In these situations, I always have to ask: who's taking the other side of the transaction, and for what fee? Who's trading Bitcoin for rapidly inflating Sri Lankan rupees?

People who have opportunities to buy at shops with old prices is my guess.

One anecdote from someone I know personally - it is more of a barter. Her family needed to do a medical procedure, she transferred bitcoin from the US to her family who then gave that to Doctor in exchange for medical services. Probably, Bitcoin is working as intended?
