The Ethereum co-founder, on his Twitter thread, pointed out how cryptocurrencies, unlike fiat money, are a very convenient source of international payments.

People continue to underrate how often cryptocurrency payments are superior not even because of censorship resistance but just because they’re so much more convenient.

According to the study, dealers are charged around 1% for processing cryptocurrency transactions, which is less than the average fee of between 1.5% and 3.5% charged for processing credit cards or other payment methods. Thirty-two percent of the businesses that are adapting to the use of cryptocurrency payments have said that the ability to reach new customers is the vital feature that attracts them.
In recent months, the Ukraine government along with a non-governmental organization (NGO) raised $63.8 million, through more than 120,000 crypto asset donations since the start of the Russian invasion. Cryptocurrencies have emerged as a lifeline to save the Ukrainian economy. Digital currency donations have helped fund Ukraine’s army, increased relief operations, and will aid in the nation’s reconstruction.
After looking at all the pros, there are also some underlying cons to this. People refrain from adopting cryptocurrency payment methods due to their price volatility, complexity, and regulatory risk.
