AKA Money laundering and tax avoidance.



There are millions paying family in their home countries, it is a significant slice of local GDP in some ways places. You want to throw a straw man to make this look sketchy. I’m sorry but you are many many years too late for such antics.


I’m not sure I understand your issue with the previous comment, just because they are sending it to family at home doesn’t mean they are doing it in a lawful way or even that this is desirable or “good” economic behavior.


Is it for you to decide if it's good or desireable for me to remit money to relatives in a different country?


OK, remittance is a big deal. I accept that. But so what? How much of remittance is moving via Bitcoin? Is that an actual use of Bitcoin, or just a theoretical, it-might-happen-that-way-if-people-decided-to use of Bitcoin?
