Well i learned a different lesson. It's now extremely easy to set up a global transaction network, or you can choose from one of the thousands of existing ones.

Real transactions. > Maybe you mean the regulatory aspect, not the technical? "Both. Both is good".gif [1] Their dashboard discussion is here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38403891 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38403891, the dashboard itself is https://bfcm.shopify.com https://bfcm.shopify.com

  > Maybe you mean the regulatory aspect, not the technical? Both... but also neither. I meant mostly the marketing aspect. Or for a better word, prestige aspect. People really hate crypto as online cash. Examples: 1. Patreon has held a poll about what new features to add [0]. Crypto was the only feature the creators actively voted against. Note that for creators, crypto means one more way to receive money. 2. My anecdote: I was in a discord group where one member commissioned a short animation from another. They're from different countries and the commissioner couldn't use paypal (for some reason) however. I suggested USDT and explained how to convert it from/to fiat. They ended up using international wire transfer (fee: ~$30). 3. Any HN thread when you mention crypto.
