Hi! I'm from Argentina. In my country, when buying games or digital services on platforms like Steam, we have to pay around 70–76% in taxes on top of the original price.
It started at around 35% a few years ago and kept increasing gradually.
Because of this, many people started using crypto as a workaround.
For example, we buy Bitcoin or other crypto and use services like Bitrefill, Coinsbee, or Eneba to buy Steam gift cards. Then we redeem those cards to add balance and purchase games, avoiding the use of credit cards (and the extra taxes).
Just wanted to share this as it might be useful to others facing similar issues.
