As someone working with African companies (legitimate businesses, mid-sized transactions), the key use case is payments in stablecoins—their banking infrastructure doesn’t allow for reliable and consistent foreign remittances.
These deals would be practically impossible without stablecoins.
(And to be clear, I’m someone who has never been particularly enthusiastic about crypto or blockchain.)

It kinda gets me into the stance: every member of EU parliament and EU commission should make their bank accounts fully transparent so populi can check whether they are committing some act of corruption.

2FA is risky for me as I travel internationally a lot and non-working number can be a real hassle (it happened already, I was locked out of services because of that). Verificators can be also tricky if you loose phone...
Honestly, having 2 accounts on PM should not be an issue (they prohibit mass creation of free accounts, but a bit unclear where is the line)
So good ole email makes the most sense.
Thanks, PM replied with some demands, so let me see..
But it sucks, yeah.

Thanks for this clarification. I use Brave less because I am actually afraid to install extensions, because addition phoning to Google. Or how does Brave handle that?

Unrelated to article. But in many countries in Europe, even if you live in cities, its fairly easy to find fresh milk from farmers. From there on butter is easy to make by yourself.
