Most global payments are transactions, not cash transfers, and the transacting parties have banking relationships that make those transfers low cost and strictly superior to Bitcoin.

As a freelancer based in EU working on some US projects, I'm forced to pay 5.5% fee to PayPal or some fix fee to the banks (SWIFT payment). Plus conversion fee from USD to EUR (or my local currency).

That's too high for just a simple thing as receiving money from different country. Really looking forward for that Strike Global.

Moving money between currencies has never been easier, or cheaper. I would humbly suggest you're doing it wrong.
