> I’ve been using Bitcoin to get paid for a couple of years at this point where I live here in Argentina

Can you explain how this is better than e.g. Wise (formerly Transferwise), PayPal, or some other international money transmitter?

And in the case of El Salvador, I think Western Union is popular for remittance because people without a bank account can get cash. Bitcoin does not solve the “cash to people without a bank account”. If the idea is, that people should instead transfer money to each other via the Strike app, when they pay for things, I fail to see how this is different from e.g. sending money to each other with PayPal.
