> Boise Aries is a top 5 city in the Americas Not to be confused with the far less populous and less famously immigrant-friendly Boise. On a more serious note, I'm curious what connection you see between immigration and tax evasion. Is Buenos Aires known for certain kinds of immigration?

Does immigration to South America is still a thing at all? For people besides Latinos. South American countries seem to have had so many false starts. The moment they have a few decades good run, and it seem the country is finally starting to take off they either have a revolution, putsch, junta, or a communist government.

I don't think you should get downvoted, it's a good question. I live in Buenos Aires, and there is definitely a general perception that the country is hopeless. But for some reason we do get a fair share of immigrants from more prosperous countries such as South Korea and China. There's also a lot of people coming in from Africa, mainly Senegal from what I've heard.

China still has huge wealth disparity. So, while China might seem overall more prosperous than Argentina, Chinese emigrants are often from parts of the country with a standard of living below Argentina's.

It means Bitcoin can't work for micropayments.

Self driving cars can't work because the roadway infrastructure improvements would cost too much, who'd pay for it? Wait! Here comes Apple, with $90B!
