Great points. This was captured in our recent short story that helps bring to life refugees fleeing with only their bitcoin: https://primal.net/e/nevent1qqsfsf49uth56p8uwc9ysfgwmga7xm864yre4axzaq0uz6x9kqfr36sv0wmex
Why this report on refugees using bitcoin is so important.

Until now we’ve not had a quantified report showing the volume of people benefitting from bitcoin. That has meant critics could say “oh but social benefit x is only impacting a few people”, or “oh but that’s just anecdotal”
Now, that response is not possible.
Now, there is not just evidence but quantified evidence about the lives of those in need that bitcoin supports: ie - the displayed men, women and children who are most vulnerable people in the world.
Now, when you claim out of ignorance “bitcoin has no use” you are saying “the lives of 329,000 refugees are useless”
I’ll be jumping on a couple of podcasts to share the report in a week or two. In the meantime, have a read. It’s very visual and feasible and it will help you stop dead the “bitcoin is useless” FUD and orange pill more people who care about humanitarian causes.
