It also seems broadly ignorant of technology in the last decade that has done far more for unbanked people than crypto currencies.

UPI and M-Pesa have had far reaching effects to this regard. This narritive that crypto helps the unbanked is not true.

If I'm wrong about crypto helping the unbanked, please provide any context or numbers to back up this claim.

P.S. Let the poor countries solve their own problems, if you want to help donate money directly.

Yes that's what I was saying I fully agree other tech has had way more impact on the unbanked. :)
