| schestowitz | you have to understand. Most people, in societies not financed by USD, £, €, ¥, live on a tiny fraction of their local currency daily. Yet all of their bills are pegged to the USD. So getting even 1 USD is a huge boost in income. | Aug 16 17:54 |
| schestowitz | One bank where I am requires 100 USD minimum to start an account that is equivalent to 12000 of my currency. Worse one requires 3 points of ID and 3 recommendations. So hard to get USD yet all my bills are affected by USD daily equivalence. | Aug 16 17:54 |
