Do you just not know how difficult it is to transfer that amount of money without using crypto?
Insane how the entire global economy moves things of this value around all day every day and we have no problem with it.

Are you suggesting it's impossible to outsource development work to someone for $220k?

Especially if that person is in a different country than the US. Wiring money from the US to many countries is an exercise in frustration and futility.
Web3 is Ethereum, but he pays in Bitcoin which is kind of opposite. So it's definitely not a Web3 thing.
