For clarity, I was responding to this comment:
"I don't see how Bitcoin will set the vast majority of the world's population free"
I would somewhat agree with the statement ...
again, el sal is interesting case study... The pendulum has swung significantly there (from crime/homicide to stability) and it seems that bitcoin is only part of that swing
Further to this, is the resistance to institutions like the IMF/world bank... Which I would find very difficult to believe is somehow only a LARP
yes, I think there was some 'freedom' that came with moving to BTC from any other currency basis, I do wonder if they hold gold.
The onboarding of the lowest LSM groups is what interests me the most. In South Africa, this is well over 65% of the population, who earn roughly ~$80 USD per week.
most of that goes towards things like rent, food and very little is left for savings, which is often just put into a traditional savings account.
