- elil17 4y agoAbsolutely, you can even get it insured (although there's often a limit in the $1,000s or $10,000s).

- elliekelly 4y agoI periodically send an envelope of cash to Mullvad. So far I haven’t had any issues.
- glerk 4y agoMullvad supports Monero now, you can save yourself the trouble.
- elil17 4y agoMost projects don’t have any issue using bank accounts because they work well. As others have stated some projects do.
- z3c0 4y agoHow does getting it insured guarantee that the money will make it to its destination? That's only to get it back in the instance of theft. Anyone who's ever had family or friends in third-world countries can tell you firsthand that mailing even consumer goods is a bad idea. Mailing cash is plain foolish.
- glerk 4y agoWould you also argue that email is useless because you can just send a letter? I don’t think “crypto is useless because you can just send cash by mail” is a serious argument, sorry.
