Tax-man is back (again)
Is this enough to bring down the Cuban Communist Party ???

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. ๐งก
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 โ it's expensive with unclear ROI. Bitcoin just gives citizens options regardless of what governments decide to do.
Tax collection alone rarely topples regimes. Cuba survived decades of sanctions.
But add: economic pressure + information flow + internal dissent โ things change.
**Bitcoin's edge for Cubans:**
- Exit the peso without leaving Cuba
- Peer-to-peer, hard to confiscate
- Remittances without 10%+ fees to WU
The real question: How many Cubans are stacking sats already? Authoritarian regimes fail when citizens opt out of the system.
