If you find an Argentine comrade, do not hesitate to trade in game assets and currency immediately.
They appreciate the gesture completely.
Heck, runscape and wow stuff is still traded iirc.

I'm pretty sure Old School RuneScape was propping up the whole Venezuelan economy for a while. There have been massive ban waves recently though, so I wonder how they're doing now...

This is meaningless. Currencies have different baselines. Western dollars, euros, and pounds happen to have roughly the same value.

Anarcho-capitalism is when money is worth less than a vbuck, meanwhile true anarchism is when money is worth more than a vbuck

Right, it's more about how the baseline changes over time.

10 years ago, ~14 pesos would trade for 1 USD.

Today, ~1400 pesos trade for 1 USD.
