidal -because of the huge inflation. For that reason, everybody had to buy US dollars in the black market.

Think about the implications: you received your salary in pesos and ran to buy US dollars; that means everybody escaped from the white money/white economy to the black money/black economy.

All Argentinian savings are out of the government's radar in US dollars bought outside the system. That means the savings are safe, but it is difficult to buy anything without having to create or use fraudulent mechanisms that in any normal country would be used only by criminals. However, in Argentina, we all have savings outside the system, and then we all have to master those concepts.

Basically, the previous Argentinian governments pushed all Argentinians to act as criminals.

Now, the goverment wants Argentinians to invest their savings but that's not possible! Nobody can go to a bank with a bag full of US dollars bills. How did we get here? One immorality at a time.
