So, should I buy a ridiculously big computer I don't need or three very cool bicycles I don't need either?
The other option is buying fucking foreign currency.

If the things you planned to need are imported, pinch your nose and buy those god-forsaken dollars.
If the things are not imported, I always suggest people use the 'caja de ahorro UVA' secretly offered by Banco Nación and Banco Provincia. You put your money there, it automatically gets adjusted by the inflation index published INDEC (and an extra 2% on top in the case of Banco Nación). There's no volatility, it's not affected by the market crash of the month; the only complexity is that you have to go in person to open it and the money gets locked for three months after you send it. But they even give you a debit card, after the three months are over the money keeps getting automatically adjusted for inflation but you can use it as if it were in a normal bank account. It's very convenient.
Sure, thats what I've been doing, but I think we are on the verge of "uuuuh yeah about those UVA-bux, well, bad news for you"
I don't think they have a reason to default on peso-denominated debt. It generally doesn't make sense to do it, but Cavallo and Dujovne both did this anyway to keep the money funnel to the US working for just a little bit longer so their friends could also get out.
The funnel is already out of order, defaulting on pesos could only make it worse; I'm not convinced what would be the point.
