You can't open a bank account in another country in 2027.
Not with crypto income. Not as a traveler. Not without residency.
Here's what actually works:

Expanding on why I believe "ETH as store of value (SoV)" makes much more sense to focus on than "ETH as fee-burning token".
Three primary reasons:
1. ETH as fee-burning token never was as strong as it seemed
2. Optimizing for ETH as fee-burning token would demand Ethereum and ETH function in ways that are very hard to make compatible with decentralization and capture resistance.
3. Meanwhile, optimizing for ETH as SoV is aligned with Ethereum focusing on its unique strengths (decentralization and CROPS)
EIP-1559 (including its burn) is fine and good, we should keep them. But we should not feel sad if fee burn is < 10% of breakeven indefinitely; the value of ETH comes from elsewhere.
The core idea: the big thing that people appreciate about Ethereum is decentralization and CROPS. The main pragmatic benefit that these things translate into is stability. SoV is the category where that is not an unneeded extra we merely put effort into for ideological reasons, but rather a pragmatic strength from the perspective of people putting in their assets. And in the era of AI disruption, stability will be highly valued.

Tether Gold is safu
One underappreciated aspect of the KPMG US audit on Tether imo is XAUT.
There has been, for long and for different reasons, a focus on "paper gold" risk across financial instruments.
KPMG's audit was on Tether International, S.A. de C.V. (USDT issuer), but those gold holdings and the XAUT-backing gold (TG Commodities, S.A. de C.V.) share the exact same in-house Swiss vault infrastructure.
That is now been confirmed to be real: the gold bars are indeed sitting in a nuclear bunker in the Swiss Alps. Safu.
You only deal with one counterparty, part of a group that litterally prints billions in profit every year.
That gold comes with 24/7 liquidity and 0 running fee contrary to ETFs, ideal for a store of value. Hold that gold 10yrs and you save c.4% of fees vs. GLD.
ngl, pretty solid.

Stablecoins are increasingly being spent by card swipe.
Crypto payment cards have gone from a novelty to more than $750 million in monthly spend. These cards let people pay with crypto anywhere traditional card networks are accepted. Behind the scenes, the crypto — stablecoins, overwhelmingly — gets converted to local currency at the point of sale, so the payments look like any other card transactions to merchants.
Crypto cardholders don’t require a traditional bank account. Depending on the program, users either deposit stablecoins with a card issuer, or hold them directly onchain through self-custody. Crypto cards expand people’s access to U.S. dollar accounts globally, and they offer a convenient way for stablecoin holders to transact.
