Is there a service to receive local cash from stablecoins when traveling rather than relying on a plastic card as a solo point of failure? Today the ATM *literally* took my card.

This is not good UX. I will be grabbing my ATM card right away from now on. A backup is to send yourself a wire transfer. I'm not sure exactly how you'd receive it. Maybe a large international bank may let you receive a transfer even if you're not a customer.

I wasn't sure if I was having a stroke or losing my mind. I couldn't find my card anywhere before realizing the machine actually did steal it while I was counting my rent money.

Fortunately I found a Krungsri branch and will hopefully receive my card back this week.

I'm so back.

Thank you to Krungsri for rescuing my debit card that the ATM took on Sunday. After the ATM ate my card I found the closest branch and provided my passport. I had to sign some forms and was able to get my ATM card back after 3 days.

This nearly happened to me in /danang. I always make sure to check Google map reviews of ATMs – the RR just isn't worth it

There’s only one ATM downtown, and it has a 2.1 star rating. I checked the top review and decided it wasn’t worth the risk. Don’t worry, I’ll make sure you avoid it when you come here next week! 😉

Have Google Maps reviews typically mentioned "taking cards"?

There shouldn't be much risk if you take the card right away which I'll 100% be doing from now on.
