I really don't see how it could ever be a financial system. It would require regulation, control and identification. It requires a central and powerful supervisor per country. It would render the system at most equally accessible, possibly less.

If you want a bank with a publically accessible ledger, fine, build it, or have your government publish all banking transactions. But don't pretend bitcoin can be an alternative to the current banking system.

I talked to people from Argentinia, Nigeria, and Venezuela.

They have all this tradfi regulation, and it's shit.

I think, some people are just a bit blinded by living in the handful of countries that have systems which actually work.

My point is: you won't be able to avoid "tradfi" regulation. It's there for a reason, and it will be implemented. It's one of the government's sources of income.
