I entirely understand how when pushed into an extreme situation a person has no option but to utilize anything she can and I think we can all agree the situation in Afghanistan is not relevant to our freer part of the world. That said, I'm sure she'd prefer to just use regular bank transfers. - ThreadSky

If KH had won, the USA would be facing a CBDC about now. So you could very well be facing a future where you have to deal with your money being censored. You’ve had too many cheeseburgers based on your health history, you can’t buy fast food for the rest of the month. (Pick your example)

Oh, cool, now you've turned to stories from alternate realities...that's so much more convincing.

I think her preference is unknowable, but she's talked about bitcoin a lot:

And I think the fact she's describing Crypto as a thing she was forced into using speaks volumes about her preferences.

That said, she's not a financial expert or an economist and the debate here isn't "Should people have a way of being independent financially" but rather "Is Bitcoin it?"

If interested in works by a financial expert, I recommend Broken Money by Lyn Alden, which tops the charts in various categories of banking, economics, and computing.

Larry Leppard’s new book is really good too. He’s a gold bug to bitcoin convert. “The Big Print”.

There is also an animated video on it that one can watch before committing to the book, but I still highly recommend the book to capture more of the details.

Fascinating and irrelevant, anything wrong with FIAT is miniscule compared to the apocalyptic shitshow that is Bitcoin or Crypto in general.

Asking me to replace problematic with horrendous won't work because I recognize the logical fallacy at play, nice try though.
