Now onto your second point, did you read what I posted before imprudently writing your message here? Yes, I am converting to fiat because I have to spend some money of course for living, but the good part is all the bullshit and problems go away. Its so much quicker and cheaper. And I can save the rest in the BTC.

If you want to have a civilised conversation you'd better avoid adjectives like 'imprudently' because without understanding the first part better now that you've clarified it, of course it makes sense what I said in the second part.

Are you aware of the fact that in some parts of the world less than 20% of people have access to the Internet?

Yes, but that is not the case with the OP.

Somalia and Eritrea are one of the countries with the worst Internet access in the world.
No Internet means no ATMs and no card terminals in stores. To get money you have to physically go to the bank and request a withdrawal, or fill in a paper with the bank number of the person you want to send money to.

So what? That, again, is not the case with the OP, he received legal money by international wire transfer to his bank, which in the end he decided to receive payments with bitcoin because it was less hassle, it arrives faster and he pays no fees (or maybe the transaction fees are deducted from the total payment, this is not specified, but I'm sure it is much less than the international wire transfer fees).

Can you imagine running a business where you work online and to find out if you've been paid by the client you have to go to the bank and stand in line to ask if there's money on your account.

So what? Again, that's not what we're talking about here.
