Indeed one of the biggest reasons I like cryptocurrencies is that I've been burned many times by paypal, payoneer, bank accounts, etc. Just the other day when I tried to withdraw from a certain payment processor, which I've done 100s of times and is always instant, but it took 3 days because they were "validating it" (which makes no sense, it's a withdrawal to my own bank account), and I needed that money at that ver…
The easiest way to withdraw my money was to ask the bank to convert my USD in to my local currency, and if I do that I lose close to 6% of my salary.
If I wanted to withdraw my money as USD, the only time I was allowed to do it is if I provided the bank with a valid flight ticket to prove I was going out of the country, and even then, I could only withdraw less than 40% of my monthly salary this way. (the % changes everytime the central bank wanted)
Every time I see people hating on crypto all I see is someone who either bet the farm on a get rich quick scheme or someone who comes from a very privileged background who haven't had a part of pey-check stolen by banks.
