Sending a check in the mail is not the same as having a digital currency. You can add cash to the bank account and write the check.

You still need to have a bank account to do that, and bank accounts are one of the first things law enforcement freezes when they want to take away people's assets. Objecting that the deposits you made into the bank account were cash won't help much at that point.

You don't need a bank account to send a money order. You just need to visit a post office with cash.

The post I responded to said "check", not "money order".
