I grew up in a 3rd world country, when I started working remote for a company abroad I used to get paid in USD, every-time I go to the bank to take my own hard earned money, I had to give the bank so many details and had to wait multiple days before I can withdraw my own money.
The easiest way to withdraw my money was to ask the bank to convert my USD in to my local currency, and if I do that I lose close to 6% of my salary.
If I wanted to withdraw my money as USD, the only time I was allowed to do it is if I provided the bank with a valid flight ticket to prove I was going out of the country, and even then, I could only withdraw less than 40% of my monthly salary this way. (the % changes everytime the central bank wanted)
Every time I see people hating on crypto all I see is someone who either bet the farm on a get rich quick scheme or someone who comes from a very privileged background who haven't had a part of pey-check stolen by banks.
