Been in Santa Cruz for several months and will be here for at least 6 more months. I'm basically in Bolivia for good, although I've literally only been to Santa Cruz, eventually I'll explore La Paz and some other cities.

Let's try to get a meetup going. Also I was just at an expat meetup last week, there were almost 20 people getting dinner at a bar. We can try to get a nomad list meetup going or a combined nomad list / expat meetup.

Hey all. I have lived in La Paz for 6 years.if you need any support let me know or if you want to meetup. I'll reply to some questions about Bolivia soon.

Try bitget or binance p2p trading but yes need a Bolivian bank account (local I.d)

Awesome eventually I will live in La Paz for 3+ months. I’ll send you a DM and we can coordinate.

This advice matches my experience, however… i actually have a Bolivian ID and bank account, and step 1 needs to start with me transferring USDT to a Bolivian I know. Reason being, I’m American and the rules are different for Americans due to money laundering laws. Eg binance.us is a different site from binance.com. I looked into like 7 other exchange sites and none of them were available for US citizens. Also regardless of your nationality, you always get the best rates with crisp 100 dollar bills in your pocket.

Black market rates are different do they honor that?

deanlarsen 1mo

Did you try bitget

deanlarsen 1mo

I think has different laws for us citizens

deanlarsen 1mo

Private message me maybe. Clog up this chat

I use Aussie card buy USDT then a seller of Bolivians buys my usd and puts it in my Bolivian account

deanlarsen 1mo

At BM rate. Currently around 9

So according to just a quick internet search, bitget isn’t available for US citizens.

When I say best rate with physical dollars. With dollars you basically get the blue rate. With crypto first you take a loss to covert to USDT or USDC.

Yeah we’ll switch to DM. Last thing for others reading this… the blue dollar might not be around forever, sadly.
