That's like 40%!
Fun fact if that money is invested overseas in a legitimate enterprise they can transfer it in just fine.
- Unfortunately, it's complicated. There are in-country tax considerations for the overseas entity and, as Americans are often shocked to find when moving here, something like an LLC is going to cause a huge tax headache with taxes
  
  Also it's technically money laundering
Nintendo store having literal hentai shown to kids VS explicit adult game made for adults
This from a country that has the same attitude toward pedophilia as Richard Dawkins.
- Alright, whats the reference to this?
If only there was a digital fungible currency that didn't require a uninvolved third party to allow.
- If only that currency wasn't rife with techbros, scammers, and techbro scammers.
  
  the "currency" is rife with scammers because the "currency" is a scam.
  its a pump and dump ponzi. Its digital Bernie Madoff for the new millenium.
  all of them are. Every single one.
  Yes even the one you, dear reader, like. Especially the one you like.
  Thats why they are so unstable.
  And its also why anyone that tried to use them as currency abandoned it almost as soon as they started, because losing 20% of your transaction in the 5 seconds the transfer and processing takes isnt a deal anyone but the most desperate to stay in the shadows criminals are going to accept.
  
  Your right, its better that these bankers can deny a business its income.
- Yeah, if only there indeed was one.
- I mean there's GNU-Taler which is supposed to be a Libre/FOSS alternative to Mastercard, Visa, Paypal & Stripe
- The first coming to mind would be Nano. No fees.
