Money transfer is impossible to stop as long as P2P exchange exists. My country banned crypto a few years back. I just bought in-person. Nigerian central bank banned crypto recently. Nigerians just exchanged it over Whatsapp

The fact that central bankers are busy banning it should give you an idea how disruptive it is.

The Nigerian central actually prohibited banks from facilitating or participating in crypto based transactions. You can still trade legally however you want.
