Its also popular as a means to withdraw resources from dictatorships, basically improving private property protections at the expense of state ability to control their population.

You mean "withdraw resources by dictatorships", not "from" dictatorships.

As a dictator, my goal is to fill my bank accounts for when I get deposed. In most cases, countries who have their resources fleeced have lawful means to go after former dictators. Bitcoin removes that.

How exactly someone can "withdraw resources from a dictatorship" using bitcoin?
