Not in the same sense. If I use Paypal for example, I can only spend my funds in whatever they decide I should be able to spend it on. They can freeze my account at any point in time, no questions asked. With crypto, the blockchain is just

Indeed, I guess we were not talking about the same issue. For local transfers, sure, use whatever floats your boat: cash, digital wallets, bank transfers (I would not advise this, but whatever). Here we have several options for that, like M

I live in Argentina and crypto is the best solution available today. I've tried multiple services like Paypal, Payoneer, Wise, Bankera, Paysera, Wester Union, etc. They all have the same issues.

You can use any other blockchain. Why pick Ethereum?

Yet another middle man stating that crypto is not the way to go. Of course they are going to say that, they lose their 1% transaction fee.

Not in Argentina. The P2P market is big enough that you don't need to worry about finding buyers/sellers. Also, "dark alley", here? Not even close. We've been doing this for several years now (used to be only USD),

Not at all. I buy crypto through P2P, and I decide with whom.

Have you used several middlemen? I have, because I have no other option if I want to actually get paid. I've used Wise, Payoneer, Paypal, Paysera, Western Union, Revoult, Bankera, among others that I'm probably forgetting. They al

The problem here is that I'm tied to "Wise", and they can single handedly change how the service works. They decide to which accounts I can send money, not me. They decide what data I must share, not me. They decide the fees,

I dare you to send me a SWIFT transfer. Not only is very expensive, but most likely I will get my account frozen because international transfers are pretty much not allowed. It's always the same: entitled people from first world countr

What about international transfers without a middle man dictating what, when and how? If not for blockchain I would probably be working on a completely different field. Just because you don't find it useful does not mean that it's

At least on Binance there are no fees involved in P2P trading

Which kind of bank transfer are you talking about? A few days ago I got paid through ACH transfer and the transaction took 2 business days to execute, albeit with no transaction fees. Now I'm at the mercy of the bank regarding what I c

For me that's the perfect gaming monitor. Ultrawide is just chef kiss and the resolution is high enough to be sharp but not so high that you need a 3090 to run it.

In Argentina the cause is plain and simply "spending money like crazy and being corrupt". Source: I've been living here for my whole life.

As an argentine this is a spot on summary. We are in a shitty situation and things are just gonna wet worse

What's 'foo' and what you can do with it?

Yeah, that's very outdated and no longer the case. The tooling has improved a lot the last few years (I was there!). Today you would install 'ghcup', which manages compilers and build tools. Default installation includes the
