In my experience you can get around it by having a linter rule disallowing it and using a local claude file instructing it to fix the linting issues every time it does something.

I'm an expat in a developing country and Binance p2p is widely used here to change USDT to the local currency and back. Haven't heard of too many issues and have used it a lot.
It is very much illegal though, I'll give you that one.

Would reccommend it for Dutch language speakers.

I live in a relatively poor village in Laos and have visited many villages way poorer than the one I live in and I think a big part of the reason people can stay happy and have hope on a budget of a few dollar a day is the strong sense of family and community in these villages. The poor in the western world seem much more isolated in comparison.

Multiple small rotors is much less efficient than one big rotor, especially at bigger scale. So it's not economical.
