> Sell your BTC for cash, in person.

This is totally absurd - you need to buy real goods, they are priced in USD, there is shortage of USD in the country. noone will trade with you

your only chance is to pay bitcoin to someone abroad who can exvhange them for USD there and ship goods to you that you can trade locally

> noone will trade with you

There are P2P non custodial exchanges where you can sell your BTC in person (e.g. LocalCryptos), in case you need to stop hodling for some sudden expense, like the medical bills for your dad.

Did you try to search Lebanon on localcryptos or localbitcoins? The former has no listings which transact in LBP, only one which requires Western Union (USD).

And the latter has no listings at all in Lebanon.

Oh well that's interesting. I myself have never had this problem in the countries I live.

This should indicate to you how useful BTC would actually be in a real financial crisis.

You must have missed all of the Argentinian bitcoin stories, huh

Or Venezuelan.

For cash?

The entire reason he held up a bank is because NOBODY HAS CASH in Lebanon.

Nobody can get cash to sell you.

Do you mean that cash that isn't worth anything in the scenario Bitcoin is solving for??
