NANO-ARS price is not accurate

rainbyte commented 4 years ago

There are many USD prices in Argentina:

Dólar Oficial: price defined arbitrarily by Argentine government
Dólar Blue: price based on the street markets, aka "dólar informal"
Dólar CCL: price based on financial bonds, aka "contado con liquidación"
Dólar Bitcoin: price based on BTC-ARS and BTC-USD prices correlation

It seems Coingecko uses "Dólar Oficial" price, which is not accurate because only Argentine government is able to obtain USD at this price, nobody else can.

It would be more accurate to use "Dólar Blue" price, as it seems local exchanges and p2p are using that price as reference.

The website https://coinmonitor.info provides daily price information here
