| > friendly advice. read more thanks, I am a software engineer with 30 years of working experience, still find bitcoins the most obtuse way to send money, first of all because bitcoins are not money, secondly because 100% of those I would send money to don't know anything about bitcoins (why would they care?) and last but not least because it's easier and cheaper to convert money to gold and ship the gold (assuming I don't want to send real money) buying prepaid credit is also an option, it works everywhere bitcoins work and it's free, immediate and it's money, directly spendable on goods and services hell, even shipping banknotes in an envelope is better than sending bitcoins! bitcoins are useless for this use case to anyone who really wants to send money to someone they care about > "you can send money to anyone you want with fiat". which is false. it's not. I can send fiat money to anyone I want (emphasis on I) but to prove me wrong you can send a couple bitcoins to my mom and I'll show you she doesn't know what to do with them. if you're interested in proving me wrong, I can give you her wallet address. in the end ask yourself this: why North Korea is disconnected from internet, but allows bitcoins? are bitcoins really pro people and against oppressive regimes? p.s. as much as I don't care about burn accounts, yours is actually really suspicious... |
