Meet Maria, who sends value across borders with bitcoin 🌏💌

Maria is a dedicated Filipino nurse living in the U.S., tirelessly supporting her family back home. Like many Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs), she sends remittances - a lifeline for millions but one burdened by high fees and slow transfers through companies like Western Union. In 2022 alone, these companies raked in $50 billion from remittances like Maria’s!

Maria found a better way. By using bitcoin and the lightning network, she seamlessly converts her dollars to bitcoin, transfers it instantly, and her family receives pesos—all without even knowing bitcoin was involved. No delays, no high fees—just more of her hard-earned money reaching the ones she loves.

Maria’s story is part of a global movement. With 79% of remittances sent to low and middle-income regions, imagine the impact if these funds went directly to families instead of middlemen.

Celebrate Maria’s mission to redefine international transfers and empower families worldwide!
