That’s a very good point, but I think we are actually talking about two different things. Cuba is a failed state under an embargo with a devastated economy and widespread lack of essentials. In a society where most people have conveniences and their every day needs met, they will most likely seek the easy route that doesn’t require them to think too much as long as they have their panem et circenses.

Yep, so my original point stands?

If the water gets hotter more will find the need to use these

It depends on where in the world you are. The original post is really referencing countries where people still have the illusion of democracy and freedom.

Are a large % of Cubans currently using BTC? 🤔

I was just listening to the part of nostr:npub1trr5r2nrpsk6xkjk5a7p6pfcryyt6yzsflwjmz6r7uj7lfkjxxtq78hdpu's book about Cuba. Hard to know what % are using it if they’re maintaining good opsec, but there are quite a few. I have mad respect for Cubans who have resisted their authoritarian leaders, given the severe penalties for doing so.
