Using Crypto at a Non Profit?

[globalsea]

Hey there. I work at a non profit and we help people throughout the world who are discriminated against, oppressed, and even killed for their ideals and beliefs. We have bases throughout the world and we transfer money to each of these bases. However, with governments/private banks being corrupt in these countries, sometimes these transfers are ceased.

We would like to utilize crypto currency to solve our problem. Do you have any ideas on the below question?

1.) What would be the best currency to use for international transfers from the US to places like India, North Korea, the Middle East.

2.) How could the recipients turn their crypto into cash without going through a bank? For example, if we sent 10,000 worth of Rupee to India via crypto, how would the end user convert this into Rupee in their country?

Thanks for any and all help!

1.) What would be the best currency to use for international transfers from the US to places like India, North Korea, the Middle East.

Bitcoin. I'm not very specific and aware of the current status of crypto adoption on India and North Korea but AFAIK, you can use it there. Wait, you have contact on North Korea?

2.) How could the recipients turn their crypto into cash without going through a bank? For example, if we sent 10,000 worth of Rupee to India via crypto, how would the end user convert this into Rupee in their country?

They can use a local exchanger for that or sell it through Peer to peer trading.

Bitcoin will still the best cryptocurrency for that purpose but surely you need to make sure about the regulation at the mentioned countries. Afaik India has very strict rules about crypto, the last time I heard that Zebpay which is the biggest exchange in India stopped their service to cash out fiat money to local bank account. Not really sure about the latest news.

2.) How could the recipients turn their crypto into cash without going through a bank? For example, if we sent 10,000 worth of Rupee to India via crypto, how would the end user convert this into Rupee in their country?

Peer to peer would be the best option, or maybe bitcoin ATM (if any).

IMO the only option is peer 2 peer trading, and by that I mean direct trade / trading on the spot, not using platform like Localbitcoins. In such countries, considering they're really oppressed by the government and there's a lack of innovation, I also believe there won't be any exchange that support direct withdrawal to their own bank account.

Everyone says Bitcoin, but if you want some privacy and impossibility tracking currencies, Monero may be a good option.

We are still in a world dominated by banks and paper money, it is difficult to conduct transactions without going through some central roads except in the case of cash. Seems to be an inappropriate option in case of large transactions.
Localbitcoin: It was an option but it would impose some regulations.
You need to trust another party to make these conversions happen.

these two questions are not separate from each other. they depend on one another instead.
you are looking for a cryptocurrency that you can easily send overseas while the receiver wants to easily receive them and the be able to find a place where they can sell them (convert to fiat). and do all that in the safes way possible.
the only answer is bitcoin. it has the most secure network, and more important most secure wallets (from full nodes which are the hardest to use, down to SPV/light wallets that are easiest to use. and they work on multiple platforms and devices). additionally the adoption that bitcoin has compared to anything else makes it a much easier (but still hard) thing to covert to and from cash.
the problem however is that although bitcoin is by far the most popular cryptocurrency it still has not reached mass adoption so people will always have a hard time when it comes to exchanging it with fiat.

Bitcoin would always be preferable.

You cant use up those local exchange yet it do have some regulation.So, your last resort is peer to peer transactions towards other parties.

They just have to look for a local exchange in their country or they could just look for a person that is willing to trade their coins for their currency. About North Korea, I doubt that they can find a local exchange there.

[traderethereum]

The answer will be bitcoin. You can find a seller who will help you to convert from bitcoin into fiat, and you can find it via localbitcoin. That will be the best places you can use to exchange bitcoin to fiat.
Remember the seller so you don't have to contact it via localbitcoin and you could also ask his mobile phones, so it will make you easy to contact him.
My suggestion is don't use exchanges because it will need days to receive the money. Usually, the exchanges follow with the rule from the local banks.

At least everyone considers safety and transfer fees.
XLM has low fees and good transfer rates. and blockchain is available to help xlm users everywhere.

