I’ll try to keep this simple, because it’s a side of crypto I often see overlook, dismissed or at least it's not talked about as much when it works even though it’s one of the main reasons it was created.
I live in a country currently facing a fiat foreign exchange shortage. For me, crypto has become the only way to move money outside the country, make international purchases, and even receive income from online commissions. Local debit cards have become limited to domestic online purchases only, and credit cards have become extremely difficult to get with requirements higher than the salaries I’ve earned at most jobs. Spending limits have also gotten stricter over time.
I’ve had moments where I struggled for years to get my prescribed medication when local pharmacies didn’t carry it. Sometimes I went years without it which made my health get worse. But thanks to crypto, I was able to buy USDT, and use a crypto card, and import my meds myself finally getting some sort of partial control over my health at the moment the damage has been done but at least i can reduce some of the future impact hopefully.
For me, this is a crypto success story in itself. It’s not always for chasing investments and profits. Sometimes, it’s the only way someone dirt poor like me i've been homeless a few times and just recovering a bit I'm definitely not getting the best offers from the banks here at the moment in regards to their services however thanks to crypto I was still able participate in things like modern e-commerce without being left behind as well as get access to sometimes essential goods.
anyway hope you all get what you want out of the blockchain because i know I've gotten some of what i need out of it i made this post hoping someone else who's in a similar situation as me might come across it one day and realize it can be a solution to their problem.
