@DavyJones by the way, I'm saying it from a point of regular crypto user. I'm paid with it, not because it's better than the banks, but because it's the only working option

and it's a whole lot of extra stress to deal with.

@ko Crypto is another answer. Monero payments cost ~1/500p.

@DavyJones good luck convincing your client it's not a scam

@ko

@mo It does of course depend on your use case, but the trust required in monero is less than a third party capitalist solution like paypall or wise.

@DavyJones lol no. If you got scammed through a regular bank, you have a pretty solid chance to get money back. If you got scammed with crypto — your money are gone forever. If you got scammed with monero — your money are gone forever without any trace

@mo I think you have too much faith in regular banks. If you receive monero you have it, no one can take it back. I do not see what you would need to convince the receiving party of given they got the transfer.

@DavyJones you can't only receive monero. You _have to_ use it somehow, or you can skip all that bullshit and do work for free without extra steps

and again, good luck convincing sender (client) to buy some suspicious unregulated money and send it to you, taking all the risks

@mo The original OP wanted to send value to someone abroad. I do not see that they need to trust anyone. It is true that the receiver needs some way of getting the value from it, but the same thing applies with something like paypall.
