 Inspiration comes when you expect it the least. 
 💜 🤙 🔥🔥🔥 ur money but they tell u when/where you can spend 
 No they don’t. 
 Yeah I’ve had this conversation with other American expats. I had to western Union myself money for like four months while in Latin America. Trust me I tried everything but it took forever to get a new card and they were blocking every other way to use MY money abroad 
 In 10 years, I cannot see a world where this would ever happen. #Bitcoin does solve this. 
 Pole dancing?🕺

 Yooooo 😂 
 you can’t send them bitcoin? 
 Can your family use bitcoin in Egypt? 
 The liquidity to transfer it into local FX and pay a housing installment denominated in local FX, is not great. 
 I can’t even imagine attempting this for my family in Argentina. 
 😂 
 stop supporting banks by acknowledging they have any control over economic energy ⚡ 
 Why no #Bitcoin or even better #Monero? 
 Based on her past tweets, Egyptians prefer USD. They are ambivalent about Bitcoinnand digital money, as is most of the muslim world.
From what i have seem, they misapply a rule against usery, to Bitcoin. They mistake the value rise for bitcoin to intetest, if they know  about bitcoin, and are warry of non backed, or non gold anything, if not.
