Stop trying to understand bitcoin, you privileged, elitists hacker news folk won't ever understand it how is to deal with a hostile corrupt government that through banks/inflation just robs you.
I can't tell if this comment is serious or an attempt at sarcasm. Regardless, there's a very valid point in there that if you're in a "hostile" country, BTC has given you an opportunity to get your money out in an easier and more secure way than ever -- if you can deal with the volatility.
