Paypal in my country is banned. Crypto allows me to have a financial connection with other countries.
Turkey banned Paypal in 2016 because of some bullshit "regulations". In reality it's our president trying to cut the people's ties with the world economy because he wants to have financial, political and social monopoly over us. I wasn't able to buy or order anything that was outside of Turkey without some sketchy middleman or site, until now.
Yesterday I ordered myself some swimming shorts, luckily the seller was familiar with crypto and accepted it. I know it may not seem like a big deal for you guys but the fact that I could trade freely was such a relieving feeling.
There was no middleman, no government monitoring my actions, no centralized bank who had authority over my assets, just me and a seller. With more people and businesses adopting crypto, all of this will be more widespread.
Crypto is inevitable.
