The Transferwise borderless account is pretty good, at least I much prefer it to Revolut - since SEPA transfers happen same day, the app is better and the debit card is free.

Transferwise refused to open an account for my company because its address was a PO box.

And FBcoin won't make it any easier, capital controls in India and China won't just go away (not that FB is even allowed in China). Centralized entities will be regulated to maintain the status quo.

Yes, it's all legal issues. If the government doesn't want money to easily be sent in/out of the country, this isn't going to change that

Not true. You can trade USDT for USD on Kraken.

That's not arbitrage though. Kraken has a market rate. The only way to arbitrage the USDT / USD rate is if you have a reliable place to sell USDT at 1:1.

You can definitely use Kraken's market to arb:

- buy BTC with your USD on Coinbase Pro.

- sell your BTC into USDT on Binance.

- Sell your USDT back into USD on Kraken.

It really doesn't matter if the last step is 1:1 or another rate. If the price between Coinbase and Binance is big enough you can profitably arb this.

You are right, but it's a tiny market though.

> He may have committed some heinous crimes outside of the actual hacking/leaking

Pretty serious throwaway comment without stating what "heinous crimes" were apparently committed..

If they were heinous then a) they wouldn't have needed a sealed indictment, and b) the US couldn't possibly claim jurisdiction, surely the country he committed them in would have laws covering it. So we can dismiss the possibility.

It's not.

>Brave stole a lot of bitcoin from people by converting it into their useless/worthless BAT.

What is this even supposed to mean?

I'm both a Brave publisher (4 verified websites) and a Brave browser user, nothing like this ever happened

As a publisher you can choose in which token you want to be paid, BTC, ETH or else, you are never forced to accept BAT.

As you can see on this screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/TKg1m0i

Not sure how one can say brave stole anything. Pretty sure i use their browser for free and buy my BAT on my own doing. And give it to publishers on my own doing
