Suppose we give you a batch of NEAR tokens to do AssemblyScript core development, without attachments or supervision. They are liquid, meaning you can convert them instantaneously to BTC on http://binance.com/ or any other exchange, and then cash out into your local currency, wherever you are located geographically. Are you saying that you will not use it?
It so happened that I worked in the banking sector for a while, and then I had a chance to work in crypto several times. So knowing these two worlds from the inside, I trust banks and SWIFT transfers much more =) At least there is always an option to promptly cancel the transaction, there are guarantees. In 2020, in my country (you know), FATF adjustments and recommendations were adopted, you need to go through KYK and explain each transaction above ~$1000, otherwise you will be interested in fin. monitoring. This is no better and often worse than dealing with the banks) Or turn everything on illegal exchangers and hope that everything will be fine.
Personally I’m not a crypto enthusiast from the word at all=) And this is not the first time when we are offered payment with some own tokens. We even often joke that it’s time for us to issue our own cryptocurrency and start paying with all of it. And those who refuse will be blamed for short views and conservatism=)
