That is nice for someone abroad. A few more steps, but if you can cut down on transaction fees, it's probably worth it.

If I can suggest something to you, check out Control-Finance. I've been with them a few days. They're a bitcoin investment program. Do some research and decide if it's the right thing for you. They payout a daily percentage of you deposit in bitcoin. The deposit is non-refundable but the payments are continuous. Sorry, about the shill, but I'm trying to spread the word. Again, be sure to look into it. Here's my referral link and to see what the website is all about: https://control-finance.com/?ref=LongStockSilver . Also, if you have any questions, let me know.

Have fun in the Philippines and investing in crypto!
