When will this false narrative finally die? Bitcoin is practically useless for remittance; I know this from first-hand experience. Bitcoin has to be converted into useable money by the recipient and that process is very inconvenient, slow, expensive and possibly dangerous if you follow the advice of bitcoin enthusiasts and meet up with random sellers in the street. All of this also presumes the recipient is technically literate enough to use and secure bitcoin without the sender being around to hand-hold them through the process and we must assume that they have reliable access to a phone/computer and internet. I'm sure there is some legitimate remittance activity through bitcoin but it is very uncommon.
