In Cuba, we don’t have access to PayPal, international banking, or most crypto exchanges. But we do have something valuable: necessity and creativity. And in that context, Bitcoin becomes a real freedom tool.
📲 Many of us use wallets like Muun, Wallet of Satoshi, Phoenix or BlueWallet, which don’t require KYC and work well with a VPN. Some buy USDT on Telegram groups or even on the street, and then convert it to BTC using NCWallet or peer-to-peer.
💸 Bitcoin is used for:
Getting paid for freelance work from abroad
Saving value in sats to escape CUP inflation
Sending/receiving remittances without intermediaries
Paying for mobile top-ups, services—even food—through intermediaries
💡 In a country where financial access is blocked by sanctions and local restrictions, Bitcoin is not hype—it’s a necessity.
If you're reading this from another country, imagine living without access to your bank account. That’s what Bitcoin helps us solve here.
We’d love to connect with Bitcoiners in similar situations. Who else is living Bitcoin the hard way?

How much Bitcoin is used in your daily life? Is it still done in secret, or do businesses advertise that they accept this form of payment with confidence?

I use Bitcoin very frequently to send remittances to Cuba for my family, and for me, it's a way to have a little more financial privacy because the government here wants to keep everything for itself. *I'm an entrepreneur, and I do accept Bitcoin as a form of payment in my business, but many people don't want to accept it because they think it's a scam. You know what it's like to have no Bitcoin culture, which is different from all the other Ponzi systems?

I'm happy to see ordinary people using it. Keep offering your services in Bitcoin; one day, a client will surprise you.
I didn't understand your last question.
