Overseas Pakistani send money in dollars. The family receives money in rupees at lower rate. Why the family does not receive the remitted money in actual currency. Where is the problem?

The problem is the world banking system -- which is why they came out with Bitcoin to disrupt the banking system jo dono hathon se loot ta hai..... when you send money via a bank they charge you a fee, when you receive money via a bank they deduct a certain amount ---- its a sham... take a listen to this video -- this guy creates very well researched content:
