> my bank disabled my credit card just … Yes, this can be a real problem when traveling. > Bitcoin always works … This is obviously a completely bullshit statement. Bitcoin almost never works in places where credit cards or ‘fiat’ are accepted. > If a person thinks that fiat payments work well, he hasn't really travelled yet to different cultures. ‘Fiat payments’ covers everything from the ATM network to cash to western union to Hawala. All aspects of fiat payments indeed have problems. However the idea that today, Bitcoin solves these problems outside of a tiny fraction of contrived cases is a delusional fantasy. Almost nobody in the world trades in Bitcoin. Almost everybody in the world trades in ‘fiat’.
