Plenty of people here who are paid or pay someone else in foreign currency. Myself included.

TrasnferWise saved me thousands already, even if Interactive Brokers are half the price, but not an easy UI.

Sure, but 150k users liked and 30k users retweeted a deep-dive engagement into the intricacies of how hack-ey the current money transfer system is.

Some percentage of those people who deal with this stuff on a weekly or monthly basis will say "yeah, this is f'd, there must be a better way..."

Where is there a "deep-dive engagement into the intricacies of how hack-ey the current money transfer system is" at the link? I see a tweet with a fun story that's about no negative part of banking and bunch of replies about how this is cool or how the commenter also has a story about lost property. If it's deeper I didn't scroll far enough down, and I doubt very many of those interacting with the tweet did either.
