Is Bitcoin really catching on in Argentina, or is it Cyprus all over again?
bitcoin was on the media for two weeks; but it's still really difficult to get bitcoins here (except for localbitcoin), you need a special permission for international bank transfers... and you also need a permission to buy foreign currencies. 
bitcoin has no nationality so it makes no sense to call it foreign =P
