Hi All,
I saw this article on new Argentine regulations to severely curtail online imports to protect the Argentinean economy from the terrors of Amazon, and it got me really antsy about a currency collapse there:

As such, my next natural reaction was to wonder if it was possible for me (an American) to sell Bitcoins to people inside of Argentina, in exchange for goods shipped to me? ...

Numerous countries are in a similar boat to Argentina.  The thing that they have that first world countries want to buy is the products of human capital, cheaper than the first world can do it themselves.

Just a few examples.  Various forms of art, commercial art.  Illustrations, again largely commercial.  Porn.  On line services, such as website design.  Coding, various computer languages.

I do not know if law in Argentina restricts these activities - all of which bring money (bitcoin) into the country - but this is the obvious answer.
