You probably don't live in Zimbawe, Venezuela or trying to get money out of China or another country for that matter. If you want to take over 10 grand out of the country you have to declare it or risk having it siezed.

I don't, you are right. But then why would I buy BTC? I don't need it if I live in the US. If it is so amazingly valuable to people in these countries, then why are we buying it and hoarding it instead of giving it to the people in need?

Because it's the current get-rich-quick scheme and human nature is rather selfish than altruistic? Because it's been a good tools to store value and move it over borders?
