San Antonio, US Newcastle Upon Tyne, UK Hamilton, NZ Deventer, Netherlands You obviously won’t have an issue, because it’s so common for crypto to be used as a proper currency
minus-squareVaryk@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-27 months agoObviously not.

Newscastle upon Tyne: 5wire Academy for distance learning Tech companies Travel companies Clothing companies Watch companies Do you want something specific? NZ and the Netherlands - also hundreds. Why don’t you go try using your US currency in New Zealand, the Netherlands and the UK, or try using NZD in Vanuatu? That’ll work out great for you. It’s right in line with you continually proving yourself wrong.
