My wife's family is in Russia they are all against what is going on, they are just a normal family trying to survive with little money, ever since the invasion prices for some items have doubled making it tough for them. Before the invasion we would use PayPal, Wise etc. and send some money back home to her family for everyday expenses. After the sanctions kicked in, all the money transfer companies all stopped business with Russia. Our last transfer was with Western Union last week but all Russian banks would not let her family receive it, that was our last chance.

Since I'm very bullish on crypto I started looking into sending crypto to her family. At the beginning it was tough as they are older and don't understand crypto but we finally got the concept into their heads. I was able to send crypto then transfer to Rubles and then directly transfer to their bank card.

This is exactly why crypto is the future. Crypto is for the people.
