Alternative form of money transfer (large sums).

El Salvador is experimenting.

Alternative form of payment on some sites (haven’t needed it yet)




I'm not convinced that the population of El Salvador is into it to the same degree that Nayib Bukele is. The whole thing sounds very fishy.


Well, I said “experimenting”

Also, I didn’t comment on whether the experiment is ethical. Crypto and morality is a whole can of worms that I find hard to understand in a satisfactory manner due to the high stakes of different groups abd they all seem to have a point.


I assume you've been filing form 8300 with the IRS for those transfers over 10k in value, right?

Right?


Why would you pay for something with any crypto, no one wants to be the next guy to pay a billion dollars for a couple pizzas.
