In my country, we still live in technology stone age. Believe it or not, we still don't have access to online international payments. People in my country can't use PayPal or Debit/Credit international cards. And even with virtual cards, we can't deposit into them by all means because we are not allowed to send money abroad without a permission from the central bank. Imagine we still can't buy stuff from azon or airbnb. Even Uber is not supported here. Why i say this? To mention we can't use paid versions of those apps. We are sticked at free versions includind companies and individuals, which make people unable to use the technology to improve their skills and businesses.
Personally, i prefer using deepseek. I asked him once about how to overcome the situation in my country like i just described. He simply suggested to use bitcoin or to leave the country.
I'm curious, which country is this? Because I'm here crying that my own country is the first in terms of technological advancement and we've access to all these you mentioned here including paid Chatgpt subscription which were can use anytime. This means few business in your country can go fully online or use paid social media handles since you cannot pay comfortably without central permission.
I'm also curious, are you guys allowed to have accounts on centralized exchanges? If yes, then it's better to not come on exchanges and use them to purchase items from some stores that accept crypto.
