I should have clarified a bit: I live in Argentina, and yes, this sort of ARS for USD trading is illegal. Selling commodities for foreign currency is also illeg

  Sure, clearly his cueva activities of selling ARS for USD and vice versa are illegal; I was just talking about the Bitcoin trades. I think you may be mistaken that “selling commodities for foreign currency is illegal”, because every Coto grocery store has a sign at every checkout counter explaining that they accept US dollars and Euros for their groceries, and at what ratio to the peso. And they’re enrolled in Precios Cuidados, so whatever illegal things they do, they pretty much have to do them in secret. There might be something illegal about selling Bitcoin for USD, but I’m pretty sure that it’s not simply that it’s selling a commodity for foreign currency.
