    Fun fact if that money is invested overseas in a legitimate enterprise they can transfer it in just fine.

      Unfortunately, it’s complicated. There are in-country tax considerations for the overseas entity and, as Americans are often shocked to find when moving here, something like an LLC is going to cause a huge tax headache with taxes

    If only there was a digital fungible currency that didn’t require a uninvolved third party to allow.

        the “currency” is rife with scammers because the “currency” is a scam.

        its a pump and dump ponzi. Its digital Bernie Madoff for the new millenium.

        all of them are. Every single one.

        Yes even the one you, dear reader, like. Especially the one you like.

        Thats why they are so unstable.

        And its also why anyone that tried to use them as currency abandoned it almost as soon as they started, because losing 20% of your transaction in the 5 seconds the transfer and processing takes isnt a deal anyone but the most desperate to stay in the shadows criminals are going to accept.

            One of those stable coins was once found to not having a single cent backing it, unlike what the team behind it claimed.

            Risk for risk, I stick to the feeless coins.

              I only say this because the parent comment was in reference to payments and the reply was talking about investment inflation / deflation. for strictly sending payments, stablecoins can be okay. but as for crypto shit as a whole I’m not a fan of what it’s become.

            Not sure why your down voted. I have used them before to transfer money and works fine. It’s exactly why it exists. I wouldn’t store money there, but for transfers and transfer out, they work perfectly fine.

                  Lol Tether a company that claims to have $100 billion in reserve to back its currency but has never had an audit. Nothing sketchy about that at all.

          Way to reinforce the meme that all crypto haters are idiots by straight up lying and making shit up. Come on man.

          And here we are - greedy scam idiots on the left, angry ignorant haters on the right and we chug along through mud. The internet is so tiring…

            the rubes do get so very hostile when they are told the truth.

              You know it’s possible to be critical of something without lying? You literally invalidate all of your points and I say this as a crypto hater myself. Just stop this stupid shit that is not helping anyone and just infect people with stupid.

                  Yeah it seems kinda crazy these days to believe that society should organize itself democratically through trust and merit but Americans be like: “oh no the system failed me once - time to destroy everything!”

              Crypto is a failure because of design failures not because “it’s some control ponzi scheme”.

              I take issue with OP attributing the problem through appeal to emotion rather than actually learning what went wrong. As you implied the tech behind crypto is very interesting and there’s a lot of value there that has been buried.

              Now, idiots like OP convolute all of this process with idiotic reductionism that helps no one and will just lead us to repeat the same mistakes.
