I live in one of those countries. Nobody will accept my currency in exchange for bitcoin. I can't send money offshore to buy bitcoin.

I mean, just ask the Chinese how easy it is to get bitcoin today. The billionaires, millionaires, and political elite can get their hands on bitcoin sure no matter where in the world they are, but not the common man (the actual oppressed in those regimes).

Unlike Alex, I don't have a conflict of interest.
