Yes, clearly the solution to this problem is BTC, NOT some kind of other reform or liberalization. </s>
- kelnos 9y agoI'm not usually one to defend the parent in this kind of argument, but I think there's room for both. Social reform can take years or even decades. If Bitcoin acts as a band-aid while those reforms take their time to progress, it could be a net positive there. But I do remain skeptical that it's actually making much of a difference.
- djhartman 9y agoI agree in principle, it's just that I'm pretty sure BTC is pretty useless for the things someone needs to buy on a day to day basis in Afghanistan.
