Very good point. And frankly, when some Argentinean uses crypto to circumvent capital controls and get a better rate for his incoming payments than his fellow law-abiding citizens, that doesn't strike me as a use case "solving a problem" either.
A lot of the "oh you're only anti-crypto because you're so financially privileged" inclusion is pretty disingenuous, if not predatory.

The Argentine government stealing people's money and forcing them to use a currency it deliberately destroyed is a huge problem. Allowing more people to escape the government's exploitation is good. You are either privileged enough to not live in Argentina or privileged enough to belong to the political elite who are exploiting the rest of the population if you don't think that's a problem. Even if you have no money to circumvent capital controls with, you are still harmed by their existence and benefit from the system being undermined.
