Visiting Indonesia, noticed all the drivers coordinate with you via Whatsapp, and want payment in USD cash.

Honestly if I was in charge of WhatsApp I would add native stablecoin payment right now. No brainer. They would make billions in volume overnight.

This has to be Bali right? WhatsApp does have payment rails in Brazil & India afaik. And maybe even Singapore. If you take a taxi or a grab, this doesn’t happen though

But I really recommend grab on Bali. Though there are some areas the taxi cartel are strongly anti grab. 

Technically you should settle everything in rupiah, but even I forget this when in Bali (a lot of usd and even card transactions nowadays)

Yep bali. Didn't know there was a payment feature in some geos! Makes sense, too big of an opportunity for WhatsApp not to explore, especially with all the business offering they've been adding
