3 Ways Cryptocurrency Makes The World A Smaller Place
One of the biggest strengths of cryptocurrencies is the ability to provide alternative financial systems. As legacy systems continue to cater to yesterday’s world, friction in commerce and financial exclusion have become a trend globally. The advancements in cryptocurrency are beginning to bridge the gap for cross-border transactions and will with any hope, increase financial inclusion on a global scale, therefore making our world a smaller, more accessible place.

Borderless payments for remote workers
Domestic workers outside of their home country commonly send funds back home to support their families. A survey conducted by the International Labor Organization (ILO) found that 95% of migrant workers studied have sent money back to their home countries. 74% of these individuals are sending their funds home 1-4 times per year. 82% of those sending funds home choose to send their funds via money transfer systems. These intermediary systems are inefficient for this specific type of worker due to high transfer fees. On average these workers lose $30 for every $500 sent.

Cryptocurrency can take out the intermediary (and their fees) in order to seamlessly facilitate overseas transfers via block chain technology without compromising the initial amount of currency.

Efficient e-commerce
It once was a pipedream for a business to operate globally without the need for physical establishments. The rise of e-commerce and the recent breakthrough in cross-border consumer payments have made these dreams one step closer. The way customers interact with brands and businesses has been transformed with the age of the internet, with most communications being digital.

Cross-border payments facilitated by cryptocurrencies have removed the barriers for businesses wanting to set up shop overseas, making payments both more accessible and virtually instant.

Block chain has in some ways turned money into data and therefore made it universally able to verify, your money isn’t physical anymore as it is in the virtual cloud.

Financial freedom and inclusion
Countries like Greece, Venezuela, Argentina, and Brazil, are demonstrations that putting your money in a bank is essentially giving it to someone and hoping a legal system will look after you…until it doesn’t. Likewise, in lower economically developed countries where bank accounts aren’t easily accessible, financial limitations are impacting the financial freedom of those residing in countries such as these. Cryptocurrency offers solutions in both of these cases. Digital wallets offer a greater level of financial inclusion for those who can’t rely on, or access the current traditional financial structures in place.
