Crypto Is So Amazing
You know, I was making a transaction yesterday using a bank—you know how many middlemen were in the middle? Three banks, one payment processor, and PayPal. And those are only the ones I know about—there could be more. And on the side, the government’s taking taxes from all of it.
Four entities... that I did not ask for.
When we transact P2P using crypto, it’s just me and you.
It’s funny—when you deposit a big check, they’re like, “It’ll take five business days to clear, and you’ll be getting this amount on this day, and this amount on another day.”
Crypto is so amazing that you can send money across the world in a matter of minutes with no middleman. You really don’t understand it until you use it—and need it.
I was buying Valentine’s Day cards when all this shit was going down (using Bitcoin)—helping out some local homies/families who didn’t want the jab. It felt good, haha.
Not to mention, my transaction from yesterday failed—and I got the notification today, even though yesterday the bank and payment processor said it was successful. Today, the processor sent me emails saying it failed and I’ll get my money back in a few days.
So I paid again today to the seller using a debit card. 🤦♂️
All I was doing was trying to pay the annual fee for a service I’ve subscribed to for over 10 years—nothing shady.
If there was a crypto option there, I would’ve used it instead in a heartbeat.
