Freelancers in my country (Argentina) will happily accept crypto instead of dollars so they aren't robbed by our government, it is really an alternative for us.
Not only that, is another way for us to save money in cash since we have an extremely limited to other currencies (we have 50% annual inflation so saving in our national currency isn't an option)
>Calling taxes "Being robbed by your government" is such a cliché
Tell me, where are you from? Do you have free access to other currencies where you live? Because I don't, and where I live we have 50% inflation (even 100% for groceries). It's not taxes when we don't get anything in return and we can't even save in the currency we are paid.
If you manage to get the full value of your money, other people will lose the full value of theirs. The value that supposedly backs your local currency simply does not exist. Is it not fairer that everyone gets 50%?
To be clear nobody is supposed to save in the currency they are paid, ever, anywhere on earth. I’m not saying that makes 50% inflation ok just that this not the argument. Not least because bitcoin has once again seen 50% inflation in the last 60 days.
One of the parent comments above said "I’ve often wished there were a way to organize against crypto", I believe USDC is another crypto isn't it?
But yes, is another way many freelancers are paid here, it's not just bitcoin and ETH, many use stablecoins.
I only find kinda selfish the comfortable position to be against ALL cryptocurrencies (which don't do such a damage to the climate like bitcoin.) while living in the first world, even those
