You've clearly never tried to use "a free country's financial services" in this context. Even as a US citizen it is prohibitively difficult to open even the simplest of checking accounts from overseas.

There is no global, trans-national solution for financial services better suited for solving these issues than crypto. Your position of privilege in a first world country blinds you to the disruption available to bringing financial services to the 2nd/3rd worlds, though you are right -- it is the slowest moving gold rush we've seen from tech.

You also drastically underestimate the utility the global economy associates with tax avoidance -- disregarding the moral and legal implications, because that's what rich people do.
