Hawala is literally the opposite of crypto because it’s entirely about trust and has the same issues of external pressure modern banking has to stop transactions that crypto doesn’t

I don't see how they are alternatives to each other, because crypto doesn't perform the same function. It's only marketed that way.

You can be sure a system like Hawala works because actual terrorists have used it forever. Like Toyota pickup trucks.

There are notorious pictures of Toyota pickups with frames that have broken in half. Since they have "issues" does it mean insurgents should drive Teslas instead?
