What part of this is enhanced by involving BTC, as opposed to just being an unlicensed money transmitter?


BTC enhanced the transaction because it's a bearer instrument, not a promise of future settlement. This reduces the cost to process a transaction & increases the speed of settlement.

Ridivi [1] has a money transmitter license in Costa Rica.
