I've heard good stuff about getting cash out, BUT: a) I have heard good stuff about getting out relatively small amounts of money. Getting large amounts of cash out might be more problematic, idk. Though now it works just as a bank, so it should be as problematic as any bank transfer is... b) For crypto, they explicitly say that there is a limit on how much you can transfer in a day/month. If you operate large amounts of money, this might be a pain (not my case).

You can use Revolut for crypto, if you do not care about anonymity. It is not a crypto wallet sensu stricto, but you can move coins between wallets and Revolut.

Revolut is British.

unfair and unjustified lawsuits against Americans Companies

We need to be careful about this point. We cannot let Trump push the EU to be even milder on Big Tech perpetually breaking all kinds of EU laws (e.g., GDPR, Digital Markets Act). This is about our basic rights, and about an internet that works more for its users and builders, and less for its "owners."

Overall. I wonder, if somebody gives me a Lambo, can I sell it, buy a bus, and drive friends in it?

I wonder which one is more expensive, a new Lamborghini or a new bus.

You mean just take the bus?

Yes, but... Let's say papers A, B, and C are introducing methods. Often, each paper will choose to show the benchmarks in which their tool was the best. In reality, each tool might be better for a different task. If you understand the tools, and have gotten used to this kind of papers, you will probably get what each tool is good for. But the papers themselves are misleading, and people often just blindly use the "cutting edge" for everything.

And I agree. If you have to, for some reason, book a taxi in a European city, you will often get it sooner with Bolt than Uber (my experience from Poland). It is partially because Bolt gives more to the drivers, and they have both apps. It has scooters and Bolt Food. It is available in many places outside of Europe, but unfortunately not Canada, Australia, or New Zealand.
