I have met with this problem several times and many others too met with this problem. We consider global accessibility a great advantage of BTC with very good reason. Technically, BTC is available from anywhere, anytime. The issue is coming down to communication. Assuming that your partner is not a BTC holder already, how do you have him exchange his money into BTC?
Even when BTC has these advantages, other payment processors have not and when people have to exchange money from any other payment processor into BTC, transaction issue comes from the other payment processor like PP holding back money or certain banks do not execute transactions in certain time intervals. How do we get around this?
I thought a payment processor where you can pay with a simple SMS or call from your phone credits and receive some BTC would be very useful.
There are ways to convert your fiat to bitcoin and vice versa but I agree with you--it's a hassle and problems arise sometimes....as more regulation comes into effect, conversions might become easier but they will also become more intrusive It's a trade off. Anytime we're dealing with fiat, we will have to deal with the burdens of regulation and governmental oversite which impedes the process. That's why we love bitcoin....it takes out the "trusted third paries" and makes things easier....but for now we will still have to deal with those third parties in some way. Having said that, I never convert my bitcoin to fiat or vice versa....I keep them separate.
the problems arise when someone wants a particular thing done, but applies rules and stipulations to what they want done. we have a constant stream of clients that request if we can perform service X and we tell them yes and here's how we will do it, the customer replies that they don't want it done that way and they want it done THIS way. this is why the customer is no longer right in most businesses, because for years the average customer base has become a whinny, immature class of people. they constantly break minor laws, inconvenience others and all based on a completely self-centered life. "it is ok for me to illegally park here, because i just need to use the ATM..." the most powerful word in the english language, capable of minimizing broken laws, hurt people and all manner of inappropriate behavior is JUST. there is NEVER a good reason to violate a law. do our clients sometimes break the law? oh yes, they do, but the difference is that they have not deluded themselves into the belief that their actions are ok, they accept that they are doing wrong and do it anyway. we don't need government oversight, we need mass extermination. i would rather be surrounded by those that know they are wrong and continue to do so, than those that think they are right because they live in a magic bubble that makes their needs more important than rules, their comfort more important than other people's and their time of greater value than others. i guarantee that in the demographic we commonly drive through that the schmucks that cut us off in traffic so they can get somewhere faster could fill their car with their friends and still never reach the income of one of us, and therefore they don't come close to paying the income taxes we do, the amount of revenue that we move through the local economy, the charity money we donate and do not even fathom the amount that we contribute to the human race as a whole.
you want to quickly and easily convert fiat to crypto and back again.....there are answers that do not involve third party anything
you want a website that does this so that you can sit back and do nothing to support your own business.....those magic and automated systems will involve a third part in some part
