Remember when sending money to family overseas meant paying $30 in fees? Banks loved those currency conversion markups. They still do.

Bitcoin changed everything in 2009. Your cousin in Tokyo receives the exact same Bitcoin you sent from Chicago. No conversion needed because it's the same money everywhere.

Traditional banks charge 3-7% for international transfers. Plus their terrible exchange rates. Plus waiting days for settlement. Your $1000 becomes $920 by the time it arrives.

Bitcoin moves across borders instantly. The recipient gets Bitcoin, not some watered-down local currency. They can hold it, spend it, or convert it themselves at better rates.

Same money, same value, anywhere on Earth. That's what sound money looks like.
