I have read both this questions:
Can I easily use Bitcoin as a inexpensive way to transfer my money into another currency?
Does it make sense to use BitCoin to transfer money to yourself internationally?
Which both do answer yes to the questions, both answered by @Murch and others ofcourse.
Those questions where done a long time ago, and I'm sure things have changed and improved.
The situation is: I have my cousin in Australia, where he has money there. We would like to transfer it to Euro and I thought we could do it using Coinbase.
Could we just exchange the money to ETH or BTC with AUD and then once in Europe transfer it to a Bank here.
Would that be cheaper than using transferWise or throughout bank transaction? (As far as I can think of, it would be only Coinbase fees on deposit and currency exchange which might differ... Or maybe something else)
We don't actually care about the amount of time that we spend with the transaction.
