Wonderful, your single anecdote negates a whole litany of international payments problems that many people right here on HN have complained about repeatedly in numerous comments across numerous threads. International payments outside of major mutually coordinated markets are a known, frequently mentioned difficulty for many businesses and people. This is something that should be as easy as sending an email, but it doesn't even come close to that on a global scale. Crypto needs to be ironed out very thoroughly but it at least offers one possible avenue for avoiding these problems, with the added benefit of giving users access to a certain degree of anonymity and resiliance to arbitrary institutional payment/account freezes.
- Nursie 7y agoWonderful, your single rebuttal negates the actual market response to cryptocurrency as an international remittance tool, which so far has has been utterly negligible, because it turns out not to actually solve any of those problems where they are felt, and where they aren't it's rendered irrelevant by the lack of protections and inability to compete, either on ease of use or fees.
