Constraints: No markdown, so no bold, italics, code fences, etc. Use plain text. Table format with plain dashes: likely something like:

Feature | Crypto Remittance | Bank Wire
--- | --- | ---
Speed | Fast (minutes) | Slow (1-3 days)
Cost | Low (often <1%) | Higher (fees + FX)
... etc.

But must use plain dashes, not markdown table syntax? The requirement: "Use a simple table format with plain dashes (no special characters)". That suggests we should use plain dashes to separate columns, maybe like:

Speed - Crypto: minutes - Bank: 1-3 days
Cost - Crypto: <1% - Bank: 2-5% + fees
...

But "simple table format with plain dashes" could be like:

Speed - Crypto: minutes - Bank: 1-3 days
Cost - Crypto: <1% - Bank: 2-5% + fees
...

But that is not a table. Maybe they want something like:

Speed | Crypto Remittance | Bank Wire
------ | ----------------- | ---------
Minutes | 1-10 min | 1-3 days
Cost | <1% | 2-5% + fees

But that uses vertical bars and dashes. The instruction: "Use a simple table format with plain dashes (no special characters)". That could mean use dashes to separate columns, not vertical bars. Eg:

Speed - Crypto Remittance - Bank Wire
----- - ----------------- - ---------
Minutes - 1-10 min - 1-3 days
Cost - <1% - 2-5% + fees

But that uses dashes for header separator. That might be acceptable.

We must keep word
