I don't ser bitcoin right now as a tool for savings, maybe for transactions.

Lets say you work from Argentina for a company abroad. You have three options to get paid:

1. Wire transfer, the compay send you dollars or euro and you get pesos at the oficial rate.

2. There is always people trying to pay things outside, you can give him your dollars outside in exchange of dollars inside arg por pesos at the blue rate.

3. Buy bitcoins outside sell inside.

1. You lost 30% exchange rate, you will not be able, to buy dollars back at the oficial rate.

2. Is 3%

3. Is 10%

Since 2 and 3, are not 100% legal, you will have problems buying things since you cant justify your income.
