Hear, hear!
I once was denied access to my own money over a very long weekend during which a bill popped up that I had to settle immediately. I ultimately ended up borrowing money from my family.
The reason for the denail turned out to be a clerical mistake.
The feeling of dread I experienced thanks to this tought me to always kept a small stash of cryptocurrency (and cash!) for situations like this.
In the age of uncaring mega corporations and unaccountable governments, having money not controllable by either is a necessity.
- betwixthewires 4y agoI do the exact opposite, I use cash for everything and keep some in the bank for ordering things online. That way I dont have to really worry ababout it much at all.
- tzXqdZGby9aJUws 4y agoHow would you have used crypto to pay that bill that popped up (???) and you had to settle immediately (???)? Or to pay for anything else, for that matter.
- SturgeonsLaw 4y agoHere in AU there are a few companies which let you pay any bill with crypto (ie; you send them crypto and they pay the bill using conventional means). https://www.finder.com.au/crypto-bill-payments https://www.finder.com.au/crypto-bill-payments There are probably equivalent companies in most markets.
- mobiclick 4y agoI wouldn't have been able to for that emergancy bill specifically. I would have used cash. However had I had more time to liquidate my crypto, I definitely would have used crypto. I know two people wouldn't mind buying my crypto with traditional currency.
