    You can pay and get paid on the internet with it. No ID required. No blocked transactions (if you don’t go through companies, or use the right crypto). Anonymous and confidential payments on the internet that can be withdrawn or used without too many problems, with the coins made for that.

    P2P online payments without going through some kind of company is not possible without crypto. There’s just no alternative.

    You can accept donations without revealing personal information about yourself…

    Do I need to go on?

      I used it to send some money to a friend in another country.

      The fees from the more “conventional” services were really expensive to send money between our two countries, for some reason (government [dis]agreements, I assume).

      I just sent crypto instead. It was much cheaper and simpler.
