Tell HN: Coinbase is a joke (product and support)
Meanwhile, I needed to pay folks who have fled the country, and now are located in Kazakhstan. I used... Western Union. Surprisingly, it was without any fees, I sent the exact amount in dollars from the US and they received exactly the same amount in US dollars in minutes.<p>I don't know why Bitcoin today is something people want to use, since you can send Western Union or use other payment methods (like Wise) to almost all countries.
