And now we easily see why the internet the way it works is not compatible with the centralized model of 'big tech' companies.
Banks in UAE are supposedly offline due to an Iranian precision strike in AWS data centers.
Imagine during times of distress, such as being stranded in foreign land in mid of war and falling missiles, you rely on f***ing banks and their system won't even load
This will NEVER happen with #crypto (such as Monero). You don't need to rely on no company or bank if you host your node. You don't need authorization, the network just confirms it. There is no such thing as transfer limits, you just use your money.
