Bribery is the status quo in many countries and I believe it’s a skill Westerners should at least attempt to understand for the future If you are in a situation (with a cop or otherwise) where you feel like a bribe might smooth things over, start the conversation by asking “Is there something I can do to resolve this?” and negotiate from there. Cash preferred for now but once Coinbase gets “the next billion” onchain I am confident USDC will also be accepted

Nah, the onchain bit will act as a brake It’s why you ask for a receipt when a cop or soldier tries to shake you down in eg Africa (North or SSA) They don’t want the paper trail

I’m from a third world country I can testify that the police accept bank transfers as bribes There’s no fear of the paper trail here

Most of the citizens won’t ask for a receipt The dysfunctional nature of the society is the legacy of the years of military rule the country experienced I believe it’ll take about 2 generations going forward to shake that off
