Bitcoin gets written off as a rich-world playground, but that misses half the story. For people dealing with predatory remittance fees—watch 30% evaporate just sending money home—it's a different beast entirely. Skip the middleman tax, move value across borders on your terms. That's not libertarian fantasy; that's solving actual problems people face daily.

30% remittance fee? I've experienced that before, back during the 2018 mining crisis. The problem is, can cross-border transactions with Bitcoin really save money? Who bears the volatility risk? The recipient still has to find an exchange to cash out, and the fees add up... It sounds great, but in reality, it's never that simple.

The transfer fee rate is indeed outrageous, losing 30% directly, it's worse than anything else.

Speaking of which, a 30% fee is really outrageous. Every time my mom sends money back home, the bank takes a big cut. Bitcoin really hits a nerve there. But I have to say, the premise is that someone has to use it and dare to use it...

This 30% fee is indeed outrageous, but claiming that Bitcoin can solve this problem... depends on who is using it, right? Large holders can run away easily, but can the underlying remittance really save money? Haha.

Really, a 30% fee is crazy. Several friends around me are always ripped off when sending money home. Bitcoin's trick is actually to bypass these middlemen vampires...

Really, the 30% fee for international remittances is simply outrageous, even more ruthless than a robbery.
