Moving money is not free, and managing payments/etc can be a huuge headache. Sometimes it’s easy, but sometimes it’s not.

This is one of the cases where crypto works well.

I will include this security project as an addendum to my reply: <https://github.com/juli/taint>. Views on crypto can differ dramatically depending on the country you live in.

There are many cryptocurrencies that allow anyone to move money quickly, cheaply, and on the same day in less than a minute and requires zero bank accounts.

At this point there isn't an excuse.

And which are trivial to convert back and forth between real money and cryptocurrency? And hold their value with sufficient stability that you can convert USD into the currency, make a transaction, wait a few weeks, make a transaction the other direction and then convert back into USD, with roughly no loss in value?

[sowbug]

For this use case, that's a virtuous proof-of-work requirement.

[rvz]

Very tough question. Stablecoins?

[mort96]

Didn't people realize that those automated pegging algorithms don't really work after the last round of stablecoin collapses

[fidelramos]

At least DAI is holding well. It existed before LUNA and it continues to work today.

Except not all stablecoins are the same.
