International banking sucks.

So much so that I decided to use nostr:npub1yul83qxn35u607er3m7039t6rddj06qezfagfqlfw4qk5z5slrfqu8ncdu to convert from THB to BTC to EUR, instead of just making a transfer

Unfortunately, the experience wasn't great today. I easily converted THB to BTC, using the same seller as usual.

But after, I had to cancel 2 trades:

- First one because the buyer pretended to have sent the money, and tried to send me to a third party platform, to "accept" the funds...

- Second one because the seller wouldn't honor their own rate from HodlHodl, trying to haggle a better deal for themselves...

I guess I should have been more careful picking up an offer. I mostly looked at the price. But their success rate was not in the 90s. And they'd made very few trades.

I'm still learning.

But I wasted so much time on this. And I haven't managed to convert from BTC to EUR, yet. Plus, the price of Bitcoin is falling down, so I may lose on that, too, and not even get the amount I planned for in the first place.

On to the next.
