How bizarre remittances went up during COVID-19. That is very bizarre, but not for me, Western Union is life, I guess that shows crypto still hasn't solved some very basic problems that millions of the world's citizens face. I can't open a bank account in Suriname because I can't produce an apostilled labor contract with a clear tracing of every dollar. Being a blogger and online teacher for PayPal payments doesn't fly here, so I'm in the same boat as a cocaine trafficker, and must live like such with my money.
