Crypto was not designed to bypass state but to provide transparency and stability to currency/money. Say you are in Venezuela where your money is constantly devalued and your political power is diminished, every option that you have to survive that doesn't harm people directly should not be considered in high horse moral terms.



Indeed, the comment that only NK, narco-states etc support crypto is a bogus moral attack on crypto

NO state truly supports crypto, as it bypasses state-controlled money (by design or not; I'd argue that is exactly one of the design goals).


Are we ignoring El Salvador now? Or is its support not "true"?
