1. Use paypal or a credit card, your local EURO based bank (or any other EU currency denominated one) will happily exchange the transferred USD into local currencies based on latest exchange rates.
1. PayPal are notorious, for many good reasons. Credit card companies have shown themselves up too; blocking donations to Wikileaks, for example. Then there's the decentralization factor.
2. Seriously? The time and expense of this compared to crypto is huge. Again, decentralization > single point of failure.
Being glib about real benefits and use cases is not helping the conversation here.
PayPal is not needed for charging a credit card, and international bank transfers take a while but don't involve some weird payment provider in between neither. Also, being paid as a consultant is different thing from donations to WikiLeaks.
Regarding two: The transaction cost of crypto might be lower, but carries the risk of losing the full payments as soon as some exchange decides to stop withdrawals.
2. Use Western Union.
