What a great read.

A fun note: as the article says, the usage of cuevas and the ARS<>USD black market is openly discussed and not a taboo topic by any means. A fun example of that is the fact that the dolar blue exchange rate gets openly listed in business newspapers of Argentina, such as El Cronista.

I always wonder how they come up with the number. I laugh imagining they might send an intern to walk around Buenos Aires, shyly opening the door of each cueva and asking "sorry sir, how much is it today?".
