Sure, but "evading the censors will probably be a continuous effort" and "censorship becomes a non-issue" are not compatible in the real world. Even despite that the great firewall has not succeeded in preventing the use of proxying services it still is a massive success. And despite all the ways you can circumvent it censorship very much continues to be an issue, I'd argue more so for every day. The instant such SMS message transactions become popular a quick filter will kill that if the need for it arises. And SMS is hardly the technique for privacy minded communication (neither is bitcoin). What remains is perhaps ham radio. Still easy to triangulate, jam and is not accessible to anyone but the most extreme. Making triangulation even more desirable and paints an even greater target on your back. Printed copies are hardly something to look forward too, it also excludes pretty much everyone. Cash would be quite superior unless you are transferring huge amounts (which most won't).
