Thread: Money Gram

Seems to have the lowest fees between Western Union an using bitcoin. Anyone use Money Gram? Any complaints?

i use moneygram and walmart2walmart better than western union they dont ask questions. there is a moneygram kiosk at some CVS stores where you type everything yourself and just pay the clerk at the end.

I use MG, and it’s worked like a charm so far

I prefere MG over crypto for 2 reasons.

1. How unstable the market is. It is safer to play the stock market than crypto market and we all know how risky stocks are!

2. Security, or the lack there of. I know it is ironic. Crypto, while being encrypted, is not secure and Bitcoin has been known to be programmed/encrypted with a bunch of hidden things in the data like child pornography and the such.

Instability? Sure.

Don’t buy until your ready to send. Problem solved. Been using btc for 2yrs and never had a problem.

Ppl and Ace due if the screw up is there fault.

For example ppl well give you the option of a reship or refund for the first customs siezure. Or if you have a video of you unboxing and something like a vial is broken or leaked out and it's clear that it wasn't you intentionally trying to scam a sponsor.

1. I think you are confusing speculating with actually using crypto to transact with. Buy what you need at the time you need it and be done with it. If you decide to buy more, that's on you in terms of volatility.

2. Very misleading statement. Cryptography, especially SHA256 and ECDSA are hella secure. Quantum computing is about the only issue and that is years down the line. Further, even if quantum could break the cryptography behind Bitcoin, the larger issues are all the other things that would be broken (web security, online banking, stored confidential data, etc). As for programmed/encrypted child porn, that wasn't the programmers. That's because the ledger is open to anyone and if someone pays the tx fee, they can store whatever they want in the excess space. Don't mislead people into thinking that the dev team did it or that the blockchain is littered with it.

Ok but what about the fees and irs taxing it like the stock market. They are now required to report trades. I can send $500 Western Union INSTANT for $5!
CryptoCrap cost $10 just to buy that same amount, then you have to wait 20 DAYS just to transfer it to your wallet. Then after transfered I can spend it and hopefully it's still worth the same or better.
And now the IRS is taxing it as capital gains just like the stock market. I am not paying a 15% premium for a currency exchange.
That's outrageous when I can send a WU for $5 and it is INSTANT.
