I can use cryptocurrencies from anywhere in the world, I can't use M-Pesa unless I'm in one of the few countries it operates, and even then I'd be at Vodafone's whims. Truly it may serve similar needs (money for the under/unbanked) but the scope is not nearly the same.

How do you move cryptocurrency back and forth to local currency you can spend?

LocalBitcoins works just fine for me.

If enough people adopt the currency you don’t need to off ramp.