We must know the purpose of the transfer, whether the destination country provides good access to crypto exchange. I do not know that India still legalizes this transaction or not.

this should be a consideration.

Hi I am from India and I have converted my crypto rewards in INR many times. I even filed by Income Tax return showing my income from Bitcoin so its not illegal at all. Yes Indian govt has not accepted Bitcoin as currency and do not encourage people to invest into it, so that exchange converting INR to Bitcoin have been stopped. There is no strict restriction here to buy or sell crypto on decentralize platform.
Funds can be sent to India as Bitcoin or Ethereum and same can be easily converted at localbitcoins or localethereum easily, as of now there is no hard restriction over it.

1. any major coin to avoid price fluctuations
2. any exchanger or exchange which accepts fiat withdrawals. b2bx will have great limits for withdrawals via fiat

The first thing that should be kept in mind is that the recipient country should have crypto legalized or at least regulated because I am from India and crypto is still neither legalized nor regulated in India.
Second thing is that the end user whoever is receiving the crypto should have a crypto wallet and have the basic knowledge on how to use it and make transactions.
In countries like India, it is still tough to encash crypto and I myself use a P2P trading platform called WazirX for getting the amount into my bank account.
So, inorder to encash the crypto the end user must either have good contacts so that he can trade the crypto to them for cash or he must have a P2P trading account like mine.

Please dont go far into looking for another crypto currencies.

You are against corruption and manipulation and that is why you are taking risks into using cyptocurrencies.
Pick only bitcoin.
Do not go for options like centralized ones for they are still under banks and the government. You will just regret the end of it.

The problem that you will be having though is if you want to cash it out specially in US where they are strict with money laundering although they cannot catch what is inside their country already.

I'm thinking conversion to fiat won't bring a major problem if they are able to do p2p trade because it is a matter of Mobil transfer through their phones.

The use of the USD is favorable on India and the Middle East except the bolded part. Idk what currency are they exactly okay with or whether they accept any other nation's currency but your best bet is to just use bitcoin in NoKor (if ever you are really deep into this one) due to their recent involvement with such. IIRC, Hong Kong and Macau were the gateways of money transfers if you want to send money over at NoKor (though of course, why would one do that?)

2.) How could the recipients turn their crypto into cash without going through a bank? For example, if we sent 10,000 worth of Rupee to India via crypto, how would the end user convert this into Rupee in their country?

Facilitation of OTC trades and the use of P2P exchanges would do the trick, however this is not 2013-2014 anymore and most exchanges and methods of converting crypto to fiat are being regulated, and so one should really get into the official process in order for them to get their money.

Or a not-so-popular option: use this forum on the Currency Exchange section and post trades in there. Perhaps you might get lucky and get someone who would want crypto in exchange for cash.

Huh? North Korea? Are they open for some communications in their country? The best cryptocurrency you should use is bitcoin.

Try using paypal. I think it would be probably less suspected if you will first use paypal before putting it to bank.

[kurian]

I don't know about the best currency which could be used for the countries you have mentioned.

For India, if you are going to send cash in crypto then, it could be converted to local currency using peer to peer exchanges. As I am from India, I use

1. localbitcoins.com
2.wazirx

localbitcoins is the best one I have ever used. It is available in India, Middle East and many other countries.

[Harlot]

By the looks of it it seems like you just padded the question so that people can answer your question without any suspicion. India has been known to be hard on their crypto users that even their banks are not allowed to touch crypto related transactions with exchanges so their citizens only way to liquidate it is through localbitcoins which I think won't be fit to you as most of their mode of payment is through bank deposits. I don't even know how you will get through North Korea as being a dictator led country it seems like cryptocurrency transactions will be highly moderated.

Local bitcoins is available for many countries you cannot close this for few countries in the list alone.
I believe you do not have access for coinbase, kraken or some more exchanges I believe LBC is helping you guys better and then you may try localethereum also in future for ethereum exchangings.
