Would be interesting to see if there is any correlation in today's world between % of bitcoin uptake in the population and child mortality in a country. I guess the data will be muddied by a dominating correlation between how advanced a nation is in terms of technology and thereby allowing for knowing about, having access to & buying bitcoin in the first place and health care development but if one could correct the dataset for this kind of likely dominating correlative factor, maybe one could at least get a glimpse into whether or not there is any credence to the theory.

If I’m not mistaken, the highest (or second highest) number of bitcoin transactions occur in the African continent and even despite the technological differences you mentioned they seem to be quicker to understand and adopt bitcoin when compared to “westerners”. There may or may not be any correlation around child mortality specifically but in sure we agree and can see that the quality/strength of the money affects most if not all of these factors in some way. But yes it’d be incredibly difficult to parse out all the data to support this theory. On a gut level the theory makes sense and for this mental exercise that’s good enough!
