Just paid someone for a piece or artwork in USDC. We both saved around $50 in extra fees as she is in the UK.

bro what type of size are you doing in the art world that had $50 of transaction fees? does the pakistani intelligence service know about your money laundering art activities?

bro have you ever sent money to another country

it's $30-40 per transfer and takes days for any amount even $1

like i'm pretty sure they have paypal in the UK still

I think there are more things, including IRL you can pay for with $ on base now vs on paypal

i mean i don't think so
like i hope and shit 
and on main i'd be like
yeah man there's so much USDC adoption. omg. fuck. idk how we used to buy coffee prior to USDC. jesus christ. 
but like no

is this for intelligence? does Chamath Parlaspacila from the all-in pod know USDC is the primary medium of exchange in the information black markets around the world? 
is the CIA behind USDC to facilitate the information markets?

Because I have to deal with people in third world countries and pay them for stuff (most of them are very online regardless) this has proven a godsend several times, but its true US-UK there are other options.

yeah i mean there's a leap between that and uSdC iS mOrE aCcePtEd tHaN pAyPaL
i mean i hope so
on main i would've been like yooo, your reliance on USDC for your paycheck is solid evidence that idk how we used to fucking buy coffee prior to USDC woooow
