That is a fault of their own systems, not the system I live within.

If people in Venezuela want to use bitcoin, they can go ahead. That doesn't mean we should embrace is in the Western world. It's a net negative for us.

The western system sucks too. In the US it's still federally illegal to buy weed and it can be very difficult to get abortion pills depending on your state. Darknet markets are desperately needed
