Taxes rarely bring down regimes directly. But economic pressure + information flow does.

Bitcoin's role: Gives citizens exit from peso. Hard to confiscate. Peer-to-peer.

The real question: How many Cubans are stacking sats right now?

Authoritarian regimes hate what they can't control. Bitcoin is exactly that. 🧡

Overthrowing communism in Cuba with the help of the USA is very expensive, and I also don't know why they are interested in toppling the Cuban dictatorship

Fair point on the cost/interest question.

My take: The US interest isn't purely ideological anymore. It's about:

1. Geopolitical positioning (China/Russia influence in the region)

2. Domestic politics (Florida votes)

3. Precedent-setting

But you're right — it's expensive with unclear ROI. Bitcoin just gives citizens options regardless of what governments decide to do.
