As someone who uses Wise out of necesity: no, it's not better. Wise can freeze my account whenever they want. They can go out of business any day. Fees can change over time. Transfers can take a long time (ex. wire transfers can take several working days). Crypto is a far better solution in my experience.

- newaccount74 4y agoTransferring crypto across borders without exchanging to/from local currencies or USD is of course trivial. But it's also useless, since most people can't pay their rent with crypto.
