Wrong ARS exchange rate #109

Open maristia opened 3 weeks ago

maristia commented 3 weeks ago

ARS exchange rate is the "official", but not the real one. The real one can is called "dolar blue", and can also be taken from P2P crypto exchanges to USDT/ARS

Your concept of 'real' is probably wrong. I'm from Argentina, and I know many suppliers who use the 'dólar oficial' to set their prices. Even if the 'blue' dollar is more commonly used — which I can't confirm — that doesn't mean the rate set by the government is worthless.

That being said, it would be nice to have both, but you know, Argentina is quite a special case.

Yo también lo soy. Pero me parece que la cotización del dólar blue (o ccl o mep) son mucho más representativas de la realidad, y lo que la gran mayoría usa. Es cierto que importadores y exportadores lo usan, pero en porcentaje se población (y especialmente % de potenciales users de la app), son mínimos.

Me parece que para trackear gastos, es más útil la cotización del mep. Sería bueno tener ambas, pero se haber una, la oficial sería mí última opción.
