Yet trying to set up crypto as a person in a developed country in 2021 is kind of a pain in the ass. It's not too hard to exchange between types of crypto, but getting real money that I can buy a pizza with in and out of an exchange? Not too easy. There are requirements for credit cards or confirmed bank accounts for payment, scans of an ID card or driver's license to prove I'm a human, the possibility banks can at any point determine it's a scam and block transfers to any exchange, and so on.
If it's that hard for me, a person in a developed and ostensibly free country to do it, how the hell is some average person--not a government official or wealthy person with connections--in North Korea or Eritrea going to set it up and secure their financial future to any degree better than a pocket full of cash and old jewelry?
