How can I use Bitcoin to send money internationally?

Bitcoin enables cross-border bitcoin remittances at a fraction of the cost of traditional services like Western Union. Using Bitcoin or the Lightning Network, you can send any amount anywhere in the world in minutes, 24/7, without intermediary banks. This makes Bitcoin especially valuable for international workers sending bitcoin remittances to family abroad. All you need is an internet connection and a bitcoin wallet — no bank account required on either end.
