Are the transaction fees still ridiculous and is it any faster? I thought it's generally too expensive or slow for most normal transactions
No, at the moment the fees are quite low. Maybe you could trust the person asking for crypto instead of showing an anti-crypto bias?
Hey there, another venezuelan here. if you want to help this person PLEASE dont send any money without asking for verification first, I have seen so many people lately using this "please help me im venezuelan and i am in need" to scam money, there has been at least 5 sucessfull scams on r/btc, r/bitcoin and other online forums. Also Please note that: 1- it's harder to change BTC for VEF than change USD for VEF 2- thi…
It's heartbreaking seeing what happened to Venezuela. It is also really scary as Venezuela was doing relatively quite well compared to other nearby nations. Democracy, functional institutions (relatively) and then .... people chose to vote in some strong men who trashed it. Granted oil prices would have resulted in real problems anyway, but nothing to the extent we're seeing now. While nobody would want that situatio…

Coin Metrics says the transaction fee stands at $7.67 which is astronomical. ETH is a bit lower at $1.39 but that is still far far higher than most payment instruments.
The StdCost right now is a dime. You can get away with less if you're willing to wait for confirmation (which is possible if you're transacting locally with neighbors).

WOW... no wonder there are so many AI startups working on translation. I thought Google Translate uses AI now fairly perfectly. Why is anyone paying a human translator $40/page when Google Translate is "free"?
If you just need to get the basic gist of something in a different language, then machine translation is obviously more performant.

Another point is it misses a lot of context. My girlfriend is fluent in English and Chinese and has an Art History degree. That domain knowledge makes her quite valuable as a translator for Chinese galleries. There's quite a lot of research involved when she does a translation to find the correct terms for techniques, mediums, styles. Translation is more difficult than it would seem on the surface.
