Rand Doing Better Than Expected Against The Dollar

Lately I haven't been checking the exchange rates as I have had nothing extra to funnel out the country. Today I had a quick look and a bit stunned at the US Dollar dropping off in value against our local Rand's. I don't really follow these T/A graphs, but I am hoping for the Dollar to drop some more.

Every year I move some out through the side door/back door, but never the front door as the restrictions are ridiculous and crippling. There has been so much corruption happening that even doing it legitimately you are treated as though you are doing something wrong. There are heaps of forms to fill out and you have to prove the source of the funds.

I just find it ridiculous that your countries currency can fluctuate like crypto as it has gained over 30 % since May. If you look at the graph the Rand lost 30 percent in a 2 month period between March and May which is insane. 

This is not surprising why prices are fluctuating so much and why anything imported sky rocketed over the lock down period. I don't have much confidence in the Rand and why I have bank accounts outside the country as this could kick off at any time. Normally December was a good time to move money as somehow the Rand seemed to recover virtually at the same time each year.

Moving money is not a problem if you know the right people and luckily I met someone who does just that. A friend of mine needed to buy some machine parts for his factory and would have been refused any more foreign purchases as he still had some orders outstanding. We met the contact in what must have looked like a drug deal with sports bags of cash and some serious eye contact. The guy was true to his word though as you wouldn't last 5 minutes in this game if you weren't.

**9.9% fee is a bit steep and possibly a business opportunity here. I just don't understand why the fees are so high for something you deposit into and then receive a transaction into your crypto wallet.**

I have got to know him quite well since and he leads an interesting life to say the least. He is basically the money mover for many and not something I could ever get mixed up in. Instead we have a Bitcoin ATM nearby and will use that even though we are limited with what we can deposit and send before alerting the authorities. I haven't checked, but I believe it is anything under $650 or R10 000 at a time with a maximum of 10 transactions per day and anything over gets flagged. The only issue is the 9.9% fee which is a bit harsh and maybe why the money guy is the better bet.

You know that the US dollar is really in trouble when it starts falling against the Rand!

No offence to my many former and a few current South African friends, but when the US is consistently falling against the currency of the country that was once Africa's finest jewel and now is just another African basket case economy, you know that the massive USD money printing is starting to have a real impact.

It could be because of all the printing that happened yet the Rand has been printing as well which could be double worrying. It will be interesting to watch what happens as this could be a signal of how much trouble the Dollar has lying ahead.

Prrsonally, I think I'd lean toward the US dollar against the Rand. I'LL bet bitcoin over both. Either way ZAR can be monitored against crypto at http://www.satoshibitcoinconverter.com/altfiat/ZAR/index.htm

Absolutely the Rand is useless lol. I just happen to live here so was kind of hoping, but not stupid.

9.9% is quite expensive if you ask me

I've always heard that the dollar would be the last one to fall, and when it does there would be a boost in Emerging Markets for a while before they all crash together. I've been thinking about doing the Bitcoin ATM machine and bending over and taking the 10%. I think it would be very easy to make that 10% and not have to go through all of the kyc crap anymore.

Most likely as they have a list of coins you can buy and not just Bitcoin. I hate the idea of being flagged so everything I do is under the radar so it is appealing even though a ball ache of having stupid limits.
