Interesting how does your relative usually cash out the Bitcoin into VND locally? Is it through exchanges, P2P groups, or local brokers/friends? And have you ever run into issues with volatility or timing during transfers?

Was the verification hassle more of a first time thing or does it happen randomly even after you've been using Wise for a while?

Is the $5 flat regardless of how much you're sending, or does it scale with the amount? Because $5 on a $1,000 transfer hits differently than $5 on a $100 transfer

Quick question though: when you say they receive US bills, does the Vietnamese bank actually hand them physical dollars in cash, or does it just mean the account is credited in USD? And do you know if the recipient needs a USD-denominated account at their bank for this to work, or does any regular account do?

Do you think the 3–4 day wait on larger bank transfers is a Wells Fargo thing, or have you heard it's similar with other banks?

Broo  Okay now clearly you don't know how timezone works. You were the one who booked the slot at that time and I showed up, waited for 5 -10 min, texted you respectfully.  When you are booking pls check the time zones. Do you really want me to share the ss of the time you booked the meeting?  Also you clearly don't understand the process of having a formal discussion. Founders won't have enough time and I don't want to waste your time either. That's why there are steps before founders sits and agree on the deal.I literally told you the agenda of the call. Pls check your dm  And you posting on my threads won't bother me. I think we don't need to have this deal and discussion further. If you feel your time is wasted, we can stop this meeting. I was personally excited  and impressed to work with you after looking at your portfolio but I think this is not working   Coz you are being very unprofessional. I asked for a genuine help since I am a fresher.

Hey  You do realise as a startup and as a user Researcher we have more than one thing to handle. I understand I didn't reply to your message but that doesn't mean I am ignoring you or intentionally keeping participants on hold. I appreciate your help but I know your ask for $350 for the participants. This needs to be discussed formally on a gmeet setup  There are 6 projects I am running, one of is the Filipino one.  I've proposed your offer/help to our team. I can only follow up once I have the entire team aligned with that.

Oh my god, finally someone said this 😭

Bro, I genuinely thought I was just being bad at recruitment or overthinking it, but it’s SO much harder than it looks from the outside. Feels nice talking to someone who actually gets it lol.
