I just used this for $3000 to Algeria and I get $14.99 plus an absurdly bad exchange rate of 120 DZD where the bank rate is 134, so basically another 10.5% fee, which means $300 lost.
Frankly I think you have no clue what you are talking about if you somehow believe Western Union is superior in functionality and utility to Bitcoin.
Bitcoin transaction fee is currently equivalent to $7.60 and that is a flat fixed fee for any amount, even $1M worth.
Additionally there are multiple Bitcoin exchanges operating in Algeria, https://www.bitrawr.com/algeria
and you won’t lose anything in exchange rates in local currency transactions.
