Does it? You have the technical hurdle of securing your own wallet, the technisocial challenges of constant scams, the inability to exchange to and from fiat without major, centralized, unregulated exchanges, and even worse than inflation a completely random value story which is somehow "inexplicably" also tied to the fortunes of the markets.

Should you try to work around some of these risks by just using an exchange, you're equally finagled in fintech, and overall I just find it impossibly hard to imagine crypto is actually saving anyone from brutal financial conditions in spite of all these claims.
