I buy Steem because I am able to send it around the world in 3 seconds to people I interact with here.

Every time I’m in a store seeing people in line to pay $9.99 to use Moneygram for remittances I wonder how long such an archaic system can survive. I sporadically make small donations to @schoolforsdg4 and it takes three seconds to send a bit of money to Bangladesh for free.

For how long will $9.99 be able to compete with free?
