If you don't live in the US, then it becomes difficult to prove state residency as they want things like pay stubs, cellphone bills, and rent payments. Or you need to find someone who can prove residency and then claim (lie) that you reside (domicile) with them.
I don't have any of that. But maybe you can appreciate that I don't want to have to jump through those hoops just to be able to send someone $100 digitally.

Surely you store fiat currency somewhere, and isn't there a "transfer money" button where you plug in an account number and institution and the money arrives shortly after?

- jen20 6y agoWhile I assume you're talking about those without bank accounts in this statistic, it's also not true of most bank accounts in the US either so far as I can tell. The inability to make transfers immediately and without fees between accounts held at different banks is bizarre for those used to UK banking.
- doingmyting 6y agoPlease humor me as to where this fictional place is. If you're born in a place you will have a birth certificate and can get documents to prove you are supposed to be there. I've never been to a country where this wasn't true. If you immigrate to a place you'd equally have documents to prove you should be there and can acquire things like a driver license or id cards to take with you. Barring complete war zones or jumping the border wall, I don't know of a place where this wasn't the case.
