That is a problem that was already solved. I've personally bought things from foreign countries (in person, and via mail order) with a credit card.

I've personally bought things from foreign countries (in person, and via mail order) with a credit card. > Try to buy something from not-so-friendly urisdiction. And you will see the difference between storytelling and business. Give an actual example, rather than a vague hand-waving hypothetical. Some random points: 1. For mail order: paying is only part of it. Shipping is just as important. Are you hypothesizing a "not-so-friendly [j]urisdiction" where international payment difficult but international mail is easy? 2. For in person: would the person prefer my crisp American dollars or dicking around with Bitcoin addresses and waiting hours for transactions to confirm? 3... I could go on. My general problem with cryptocurrency "use cases" are they tend to assume the utility of cryptocurrency, ignore alternative solutions, and latch on to some narrow aspect of a situation when zooming out even a little would reveal contradictions and problems.
