1. Trick question; don't engage. He's asking you to do something without _but also without banks and without cards_. He could as well ask you to do it without using the letter “m” in your keyboard. If the point is “crypto is how poor, unbanked people can take their wealth with them”, then someone with $25K and on an international flight is most definitely not poor and not unbankable.
1. Done. With Wise. Quick, easy and with reasonable fees. And there are others. What was the point?
1. Good one. I don't know how to do that, with or without crypto. I'm curious to see how it's done with crypto (not how it _would_ be done, but how it's _been_ done).
1. Again, trick question: why on Twitter? He could ask you to do it on IRC as well. Setting that aside: Kickstarter, GoFundMe, Indiegogo, etc.
1. This must be a trick question too, because it's too easy. DigitalOcean Spaces, DreamObjects, GCS, Azure, Wasabi, IBM, BitTorrent, IPFS, home server.

1. I don't think it's a trick question. And why is crypto just for the poor? The poor can't even fly, either.
2. Even BTC is cheaper and faster than Wise. BCH is almost free and instantenous.
3. With FTX.
4. Yes, he could have said IRC. That's what he means: without using a platform like Indiegoogo that can cancel/deplatform you.
5. IPFS is part of Web3/crypto, and the cheapest option by very far.

@tripu My comments:

1. If you have your wealth at the bank it's not really yours (bank run risks, seizures, etc.)

2. Have you tried to do a Wire from the US to a different country? I have and was blocked until I called my bank to give details. No bueno.

3. Remember ICOs? If crypto is not solving that problem is because states don't want it to solve it.

4. Why not on Twitter, if that is where your audience is? Why give 10, 15, 20% to platforms that can hold your money hostage? news.bitcoin.com/gofundme-shut

5. I read the original point as using any centralized service, so your content can be taken down.
