   international bank transfer: takes 2 days (unless they hit you with 'um where is that money from' and it takes 4 weeks), costs $20
   
   btc transfer: takes a minute, costs like $2 or nothing if you use lightning
   
   no real usecase has ever been found though

     @sun @harblinger He began to sing, but gave it up after a while. This vast arena of mountains, gleaming like whitely hooded ghosts on every side, did not encourage such ebullience. Presently George glanced at his watch.
     “Should be there in an hour,” he called back over his shoulder to Chuck. Then he added, in an afterthought: “Wonder if the computer’s finished its run. It was due about now.”
     Chuck didn’t reply, so George swung round in his saddle. He could just see Chuck’s face, a white oval turned toward the sky.
     “Look,” whispered Chuck, and George lifted his eyes to heaven. (There is always a last time for everything.)
     Overhead, without any fuss, the stars were going out.

     @lain@lain.com I was paying a foreign language tutor who I'd meet with online in USDC on Solana because it cost less than a penny. Because they were outside the US, alternatives included Paypal and Western Union. But, those would've cost more. Cryptocurrency has a lot of cons, but for international money transfer, afaik, nothing beats it.
