Re: Okay, now I get cryptocurrency
I have no problem with international bank transfers. They happen on the day I set them for, and the annual fee is ridiculously low
Exactly, and if you use a reputable online currency broker that is true even outside the Eurozone. Banks still charge rip-off commission and fees for currency exchange, dedicated brokers have online systems that work better and cheaper. I can send Euros to a UK bank within a day and get conversion to sterling at almost bank base rates.
It's only the US that makes it difficult (perhaps because they still don't quite believe that there is a different world outside their borders?).
