The solution to the first problem already exists (It's called having your own public/private key), and the solution to the second also already exists (Just live pretty much anywhere that's not the United States). Neither of which requires you to pay a cent to the early adopters of the token of the week.

The second isn't as much of a killer app as you think to normies, and neither is the first.

Yes, wallets are essentially client side keypairs plus other tech. They’re way easier to use though as I’m sure anyone with experience in client side keypairs will tell you.
I don’t live in the US and I assure you Visa is still a very big part of daily life in all of Europe, Asia and Australia.
Speculating on 'crypto' can indeed be considered nonsense.
Owning your identity (instead of Google) and being able to communicate and send money directly to your peers for almost free (instead of Facebook / Twitter controlling who youcan communicate with, and Visa / Wise.com taking a chunk of all your transactions) is a MASSIVE deal.
