That is very well put, but it does rely on the government not interfering in the crypto sphere too much. Given the CCP's crackdowns everywhere else, if citizens stashing away money in bitcoin becomes a big problem, they're likely to pay attention to this area too.
After all, you somehow have to get your dollars or RMB or whatever converted into cryptocurrency in the first place, and then get them out again when you want to buy something with them. You also need to hope that the government doesn't have the resources to take over 51% of the network by conscripting all the miners running in their country.
- latchkey 3y agoWhat most people do not consider is that in countries with a lot of capital controls, black/OTC markets are the way most citizens interact. Just head to any gold dealer for all your currency conversion. You might think, wow, that is crazy, I'm not going to take a bunch of cash to a gold dealer to do that. But the reality is that this is how local citizens do things all day long. It is normal there.
