Overview

Dolar Blue refers to a currency bought and sold outside the formal circuit in Argentina. The term is also known as "parallel dollar" or "informal dollar" and is negotiated directly between private parties (peer to peer). On April 2023 the term Dolar a 500 became a trending topic on social media after the currency reached a peak in inflation of 500 Argentine Pesos. The news inspired a series of memes on Twitter and TikTok.

Background

On April 25th, 2023, Ámbito[1] website posted an article explaining why the "dolar blue" became a trending topic on the internet. That day, the "parallel dollar," as it is known in Argentina, registered a rise of around $500 Argentine pesos (around 2.2 USD).

Online Reactions

As many financial experts in Argentina expected the dolar blue to reach the 500 Argentine pesos landmark, memes were being posted on Twitter and other social media to express people's reactions to the unfortunate inflation.

The video (seen below) garnered 683 likes and 330 retweets in a week.

And I thought The US had a debt and money printing problem.

Also, why is it whenever I look for when stuff started to go really wrong, I always seem to get a point close to 2013? I was expect something closer to 2007-08 because of the Global Financial Crisis.
